Quick attention to the order- everything arrived-great fit and perform as advertised.
It was disappointing to find that the crack in the kitchen ceiling drywall resulted from 50 yr old joists sagging on their nails. I used Ellis 6x6 Screw Jacks and Purlin Splicers in combination with 1/2" turnbuckles to persuade the joists back into position to place joist hangers with structural screws. Having estimated the load at 2500#, I was a little concerned about how much leverage I would need on jacks without thrust bearings. However, I never maxed out the 2x4x4' I used so the screw jacks proved themselves very useful. Within a few weeks the gaps were closed, joist hangers installed and everything removed. The Purlin Splicers also provide great support for the beam and allowed me to raise and lower the brace as a single frame.
Our project involved adding several support beams under an old house that only had one center beam, halfway attached. With some minor modifications to the Ellis jacks we bought, they worked perfectly to help raise and level out the house, now supprted with the new beams. Fine tuning was easy to make.
Worked better than I had even imagined. My treehouse & swings are super popular with all the kids in the neighborhood!
We are on a hillside and our home has shifted causing all of the original beams that support our floor joists to become crooked. There was one pier support that had been updated with a collar tie and a new pier top at some point in the past... and the new pier top that was added actually snapped off and had shifted to the edge of the original pier. I bought an SJ4 and purlin splicer for 4x4 to repair it. Removed the old collar tie top with a jackhammer, added a bunch of 1/2 rebar sunk into the old pier about 6" and glued in with Sika epoxy. I then surrounded the area with a form and poured 10 bags of concrete. The SJ4 is really easy to use, there is no actual bearing at the base, but for this use that doesn't really matter (there is no need to have a large lifting capacity with these). I do wish that the holes in the baseplate were a bit larger (3/8 or 1/4). But the TapCon screws should be fine as there really shouldn't be any lateral force on the base plate. The Splicer was equally easy to use. Really effortless repair.
