[QUOTE="JMJ Farms, post: 1526059, member: 24583"] Since you mentioned a loft I will throw one more suggestion out there. If you’re dealing with substantial weight.....and the post is sound..... Set up cribbing on two opposite sides of the post. Place two bottle jacks, one on both sets of cribbing. Then place a piece of steel or strong wood against the edge of the post and across the top of each jack. Chain the crossmember to the post where it can’t jump. Then apply alternating pressure on each jack until you get the post up. This puts all the pressure on the post and is really safe bc if it’s set up correctly nothing should buckle or shift when under pressure. With this being said I’ve rigged up things that should’ve malfunctioned and killed me. But I get more and more careful as time goes on. [/QUOTE]
