Framing & Structure
We support the porch roof and remove a badly sagging beam, and replace it with more serious lumber.
An old garage is raised with jacks and the rotten old sill plate (or bottom plate) replaced.
We attached automotive tow hooks to the corners of a leaning garage and cranked it back into plumb, using ordinary cable winches and chain.
I used a hydraulic bottle jack to lift up a section of the wall so the framing could be fastened back together.
We raise up a 10x12 shed, repair the base, and drag it across the lawn.
