   Thanks for the reply, I know where to find the lally columns I didn't think they would have enough juice to jack the floor up.  I'm guessing I have to go up 3/4 to an inch. I thought the lally columns were suitable to hold the floor up when I get it there but  I didn't figure they'd be able to move the floor that much.  Am I mistaken on that?  Thanks again

   Sorry, I wasn't paying attention, you're right, you won't get much lift out of the lallys. HD rents bottle jacks and screw jacks for 12 and 10 bucks a day, respectively, I've gotten them from local rental places for as little as $3/day

   Hope you get pumped up,BB

   There were a bunch of us interested in those at the time. One of the editors posted here with the answer. I've had a system crash and reformatted the hard drive since then so I don't have the link in my bookmarks anymore but I did get some literature. I'll see if I can find it tomorrow but you migh try e-mailing the editors

   here's the company but I don't think they had that product on the website last year. You have to contact them about it.

   If you have any rental and contractor supply yards near you, like Rental Service Corp. (RSC) they will probably have screw jacks in stock. I can buy some pretty beefy screw-type jacks at RSC for about $110.

   Online, you can find these at

   And here's a place in Harrison New Jersey

   Do a Google search for "Otto Service" -- they're the place for all jack related stuff.  Lots of useful info on their web site.  The funny thing now is that decent screw jacks have gone up in price to where you can get a bottle jack cheaper.  So I use the bottle to lift, and cribbing and shims to hold.  Norco bottles from Japan have pretty much taken over the market here.

   I know i'm gonna get flamed for this, but here goes. See if your local mechanic has a heavy truck jack or two for loan. I have 2 30T units on the truck for just such a situation.

   Can't I go 1 day without spilling my coffee?
