Hydraulic jacks should not be used for house lifting!!! House jacks, which are a type of screw jack are what should be used. The screw jack in your car can also do light duty work in a pinch, (works great) I am NOT trying to beat up on PWW, I just don’t want to hear about PWW (or anyone else) in the hospital or worse. Are there are any pro house movers who could offer more advise?
