    Long jack extension blocking

    In doing some repairs on my chicken coop I needed to right one of the wire mesh walls at the entrance door
    to do this I used one of the old load lock jacks I used to build and to make it long enough I had to fix a 6x6 block and support that so it would be stable. And yes there is so much pressure on the jack it is bowing but it did the job and stayed in place long enough to afix the supports in place

    Never try to tell me it can't be done
    When I have to paint I use KBS products

    On long house walls, or other building walls we used to use a long spring back board to either push or pull out the discrepancy. Was always amazed at how much you could move things with glorified levers and some nails and a bit of smarts. You had a relatively safe set up there. Nice to see it work out like it should!
