Thanks guys thats helpful. I'll try 3/8 or threaded rod, the threaded may help, I could put a nut on top of 8-10" pieces so it doesn't fall through the 4" solid top block into the hollow below

Hi all, question for the pros: I'm replacing my garage sill plate (on block foundation) and want to hold sections of the new 4x6 plate in place from sheer movement while I replace other older sections for two reasons: - I want to leave room for some vertical movement until everything else is in...

1940's post/beam garage with sagging ridge and 2-3" wall bow Continuing on with the worlds slowest project, I finally have the rear sill plate in and bolted to the foundation but not the framing yet. The right side has been jacked up 2" and sill plate removed. I had one issue with the...

Now that I have the entire rear sill out I can see what is going on: the left rear corner is where its supposed to be, but it looks like the entire structure in the front is 1-1.25" to the right. That pushed the right rear corner back ~1/4" as you can see in the pic above. So ideally after...

My garage looks the exact same and I'm doing the same thing (at a snails pace). Those don't look like joists/rafter ties to me given they are 2x4 but I'm no expert (at all) so don't take any of this as gospel, just what i've figured out here. Check your sills first to be sure they are not...

1940's post/beam garage with sagging ridge and 2-3" wall bow Well it didn't take 3 years for a progress report this time. I changed tact and decided to tackle the rear wall first, since it seemed square. I'm cutting out pieces of the old sill plate in sections and lifting using bottle...

One other question I had on the sill -- that front plate is only 12" and the corner post rests on it but with the new portal frame installed nothing else does. I was considering just extending the side sill to the end to rest the corner post on instead and creating (eliminating?) what would be a...

1940's post/beam garage with sagging ridge and 2-3" wall bow Might be breaking a record here -- since the garage is used for storage only it sat for 3 years with a 'temp' support under the ridge. With other Covid projects wrapped up, I'm tackling the sills now with 4x6 PT. Yesterday I cut...

yep -- they said case closed. all was done by automated emails...

Closing this out -- paypal did me right and after a week waiting for a response from the seller covered the full cost.

Thanks everyone for the comments. Before I test this out, after refilling the lost oil and letting it sit vertical for a few days, should I be doing anything else about the fact that it was on it's side for shipping, or will that do it?

Not listed -- generic manifest w no info. looks like manuf is MAT Industries, LLC 118 West Rock Street Springfield, MN 56087

I called Dewalt and they knew where to look for the shipping details on the manifest. But no, despite the arrows that said this end up -- contains oil, it was on its side on the crate without straps. The box wasn't damaged but the pallet under that wheel was, which wasn't visible. Paypal sent...

I'm almost certain a few whacks I can get it straight enough to not bother me with the wobble. I'd rather that anyway than another 6-weeks of back and forth before I get something new to be honest. My concern is mainly on the safety of pressurizing the tank.

i called Dewalt and they stated shipping damage is the responsibility of the seller. AutoAnything is unreachable (4+ hours hold times) and the online system just says no returns on this item when I try and initiate a return. They use PayPal so I initiated a dispute with them but I'm not hopeful...
