hey ya'll,i just finished installing my floor a few days ago when i realized the frame was bent and my foor wasnt square by 1/2 in. on one side in the galley section! :x after a brutal attempt to correct this by splitting the diference on both sides(1/4 in) i was completly bummed out . then i search here and found you could put it up on jacks and it would straighten it self out. low and behold, finally! squared and lookin good! only 4 days to attach the floor! "patience grasshopper" damn!o.k. im gonna breath thru this and post some pics tommorrow. i made alot of progress on getting my walls covered in valara foam and will be attaching my paisley vinyl tommorrow! thanks for all of your help here from everyone! grateful inexperienced builder

Sounds like you're off to a good start :thumbsup: Remember, we LOVE to see pics. Sometimes a few hundred extra sets of eyes can be a big help.

Take Care!

It doesnt matter if it isnt square---It just adds character

:o You need to keep the jacks under the thing the whole time and check from time to time that it is still where it should be. :thumbsup: At least until the sides are on good. That will hold it up in place.

:applause: :thumbsup: It's all up from here so :hammer: GitRdun!
