Structural repairs, part two

The basement beam has been raised into place, the jack posts added, and the beam levelled. The upstairs doors that previously were sticking now swing freely. We still have to add shims so that each of the floor joists is adequately supported.

We've also added a tripartite water filter, just after the water meter, which has (at least in the last several days) filtered out a considerable amount of sediment. This should prevent our hot water tank from getting filled with sediment and, thus, sounding like a percolating coffee pot ;-)
