SB: RE: Just what is "adequate" pre compression ??

["Pacot, Domingo G" <Domingo.Pacot@team.telstra.com>]

Funny , a few people have mentioned that they broke a winch or stripped the
threaded rod.  Maybe there is a bit of superiority complex  involved here  (
"down, bale, down, damn you " ) .  

I reckon if I was using an average built person's strength on a one ton
"pull along" every 450 mm  ( one foot )  along the wall  for a non load
bearing structure then I'll have a better than even chance  of little
settling afterwards. 

My only concern then is to see that he top plate is level (ish )

	  Hubby also had used a l ton hand wench (fence
	type?) to pull down the cable tie downs and we were so certain we
needed
	to see the wall compress that he actually broke one wench!
