Obviously a wedge would be better - but then what would happen to my
four-letter-word vocabulary? Indeed, about half the nasty words I utter =
are when
I am trying to find that one feeler-block that has walked away. Hmmmm, =
time to
make a nice wedge!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV> </DIV></DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>>> Or, for a =
much more
complete picture, you can measure the change in <BR>>> crown at =
all
accessible ribs! That's what I do. You get dirtier and say <BR>>> =
more
nasty words, but you sure get a great picture of what is happening =
<BR>>>
down yonder. I tape a string at one end of the panel near a rib and hold =
<BR>>> it to the panel at the other end of the rib. Then I use a =
series of
<BR>>> little feeler-gauge wooden blocks that I made up (in
half-millimeter <BR>>> increments) to see which one will just fit =
between
the string and the <BR>>> panel bottom. <BR>> <BR>> Or a =
wedge, with
increments marked off along it's face so you <BR>> only have to keep =
track of
one tool.<BR>> <BR>> <BR>>>I do that at all accessible ribs =
both
before pre-stressing <BR>>> and with the board =
loaded.<BR>>>
