A storage assembly structured to be supported on a base is presented, wherein the base includes a plurality of spaced apart beams. At least one embodiment of the storage assembly includes a platform and at least one mounting device attached or otherwise connected to the platform. The mounting device(s) comprises an attachment mechanism which is structured to be removably engaged with the base and/or one or more beams thereof. Further, in at least one embodiment, the mounting device(s) is disposed and structured to removably support the platform in a predetermined spaced relation to said base.

A timber expander and coupling system both expands at least one dimension of existing timbers and spans two existing, timbers. The timber system includes first and second parallel spaced continuous members. Each continuous member includes a first portion extending in a first direction parallel to a timber, and a second portion, extending from the first portion, in a second opposite direction. The first and second continuous members are held in spaced, parallel relationship by either a cross-member, or an expander timber disposed in an expander timber receiver region formed by the second portions of the first and second continuous members. The first portions of the first and second continuous members form a timber coupling region, for coupling to timbers and for expanding the dimension of an existing timber, or for coupling to and spanning the distance between at least two timbers.

Methods of adding floors to an existing building structure without altering the exterior of the structure is described. One method involves providing additional foundations within the existing structure and supporting a plurality of internal columns upon these new foundations. The internal support columns are brought through the existing roof and a large platform truss is supported on these columns. A conventional construction skeleton is built on the platform truss and provides as many floors as is required. Another method involves building a further foundation immediately adjacent the existing structure and supporting external columns and also providing new foundations within the existing structure with internal support columns. A platform truss is supported on the external columns and the internal columns and the platform truss acts as a base for conventional construction skeleton with as many floors as required above the existing building structure.

Method for repairing or forming structural bodies of selfhardening fluid cement mortar, in a sub-aqueous or other situs, utilizing body-forming cavity including body-shaping walls of porous fabric in combination with openwork matrix means. Fluid mortar or like cementitious material pumped into cavity to fill same and expand fabric walls against tensional restraint of fixedly maintained matrix means. Pressure of fluid material continued against restraint of matrix means until small proportions of fluid material oozes into the porous fabric, and indicates attainment of lowered water-cement ratio in formed body, and then fluid material is allowed to set and harden in said given formed shape. Some, if not all, forms of the invention are particularly useful for under-water installations, such as breakwaters because forming matrices thereof are capable of withstanding rough seas or storm waves without damage during the construction processes, and because the fluid cement mortar pumping operations are possible in minimum of time when rough water conditions subside.

A long travel lift system, apparatus, and method enables users to raise a structural cap from a structural bottom for creating a fillable space between the structural cap and structural bottom for receiving a second, cap-supporting construction intermediate the structural cap and structural bottom. The long travel lift system incorporates a series lift apparatuses, each of which include a telescopic tube construction and winch assembly for imparting a lift force to an inner tube of the telescopic tube construction for extending the inner tube relative to an outer tube. The load lifting force is transmitted to the inner tube from the winch assembly via a pulley assembly and lengthwise slot formed in the outer tube of the tube construction. The outer tube is reinforced with various structures in view of the slot formation. The winch assembly is outfitted with a transmission for enhancing rotational speed of the winch assembly.

A system and method for raising a structure, or part thereof, the system comprising vertical jack members connected and disposed about a rail system attached about the periphery of the structure. The vertical jack members comprise an outer sleeve and a slidable inner portion that is driven vertically by a jack screw and drive block. Extensible diagonal cross-braces stabilize the jack members and structure being raised.

The current invention is a device to allow for storage of household goods and articles in an unfinished attic with additional insulation place above the top surface of the joists. The platform device of this application will not interfere with additional insulation and will allow additional storage space without the need for expensive building materials and/or support structure to preserve the integrity of the additional insulation.

A system for lifting and supporting a roof including a jack and a pair of jack mounting brackets. One of the mounting brackets is attached to a roof truss and the other of the mounting brackets is attached to a ceiling joist. The jack extends between the mounting brackets, and has reduced diameter ends which are received within enlarged openings in the mounting brackets.

In combination with a horizontal deck arrangement supported above ground level and having a facia member attached to and extending below the deck along at least a portion of the periphery thereof, a seat and safety rail assembly comprises a plurality of brackets spaced along and attached in upstanding relationship to the facia member. Each bracket comprises an extended, generally vertical lower post member, a seat support member substantially perpendicular to the post member, having a front extremity joined to the post member and a back extremity; a back support member joined to the back extremity of the seat support member and extending away from the seat support member in a direction generally opposite the post member; a top rail support member joined to the back support member remote from the seat support member and having at least a portion thereof extending from the back support member outwardly from the facia member; a brace extending between the seat support member and the extended post member for maintaining the two last-named members in substantially fixed relationship; and means adjacent the end of the extended post member remote from the seat support member for fastening the assembly to the facia member in a cantilevered fashion.

The building structure comprises a pre-existing single house structure having a peaked roof with an opening therein, a separate later built prefabricated dwelling unit positioned in the opening in the peaked roof of the house structure and extending outwardly away from the house structure and supported in the opening in the house structure by bearing walls of the house structure or separate support structure or by both which dwelling unit includes access either from the exterior or interior of the house structure or both, and which prefabricated dwelling unit includes parallel spaced apart side walls including a truss therein extending the full length of the side walls. Expansion of the single story pre-existing house structure is accomplished by constructing a prefabricated dwelling unit at a remote location shipping the dwelling unit to the site of the house structure, cutting an opening in the roof of the house structure placing additional support structure for the dwelling unit inside or outside of the house structure in either spaced relation to, adjacent or within bearing walls of the house structure, physically lifting the prefabricated dwelling unit into position in the opening in the peaked roof of the house structure and extending outwardly therefrom and supporting the prefabricated dwelling unit on one or more of the bearing walls of the house structure and the separate support structure.
