ABSTRACT:
A system for supporting and maintaining the upper portion of a building structure in a level condition includes a vertically adjustable load-bearing assembly including a plurality of spaced support jacks supporting the upper portion above a lower portion of the building structure, the support jacks being adjustable vertically in height independent of the other in order to maintain the upper portion in a level condition, and a plurality of level indicators fixed relative to the upper portion that cooperate with each other to indicate whether the upper portion is level. A method of keeping an upper portion of a building structure level includes the steps of installing a vertically adjustable load-bearing assembly including a plurality of spaced support jacks for supporting the upper portion of the building structure above the lower portion thereof with each support jack being adjustable vertically in height independent of the other, fixing a plurality of level indicators relative to the upper portion such that the indicators cooperate with each other to indicate whether the upper portion is level, and adjusting the height of the support jacks until the indicators indicate that the upper portion is level.
