I dont think many noticed, but in the pictures of the house being built, there is a view, of what looks like a possible permanent post in the garage(i cant tell from the pic whether its temporary or not), where the temporary jack is now placed. There may be a joint in the beam in the center of garage, and there is supposed to be a post holding it up. Its possible, if said post existed, that someone took said post out by committing vehicular posticide.If that one temporary jack took out the bounce, I would assume its under and undersized or deflecting beam. Cut open the dry wall and see whats up there.
It certainly looks like they are in about the same position in many garages certainly have a center post like that. I wonder if maybe you could install a heavy beam (steel or engineered) across the garage with appropriate end support and accomplish the same thing? It would simply be worth having engineer look at.I dont think many noticed, but in the pictures of the house being built, there is a view, of what looks like a possible permanent post in the garage(i cant tell from the pic whether its temporary or not), where the temporary jack is now placed.
