hog, great.

This sounds like it will take out beamwise hogging. I was under the
impression he has lengthwise hogging.

Jeff, which is it?

I think they're related. The center area sagged so the ends lost their
rocker. It was stored on sawhorses for years. In sun. Weighting and
boosting the center thwart and dancing all sound like good ideas.
