What's the proper way to add spacers between deck beam and joists
What I ended up doing is getting a 12 ton hydrolic jack from Lowe's for $50. Stacked a bunch of lumber up to the beam, put the jack on the lumber, carefully jacked up the beam up off the post until the level sitting on my deck went true. It was raised exactly 1 1/2 inches. So I took a spare, pressure treated 2x4 and put it between the post and the beam.  Then I lower the jack, check for level and secured the spacer with hurricane brackets. After I got the good jack, the whole thing took about 1.5 hours.
