I've been kicking around different ideas on how to fix this and finally took some action. Placing a jack next to it was able to relieve the pressure on it (after slacking the stantions first) and remove the door jam cover to inspect for rot. To my suprise I didnt find anything. Top or bottom of post looked good to me. Nothing like some other pictures I've seen.
Now what i did see is that pressure from the mast has leaned forward on the bathroom wall and causing it to buckle. I can only assume this is because of the cross beam giving about a half inch.
The post moved about a half inch forward of the overhead cross beam. I was able to move it back to be directly under it. You can see in the pictures that I wasnt able to move the door jam to match. No matter what I tried i couldnt move it forward enough to match the post.
Ugh. a weekend burned trying to get this fixed and I'm not satisfied with the outcome. A little better but not the silver bullet....
What to do?!
