Rico,
Attached to posts # 5 & 6 are earlier pictures of my compression post. The post cap has worked itself even further into the ceiling. Or if you prefer, the ceiling has dropped even further around the compression post cap. My point is that if I leave that where it is, I effectively will capture the post top by strengthening the area above it. I only asked if someone had been able to raise the ceiling enough that my post would be free to move and or remove. When I open the area above the cap, will the ceiling return to it's orginal form or do I have encourage (read force) the ceiling up to it's original contour.
