Why do alot of tables go unlevel in just a few months...

Yeah, it didn't sound like it would be an issue. I grew up in Chicago and I know what temperature change and rainfall is all about.

In regards to an earthquake, the table may stay level but the problem is that it is now in my neighbor's house.

What I am curious about is living by the beach. It's not as humid here, as say Miami, but what exactly is the affect of humidity on a table? Is it more in just how fast or slow it plays?

the humidy will slow it down a little in So CA . i'm mostly concern with keeping the cloth clean being in the garage. The dust will also slow simonis down. A good cover is what you need.

I will be getting a cover for sure for that exact reason and to keep the cat off it. I recently got a new roll-up garage door which seals all the way around and helps keep all the outside crap from coming in. I carpeted the garage already so it will be more part of the house than it used to be.

BTW, I found that barrel nut I was looking for at the local hardware store. :thumbup: Oh, and a new box of Brunswick Centennials arrived today.

A concrete floor can definitely move. If the slab is built upon a soil with a significant clay content you run the chance of having it move. Clay soils expand and contract with different moisture contents and temperature swings to a lesser degree. So if the water table moves up or down or if you have a really wet or dry season the supporting soil will move causing your slab to move. Expansive soils cause more monetary damage to buildings across the US yearly than tornados or hurricanes...
