Hi Bob,  The spring did stretch over about a month. 3/4"?  Like a music =
string.......... It may have stopped now, I can eyeball it thru the =
window, and it seem to now be stable.

  The room ranges from about 65 to 75?
A room in my finished basement, and I see no temperature effect.   I =
places a heater in the room to see if I could, but saw nothing change.=20

  I don't have a lot of weight on the spring, so I am hoping it does not =
deform. much..

  Interesting, very interesting - from a non-engineer, how do you plan =
to compensate for creep and eventual deformation in the metal slinky, =
and how close is your temperature control, plus or minus what number?
