Abstract:
A first post has a lower portion at a first floor of a multistory building and an upper portion at a second floor, and a second post has a lower portion at the second floor and an upper portion at a third floor or building-top structure. A post connection includes a horizontal cap plate and a vertical sleeve extending upward from the cap plate and having a bore with an inner dimension. The cap plate attaches to and covers the first post upper portion to prevent water intrusion into the first post. The second post lower portion has an outer dimension that is slightly less than the connection sleeve inner dimension so that the second post lower portion is slidingly received in the connection sleeve bore in an overlapping, telescopic arrangement. A retainer may be installed for engaging and supporting the second post on the connection.

Claim (Index 9):
The system of  claim 8 , wherein the second floor of the building includes a concrete slab, and wherein a top end of the sleeve is generally coplanar with a top surface of the concrete slab.
