A method and apparatus for tying building components together or to the ground utilizes a system of spring-tensioned cables (46) strung between the foundation (16) and the top corners of any shear diaphragm. The cables (46) are kept under tension regardless of the shrinkage of wooden components, providing evenly-distributed compression on the structure's framing members.
