Or rather, the second big beam swings into place! With our open floor plan and no load bearing walls on the first floor, most of the weight of our house falls on two huge beams that span from the front of the house to the back. Yesterday the guys set the second of these beams, this one is the core of the second floor truss system. Check out the pictures and imagine what it was like at our house yesterday.
We couldn't put in the frame for the big living room window until after this beam came through the opening.
The beam is quite long and very heavy.
Watch out camera man, it is coming for you!
Checking to see if it is straight and in the right place.
It took the big High Hoe to lift the beam onto the house.
This is what it looked like yesterday afternoon around here!
