The big lift

After a very long day yesterday and dawn start this morning, preparing all the beams and fixings - the lifting team assembled at 10.00 this morning. Each beam weighs in at about 280kg but 2 hours later everything was up and it was beers all round! Susie, Jasper and Ruby watched via the webcam. Thanks everyone for your invaluable help and Sheri for taking all the photos.



This afternoon a big clear-up, grouting in the beam ends and bearings, more preparation of joists and then their installation.

Looked @ the album on Picassa, nice pics. Thanks for posting them, construction techniques around the world differ a bit, makes em' interesting Chip

This build is very "traditional".
Very different to the stuff I used to design as an Architect.
