Flying through these beam installs 😎

What happens here

Utilize a material lift, such as a drywall lift or a specialized beam lift, to raise the main wooden beam to the height of the joist hangers. Carefully position the beam onto the lift's arms. With multiple people guiding, slowly crank the lift to raise the beam, ensuring it remains stable and balanced throughout the ascent. Guide the beam towards the opening created by the joist hangers on the posts, aiming to align it for a smooth entry.

Goal: Elevate the main beam to the correct height and align it with the joist hangers.
