This beam is HUGE!! #shorts
What happens here
The material lift raises the second beam, while a worker on a ladder carefully guides its end into position. The beam is then connected to a vertical wooden post, which appears to be one of the main support posts for the new structure. This step completes the basic framework of the main beams, creating a substantial opening and outline for the roof. The integration with the existing house wall (covered in Tyvek HomeWrap) is now more apparent, suggesting a seamless extension.
Goal: Attach the second heavy beam to a main support post and complete the primary beam framework.
