This thing is really starting to look like something now 😎

What happens here

After the main beam is in place, workers proceed to install vertical support posts and connect them with secondary horizontal beams. This creates the box-like structure for the roof frame. Workers use ladders to reach elevated positions, indicating that fastening and alignment are critical. One worker is seen making a cut with a circular saw (0:21), suggesting on-site adjustments. The use of multiple people confirms the need for teamwork in handling lumber and ensuring proper fit.

Goal: This step involves installing the permanent vertical posts and connecting secondary horizontal beams, establishing the basic skeletal structure of the roof. Careful measuring and securing are essential for structural integrity.
