What happens here
The team begins assembling the large arched timber frame bents on the ground. This involves carefully fitting the mortise and tenon joints and securing them with wooden pegs. These bents, once assembled, form the primary structural arches for the new extension. The telehandler is used to carefully lift and position these heavy sections.
Goal: Construct the main structural arches for the extension
