Da Beam

We had been planning and plotting how to get this 300 pound gorilla in the house and into place, then we decided it was overkill.  More beam than we needed, so Greg shaved off about 6 inches, reducing the weight by maybe 30%.  Then another friend happened by to ask a question about audio interfaces and offered to lend a hand with the beam.  So, we just did it!  Ahead of schedule!

After wrestling it into the house through a living room window and barely making it around a corner, we used props and ladders and furniture movers, etc., and pushed it up into place, one step at a time.  No rush.  Safety first. 

Bring on the snow.

    Looks awesome up there, like a new house! Question- what if you just leave it like that and don't frame anything else out? I like the nice tall ceiling!

    Gotta bring the ceiling down to hide wiring and get some insulation into place. I would like to get it as high as possible though, now that you mention it.
