The misadventures of the I-beam

Hello again!

So, this all happened last Saturday. Brad has been fairly annoyed with me, as it was my job to get the pictures off of the camera and then post them. He has another post from Sunday of last week all ready to go, and that one is now published below.

So, Brad arrives and sees the prep work for the I-beam, as shown below.

Brad went inside to see what James was up to. He was cutting out parts of the beam so that he can slide the 350 lb I-beam into place.
 







Now, before everyone claims that I have a thing for the contractor, I want it to be known that BRAD took all of the pictures of James. So, if anyone has a crush - it's Brad. It was then time to get the beam into the house. All 4 men (including Brad) loaded up and headed up the front stairs.



Then, it was time to put the beam onto the lift to get it into position. After some false starts, they finally got it up there. 


They jammed the temporary column supports in and Voila! A beam!



One beautiful, flush-mounted beam, at your service!
