The crew arrives early and bright. (We'll give them the benefit of the doubt.) They cut some 2x4s for bracing.
 |
A temporary 2x4 stud wall holds up the second floor while we figure out how to take out the old beam.
|
 |
| The beam starts to give with some prybar help |
 |
Jeff and Mark adjust the new, deeper beam's first half as it is set in place.
|
 |
| Larry and Jeff ruminate on beams and the beer to follow |
 |
Dave holds up the whole 2-ton beam all by himself.
|
 |
Well, Mark and Larry helped.
|
 |
Jeff adjusts the new post.
|
 |
Dave nails in the last of 64 nails. (Jeff and Larry helped.) See, Jeremy, we do listen to the engineers instructions.
|
 |
New beam, it all its bracketed glory.
|
 |
| Really opens up the space! |
