September 15 - Another update

More photos that I'll let explain our progress so far:
At the top of the picture you can see the i-beam. It has wooden planks fitted and bolted into the sides so that the roof rafters can be attached. The beam weighs over 800 lbs and had to slowly be jacked into place using the "cribs" you see supporting each end of the beam. They would jack the beam up about 8 inches, insert another layer of the crib and then repeat until the beam was in place.

Another angle of the crib under the beam.


Here's a look at the opening for the fireplace.

The wall studs in place for the new bathroom wall and the opening for the French doors leading to the deck.

The i-beam all in place and the cribs removed.
