When the first two posts are up a beam can be placed on them. After that after each post there goes a beam in place. In these pictures a second beam is lifted in place so it comes (on the right of the picture) onto the first beam and (on the left of the picture) onto the post.
First the beam is lifted on the high working platform. Off that there has been placed a plank to the post on the left of the picture, Mick is standing on that. The helper on the right, Ben is standing on a ladder and Karel, the helper behind Mick is standing on the working platform.
The beam is lifted to lie on the other beam (and post under that) already in place.
After that it is lifted across to the other post.
This beam will need some fine shaping and adjusting. There is a small gap between the two beams.
It’s always exciting to see these structural moments documented—placing a beam is one of those pivotal steps where everything starts to feel real and connected. I really enjoyed the way you described the process, and the photos added a great visual context. The care and precision involved in positioning something so foundational speaks volumes about the thought you’re putting into your build. There’s a quiet beauty in this kind of work—where strength and craftsmanship come together to create something lasting. It’s wonderful to watch your project progress with such authenticity. If you ever need professional collaboration to bring other elements of your vision to life, R for Remodelers offers skilled, detail-oriented renovation services. They bring the same respect for form and function that your build clearly reflects. Looking forward to seeing what’s next in your inspiring journey!
