The posts need to be lifted in place the joint matching exactly. We are very lucky to have two strong helpers to do this. The right people at the right time! The posts and beams are lifted in place now for the first time. After this Mick will see exactly where there needs to be done some small changes like shaping and cutting.
Getting ready to lift
Mick at the joint directing the beam, two helpers lifting: one at the end and one in the middle
Both lifters in the middle, Mick directing
Will it touch the roof structure of the rain cover? No, it fitted.
Slotting/pushing the beam in place
You all look so happy Mummo
ReplyDeleteThere's something incredibly satisfying about watching the first posts go up—it’s a foundational moment that sets the tone for everything to come. I really enjoyed this post because it captures the excitement and care involved in early-stage building, where every measurement and adjustment matters. Your hands-on approach and attention to detail are clearly paying off, and it’s inspiring to follow the progress as you shape your vision piece by piece. Posts are more than just support—they're the beginning of a structure that reflects both function and personality. If you ever decide to partner with professionals to expand or refine your work, R for Remodelers is a fantastic option. They’re known for high-quality craftsmanship and thoughtful, tailored renovations that complement projects like yours. Looking forward to seeing how your structure continues to rise—keep up the great work!
