Placing a beam

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.
