Well today was a warm day in Tassie (30 degrees), so a good day to be putting up ridge beams. The builder and I managed to get up two as well as building another ceiling so we had something to stand on.
The big one is 290x90mm and is just over 8 metres long. The two of us could lift it , just, so with some thought and strength we managed to get it up to its resting place, just under 5 metres off the slab. Only casualty was my finger that was caught between the beam and the scaffold. The jury is still out whether I will lose the nail.
Tomorrow is supposed to be warmer than today. We have to get the other ridge beam in and level them all, so should be another challenging day.
