Bringing the steel beam into the house. It weighed 125kg. Mark found that the previous beams beside being effected by wood bora, also had warped by 2 inches. The span of the lounge was too great for the load of the roof. He plans to put 2 of these steel beams in to hold the roof - because he is removing the load bearing wall between the kitchen and lounge (to make it open plan and to bring more light into the lounge). These load bearing walls were also significantly cracked. He is also thinking of putting a room space later on.
Mark and Mmalae working out how to get it up (the celings are high!) without injury and without it falling and taking the floor with it.
Half way up...
It took them the whole day to get it up, but there it is. Second one... next week.
