The latest buzz....We got the first 25 foot long (4"x8") beam up. It was massive. We started this beam moving upward by setting it on saw-horses. We then moved it up to the top of our 6-foot step ladders, before we pushed it all the way up. It still has to be lifted and set between the four column posts, but that'll just be a series of small lifts and blocking. I'll build the other long one tomorrow and should be able to get it lifted up as well.
