Concrete & Central Beam in Place

On Saturday they poured the concrete floor, filling in the old sunken living room pit, and added the new entryway floor and footings. Today Charlie, Adam, and Tim erected the central beams and supporting posts on top of that floor and its footings. Adam & Tim fill in the studs. The insulation will be blown in on Friday from the front entryway.

Sparks fly as Tim grinds off the extra support.
