Last Saturday Kevin, Dave Kleschold and Joel Bawcum installed a 500 pound, 24 foot-long beam in our kitchen. This monstrosity was installed in place of a load-bearing wall we took out to enlarge the kitchen.
The first step to getting the beam in the house was to load it onto two wagons, one on each end.

They then wheeled it through the temporary wall obstacle course.

From there, they lifted it onto two six foot ladders. By slowing adding 2X4s on top of the ladder they raised the beam, where it currently rests on two 4X6 beams.

It was an amazing accomplishment! Well done boys!
