West North corner beam added. Not an easy task. Ivan and Dana had to hand lift and install the beam. They carried it up a ladder and inserted it from the west wall. They climbed up ladders and moved it through the west wall. The single beam is 100 lbs each. They put four pieces in by the end of the day. It was hot and humid, but they kept going until the four pieces were added in. Next they nailed each piece to the next.
