A milestone has been reached. The final steel (#3) is now in position. Today the padstone on the outside wall was cemented in and the steel beam hoisted into position. It’s been wheeled into position using the custom built trolley (see inset) and then manhandled and hoisted using a chain hoist into position.

A chain hoist is hanging from a large piece of wood which is in turn supported by the ceiling joists which have acro props under them
