After finishing up the plumb and line of the first floor we started climbing the walls on Monday and setting the big beams in preparation for joist on the second floor.

The Kitchen has an enormous beam that is set flush in the ceiling and it was spectacular and crazy for us to move it. Even with four men we had to roll it on stickers and use leverage to get it up onto the wall and rock it into position between the center partition wall and the outside staircase wall.

Here I am BEAMING with joy… get it?

When the walls were just wee things that couldn’t yet stand.
