Week 2 Framing, part 3

On Sunday, the crew laid the beams that would support the porch. They were huge heavy things and it took all 10 guys on the crew to move them. They supported the beams with wood and carried them in twos, grunting and straining the whole way.








Then they set them on the piers.













By afternoon, the porch was coming along nicely.













And they had finished the interior walls and most of the exterior siding. Here's how it looked by the time they quit work on Sunday.
