Ceiling Beams

Today most of the ceiling beams went up.  These are 6" x 10" white fir some as long as 24'.  Later adobes will be laid up between them. These beefy and beautiful beasts are really going to add a dramatic look to all the rooms.  It's hard to believe that all 20 were lifted into place in one day.  Of course there are a lot of small ones still to be installed and all of them have to be secured with steel straps to the bond beams.  Then the parapets and decking can be added.  The windows are in the on-site storage unit so as soon as we get the roof on we can install the doors and windows and make her weatherproof.
