Master Framing

Since the foundation was already done, the next thing was to set the steel beams. I had to get a crane for the job.

The beam is gingerly placed on the column and scaffold

Notice the left column not yet in place. The blocks on the scaffolding appear to be a solid perch for the beam. While leveling the beam later, it became unbalanced and fell down to the slab. It took the rest of the day to jack it by hand and manual hydraulics back up. Write it off to Murphy's law.
