Metal Frame

The beams needed to placed just right to make sure that the bolts would fit the pre-drilled holes.
Then the washer and nut go on to hold the beam in place. The wind has been the biggest challenge during this stage.


We needed the help from the John Deere to lift the beams, and from friends. We were grateful to them that they were so willing.


Four by four wood needed to be placed between the braces to help it not to sag. These will be taken out when the exterior sheeting is secured in place.


Russell made this arm for the loader to help place the beams.


A few long 2 by 4 needed to be used to help until the other metal pieces were placed.


Russell is making sure everything is plum before moving on.


We were putting up the cross bars in order for the insulation to have something to rest on. The scissor lift was a lifesaver.


The next step will be the insulation and exterior metal sheeting. So far, so good.
