Today we finished installing the loft log main beam and the three support posts. The 5 long loft logs and 5 short loft logs will be supported by this beam on 4 foot centers. The support posts shown are placed directly over the glue laminated main beam in the basement. The support posts are also directly over the three 6 inch by 6 inch posts that support the glue lam beam. Tomorrow will be spent installing cap logs on both end walls of the house, then stripping the cap logs for the sides that will be installed after all of the loft logs have been fitted. It gets to look more and more like a house every day.
