Kitchen Beams

Despite the week of rainy weather, work continues on our renovation.  The kitchen is having concrete poles replaced with steel beams. 


This gentleman is operating a very large crane.



It's a very tall piece of equipment that is being used to help install the 480 lb steel beams into the kitchen. 


The beam was loaded through a hole in the roof.  It's held by a steel cable as the other workmen attach it to the ceiling. 


You can see them at the top.  There were a total of 6 installed. 
The steel beam in the middle will allow the concrete poles to be removed.
