The steel beam goes up

This is a 7m long beam we had engineered. The original plans had a timber post holding up the left mezzanine floor which would have got in the way and annoyed us greatly! As far as I could find out the beam weighs about 35 kg per meter. The carpenter and his mate got this 245 kg lump down the driveway on the little black trolley you can just see in the foreground, then lifted it into place with a manual hoist.
