Looking Good!!

I get a kick out of the dog!! They have a built-in excuse for not helping out.. Lack of opposable thumbs... LOL

I'm looking forward to seeing more progress..

Once again another fine piece of work.

But I do have one questions, perhaps I just missed it, but you have a footer on the one side and support in the middle, where is the other sides footer?

I figured you would pour for anchor bolts to hold the I-beams. Looks realy good, look foward to seeing it done.

I haven't put them in yet, I was afraid they would be in the way when I installed the longer I-beams.

Ordered my I-beams today (should be here tomorrow). 2- 25 footer's and 2 ten's. They are structural steel beams. They are rated to support 4,000 pounds each in the center. I had the pro's to figure it for me, so there would be "less" drama. (hopefully). I still welcome any feedback from any, and all peeps. The numbers are...W 10" X 22# A-36 STRUCTURAL STEEL BEAM, 10.17" Height X .240" Web x 5.75" Flange Yard. Weight... = 550 pounds apiece. My metal guy knows his s#@t.

I was mulling over steel beams for mine ,but then I realized I would have to drill for all the decking. What are you going to do?

Some drilling, but I plan on putting wood runners in between the I-beams.

I-beams came in today. Hauling two 25 foot beams on my 16' trailer wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Here's some pics of us installing the first beam. We used a high-lift jack to lift one end of the beam onto the support, then I pushed it with the tractor half way. Prob. not the safest way to do it, but it worked.
