The second beam goes into the space above where the old windows and front door were. When the living room is expanded, this beam will be inside the room. It needs to be installed now where the front wall of the house used to be in order to hold up the roof structure. The crane didn't have to lift as high as the garage ridge beam, but it had to reach further from the street. The crane can extend to 50 ft. and it took all of that to get the beam where it was supposed to go. Once again, it was a perfect fit.
Before putting this beam in place it was routered and sanded. I did the sanding myself. This beam is 6x12 and 22 ft. long, which was a lot of sanding. I'm very pleased with the result.
There will be another beam of the same size in the living room, but that one is purely decorative. It won't be holding up anything, and it will be installed later.
