Floor Beams Go Into Place

Our friends Nadine & Greg came over to help with our treehouse Sunday. There's a lot of heavy beams to put into place so we need all the help we can get. I think they're kidding about working for food . . . maybe not.

To reach the floor level of our family's treehouse Royce and Greg had to put the scaffold up. After all 15' is a long ways up in the air when you are trying to put floor beams into place.

Greg hurries to get up on top of the scaffold as Royce carries the beam up the stairs. When he reaches scaffold level he hands it up to Greg.

Nadine's ready to help Greg in case the beam is a little too much for him to handle. Now all Greg has to do is to get it all the way onto the scaffold without it falling off the scaffold taking him with it!

Royce isn't sure he really wants to be that high up without a safety net. I have to ask this question again... What is a man, that is afraid of heights, doing building a 15' treehouse?

Now all that's left to do is to put the beam in place. However, I have a feeling that is easier said than done ...

Yeah guys just get the beam in place . . it isn't cut too long is it?

Looks like the problem is solved. If all else fails. . . get out the sledge hammer. You have to look at this challenge positively, atleast the board wasn't cut too short this time.

And the beam is finally in place. Only 8 more to go . . . or is it 9? Well I'll think about that tomorrow.
