This is just a tease of what's happening, but it's the best I can do right now...

The Booth framing is up:







Various components for the next phase of framing are either here or being installed. The spring isolators:





When all is said and done those springs will be able to carry our 6-ton ceiling with a good 4 tons of safety margin.

Insulation fill:



Hat Channel:



And the steel showed up. Here are the welders finalizing the joint between two pieces of W10x77 wide flange steel:



According to the head of the framing crew, in his 20+ years of building large residential estates in North Carolina, he's never seen such large steel in any of his plans. The beam that's being welded tips the scales at nearly 2-1/2 tons...which is just about the limit of the crane that came to deliver them!

More details this weekend, when I have a chance to blog!
