This is the steel tension ring for the cupola that will be in the center of the main living space

Today was a big day.  All the engineered steel from FormWorks arrived on a big semi truck.  This was nearly 3 tons of rolled I-beam arches, the Cupola ring (see above) and all the brackets, bolts and rebar insert tubes.  The delivery truck could not make it down our driveway so had to park out on the Bay Road.  With the help of some great friends, we shifted the steel onto a smaller trailer, then moved it to a staging area down by our 5th-wheel trailer.  There isn’t any room for it up at the building site until after the slab is poured.  This means we will have to move it all again.  Everybody worked really hard shifting the steel and Beckett was there to help control traffic on the Bay road.  Our undying gratitude goes out to Anthony, Julia, Aaron, Steve, Therese, Meredith and Beckett for all their hard work today. Special Thanks to Anthony and Julia for loaning us their flatbed trailer.
