This is one of the smaller main fore and aft support beams. Our engineer called out a beam built up of 2"x12" PT pine (4 boards, spliced together)

This is the end of the built-up beam being set on the piling...

This PSL beam is an oddball size. It's 5" wide and 16" deep and 14' long.

A good pic of the big octagon from the seawall...

Here's Charlene standing in front of the door we put in Sunday.

The crane operator just wanted to see how high he could get it, I guess. :-)

The big octagon from the street. You can tell it's an octagon better, now.

Another view from the back...or front, depending upon you inclination.

This gives you an idea of how high the lot is. I'm standing on the seawall here.

This was the last of the PSL (engineered) beams being set. Wayne is trying to figure out how to fix an "oops".

Wayne (my master carpenter) on the right. His helper, Rick is setting straps on one of the beams here.
