Roof Glulam Ridge and Valley Beams






Friday 2/29, we had Schaedler crane (based out of Toledo) dispatch a 15 ton boom arm truck from their Saline/Tecumseh yard to help us in setting the Douglas Fir Glulam's - 3 main ridge beams and 2 valley beams. They also raised the 26' of fireplace framing to it's resting place on the first floor so that the ridge beam perpendicular to the main could be set into a pocket built into it. The other end of this beam attaches with a heavy duty steel hanger plate with huge bolts (3/4" x 9") that we had fabricated at ALRO Metals Plus. Unfortunately, we didn't get any pictures of the valley beams being installed becuase the camera died, so next time we are out on the property, we will get pictures of them.
