In order to set one of the perpendicular ridge beams, the fireplace framing needed to be set. It was kind of nerve wracking to see this huge box lifted up with the boom arm and nylon straps. We were "holding our breath" for a few minutes until it made its way to the first floor, was leveled and braced. Rick, one of the guys on the building crew must have drawn the short straw, as he had the "high wire" job on climbing up into the framing to help set the ridge beam on the fireplace "pocket" side as well as to release the nylon straps from their spot in, around and through the top of the box frame.
