The roof beam replacement is causing a bit of a delay. Eric has an engineer working on the appropriate sized/configured Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL)s, which are apparently stronger than wood. The split beam was removed last week so the roof is being propped up with floor jacks on every floor down to the basement, which is now holding up pouring of the slab. This is not a big deal, as the beam needs to be replaced correctly. Alternatively, we could just take the roof off build up from here, but I think that would be too much of a stretch for us financially right now...
You wonder why Eric doesn't post? That's because every other word would be F$%#. F*&% this, F#$& that, etc. Construction is a trying job. Have you seen Lost in Translation? Eric equates it to that, but without Bill Murray...
