Support beams up

While the first beam was on the lowest part of the treehouse, so easy to put up with a small ladder, the rest of the beams needed more trickery.

Kai was there to help me test it out for strength ;)

               

Since I was working alone (and most of the treehouse has been put up by my own two hands), I needed a way to get these heavy PT doubled-up 2x10 beams up into the air. I ended up constructing a pulley system with ropes, tied off on a nearby fence once the beam was lifted into place. This way I could attach the bolts with the beam hanging right where it needed to be.
