Home Renovation Project: Back Patio Deck: Beam Bracket
Progress on the back patio deck project is at a standstill right now. Everything is done with the exception of the 2nd floor doors and the handrail/stairs. The material for the handrail/stairs is on backorder and the doors cannot go in until we replace the wood beam supporting the load over our family room... so we can notch the beam to cut in the door for our master bedroom. I've been working with Baxton's structural engineer, another contractor (Baxton has deferred on the steel beam installation), and some drafting skills of some friends (Dave and Tim) to get the beam and supporting brackets drawn up for fabrication. I think we finally have the design finalized (click to enlarge):
