Hi
I have put in for planning permission for a loft conversion which needs the ridge line raising and having about a 4.5m x 203mm rsj installing there. Any ideas as to how the hell we can get it up there without using a crane (which isnt really an option due to location) would be gratefully received. I have heard it is possible to have more than one beam and bolt them together, but i am presuming this would have a structural engineer rubbing his hands and dollar signs in his eyes!
