I started my morning by picking up a 15'-8" (legit) 8x8 reclaimed oak beam and setting it on a couple sawhorses. Oak weighs around 45 lbs/ft^3. So...15.67 X .67 X .67 X 45 = 313-ish pounds. Not a crazy fun way to start a Monday, but aside from that, this is going to be a fun project: another reclaimed wood mantel and fireplace surround. I got one leg hollowed out and the inset cleat installed in the mantel beam today; I'll have everything dry-fit by lunchtime tomorrow and if everything goes like I hope it does, fully installed by the end of the day.
