Who let that big beam in here? Every building project seems to have its unexpected developments and this is one of ours. The building committee had worked to create a basement deep enough that our tallest members wouldn't have to duck when retrieving things from it. We thought we had 7.5-foot clearance in the basement, but no one mentioned the depth of the big beam running down the center! The beam is obviously important for supporting the structure above and can't be changed, so we will just have to remember to duck when going downstairs. At least we will have a useable basement, which we didn't have before.
