Lifting the second bent

Up goes the second bent at the back of the house. The center post here is designed to frame the bedroom at the left and the hallway/bathroom/utility area at right. The beam will also act as a girt for the floor joists, and hence will determine the height of the floor. The posts are 11'6'' and will support the rafter plate (the beam that holds up the roof). Note the third center bent still lying on the ground.
