The sill from the north side of the house is being reused as the support or carry beam across the center of the house. This beam is supported by the partial concrete block wall and an angle iron. It will support the joists that will eventually run north/south in the house.
If you look closely, the nibbed scarf joint in the center isn't nice and clean. For those of you who know Martin, you will understand how much this bothered him. So after putting up the angle iron and the beam, he took the beam off again to fix the joint.
