Thank you to all your good friends who helped you. ❤😊 Have a nice week!

[@Step-n-Wolf]

Beam me up Scotty!

[@sarahschlosser1203]

The guys helping you have some skills. Always nice to have friends like that!

[@QuietCottage]

I waited all week for this episode. It was everything I expected short of the helo doing the lifting!! This was terrific. Those beams are going to be awesome to view when these rooms are complete. I am adding praise for the guys who helped out on this beam lift project. Holy Smokes. This took some real talent for the planning and the doing. Congratulations on successfully placing the beams!!! Now, I wonder what the roof framing will look like???????

[@mablemullen5190]

Simply awesome and scary to watch this beautiful home take shape!! You are my favorite family to watch!!

[@xlqr]

better than a bowl of icecream ❤

[@sharonb.9128]

I‘ve been watching you build this mansion board by board! Other channels are building one room cabins in more time than it’s taking you to cut, frame and build this entire home alone! How are you able to do this? All these intricate designs and builds? It can’t be a fake timeline because your kids are still kids! Bravo sir and family.

[@Kajuniter]

Just two extra helpers ? That was a task to accomplish. As usual the Kids made it look easy. Thanks for sharing your excitement.

[@dionh70]

1) I would have recommended that you extended the excavator bucket as well as lowered it to lower the inertial moment (some people would have said center of gravity) of the entire machine to reduce the effect of the glue-lam beams hanging off the sky-crane; 2) I'm sure that Jacob is aware that the rails on the scissorlift collapse for low-clearance doorways. At least, every scissorlift I've ever operated had them.

[@michaelburns9172]

Sir you and your bad ass wife have given your children an experience they will never forget. Think of the stories that they will tell. God Bless you all .

[@Codger2015]

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together? Awesome job.

[@kcarrot2002]

I say it almost every week, you guys amaze me. This week is spectacular!!!! ❤

[@kwarts]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="263">4:23</a> Last week you talked about medieval castles, now you start using yor backhoe for something like Jousting😂. You live in the wrong age. I love it. Kind regards Christiaan

[@johnbellrose9165]

Mission accomplished awesome work on getting all the ridge beams installed

[@johnbellrose9165]

The chain hoist a stroke of genius

[@russellstarr9111]

Loved the musical accompaniment to your update. It's good to have excellent friends. Great job!

[@Codger2015]

Jacob, this was an impressive tactical move of those monstrous beams using your very long skyhook fork.

[@lorenmeyer5290]

How Awesome! Jacob you are amazing builder! God bless y'all!

[@southron49]

on the smaller beams, the guy with the light colored hood on looked a lot like George Younce, the famous bass singer for the cathedral quarter, although your friend was probably taller. i am glad you had eli engineering everything so that it would all fit like a glove. i noticed "sweet petunia" checking that all would come in under budget! may God bless and keep yall...............g

[@aletmeyer8514]

Wow,wow,wow & another wow. That was once again amazing❤

[@estellaknox9285]

WOW 😲 that's some big beams but it looks amazing I am not questioning about why this not done I love everything being done 👍

[@klazyy641]

If nothing else, this was a testament to the effectiveness of your welds on the "Skyhook" as well as to y'all's planning and assistance from the wee helpers (and musicians). Well done to all and thanks for a super episode to blend into Super Bowl!

[@tinajohnson4199]

Would have loved to seen the musicians.

[@countrylifetales2700]

A lot could have gone wrong but, everything went right. That is going to be one awesome house.

[@eduardomontes1276]

In some countries, when you reach the highest point of construction, they raise the national flag. I am amazed at the exact way you work, you look like a Swiss watch. 👍👏👏💪💪

[@tinajohnson4199]

A flag would be awesome.

[@denniswray470]

Very innovative in the way you placed those beams.

[@ShadowMoonFarms]

Thanks for taking us along

Wow, wow and wow.... amazing work... keep going safely....I am waiting patiently for the completed house which, by the Grace of the Most High, will be an absolute pleasure to behold... good luck and as always... God bless 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@SpaceForce2019]

I really enjoy the problem solving you come up with to make things easier and safe. But my gosh those beams are going to be beautiful with the posts when you're all done. Love the mass of the wood and height of the vaulted ceiling. Wow.. Stay safe!

[@douglasrenkema]

I hope you guys know how amazing you are.!! That was awesome😊😊😊

[@judyporche9125]

You are right! I’ve never seen beams installed like that 😁

[@carolinabeier]

Well done Jacob and friends!!!! amazing job

[@hectorrodriguez4821]

Amazing Grace to got Good friends,A Good friend it's better than gold, congratulations on your Big accomplishments done 👍

[@adelbertlundberg7411]

I did think you would use your scissor lifr, but I didn't know that you would have to get a more sturdy lift. It was a sight to watch, I know you guys are over the moon. Or maybe over the beams. It is slowly shaping up. My construction hat is off to congratulation what you guys have accomplished. Looking forward to next week video.

[@Teetles_807]

Wow. What a crew you had helping you. That was amazing. Time for an ice cream party! I am so blown away by your ingenuity and hard work that I have suggested your channel to all my favorite sites. WWOG deleted my comment, but the others have shared it.

[@aboulderlifeoffgrid]

Wow, hey, that's awesome! Thanks, Teetles!

[@arleenfotiu6095]

That's a beautiful piece of work!

[@melvintacha1101]

Moved a lot of big stuff in my life, very impressing

[@HighDesertRob]

Like they always say, when it doubt, keep adding scissor lifts till it all works out! haha. That's a saying right? Yeah, pretty sure that's how it goes.

[@randybecnel4501]

What a tremendous feat!!!

[@johnbellrose9165]

Congratulations on a job well done

[@OFFGRID_Trucker]

Very nice work. Great progress. KUDO's to your friends. Awesome drone and camera shots\angles.

[@johnbellrose9165]

Words don't work very well with how you put that crane together. I Salute you sir

[@michaelburns9172]

I agree with what that man said . I live for that high blood pressure stuff .

[@aboulderlifeoffgrid]

😆

[@deborahratcliff8234]

[@waynebenge3886]

Very good job.

[@jameschupp2230]

Masterfully Done! But you might want to Strap Down the Tall Beam again, to prevent Racking in the wind!

[@markbutterfield2189]

That wa a beautiful piece of work you guys, loved it.

[@roberthughes2665]

I have a much smaller tractor loader backhoe, and I extend my hoe when I need counter balance..out the back or off to the side for tipping over sideways

[@mikeyoung5211]

You must have a muscle person picking up the other end

[@marywright969]

wow xx

[@deborahcopeland4922]

Wow! Awesome work and the beams are beautiful. The other elephant in the room is how much did those beams cost?😊

[@aboulderlifeoffgrid]

😱 a lot 😅

[@jaymondy]

Silly question. Did you make sure the direction of top/bottom was correct?

[@aboulderlifeoffgrid]

Yes, we made sure. Good question. Thanks 🙂

[@heikoj9646]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@Codger2015]

So is the long exterior extension of the second beam for getting hay into the barn?

[@aboulderlifeoffgrid]

😁 it could be

[@steveramirez1654]

👍👍

[@tinareddick]

Did your helpers like the chains?

[@aboulderlifeoffgrid]

I don't know. They never said anything 😅

[@johanneskalinski9950]

👍👌

[@alliewolf71]

❤😊❤😊❤😊

[@mikeyoung5211]

Does the roof beams attach to the main beam or above it

[@aboulderlifeoffgrid]

They attach above. That way, the beams will be exposed.

[@mikeyoung5211]

I thought you were going to call in a crane,

[@aboulderlifeoffgrid]

No sir. This was way more affordable. Thanks 🙂
