It worked well, I think I would have done what they did at end and bring all of the trusses up at once. In reality I would have used a crane as it would have made this a one dayish job. I’m always amazed what areas people will choose to save money. In this case they bought a screw gun to put flooring in instead of saving money. I would have bought it too. Hard to believe $800-1000 is a huge difference for a project this size but to be fair I see these types of decisions made on much larger projects.

Naw, I worked my way through college as a pro-framer and I thought it was a brilliant idea. However, I would have craned these trusses in a heartbeat. I would have taken about an hour and the cost would have been less than $500.00 in most localities.

Great idea! This is a difficult task that I have done many times before with a framing crew of five men. The only criticism I have is that you should have used tie-down straps installed at an angle to protect the scaffolding from tipping. While the scaffold itself is plenty strong to hold the truss, it is the tipping force that you must be concerned about because it is a lot less than than any other force that would cause failure. And yes, I am a civil engineer who has done structural engineering. AND, I worked my way through college framing homes. In our area, the Phoenix metro valley, you can generally hire a crane to set trusses like yours for around $500 - $600. But in your case, there may not have been enough room to get a crane close enough to the building. Still, I would have craned this job because you would have been done in less than an hour. Still, for setting these trusses by hand, you came up with a genius idea. Great job!

From the framing studs to the Advantech flooring to the Zip sheathing to the BFS trusses, you guys and the vendors have done a great job arranging things in the right order to be ready to use. I think this episode shows the value of building a spacer jig to position the trusses - having a set of jigs would have probably cut the installation time in half.

The scaffold crane was/is brilliant! The last time I did a job like this, the trusses were delivered by a truck with an integrated crane, so unloading needed to be done Chop! Chop! Even though you had lots of time (‘cause your trusses were on the ground, not on a waiting truck) I think our unloading strategy would have served you well. After the gable-end truss (and 2 others) were installed and braced to each other, all the remaining trusses were hoisted and leaned/stacked against them. With all the hoisting done, moving the stacked trusses to their marks for install was much easier than man-handling them up off the floor.

Great progress on the installing the trusses from Builders First Supply. Good use of the scaffolding and the winch set up from Tractor Supply. Stepping it up on the Diamondback tool belt system. Remember it is always better to look good, than to be good! 🙂 Now that you are going to be 20 feet in the air and on the roof to starting the sheeting and shingling get yourselves some fall arrest gear. A friend of mine who is a roofer by trade for over 30 years fell off a roof a month ago and is in pretty bad shape. If one of you has an accident it will surely bring this project to a halt.

The trusses were set beautifully squareness evident from all angles. It was just very apparent the lack of temporary bracing. The swift Oklahoma winds came sweeping down the plains. (And they will anytime you attempt something like this.) The trusses all buckled and dominoed onto one another. It ended up taking down the entire structure.

@@qa1e2r4 They state in the video each truss is approximately 165 pounds. In order to exceed the rating of the winch or scaffolding, they would practically have to try and exceed the rating using mechanical leverage / advantage. While a crane probably would have been safer, there is still plenty of risk involved. Honestly, the safety violation I keep seeing that could be avoid in either approach, is a lack of a fall harness and lack of hard hats.

Right before you were 2/3 done with those truss lifts, you could have continued lifting them and rotating them . But you could have just leaned them all but the end truss up against the last truss you had secured to that point. Then, once you lifted the end truss and secured it, you could slide the trusses over and into position one by one . And that board you were using to brace them at the top ( which was a great way of doing that) would have helped you slide them over, if you see what I'm saying. Keep up the good work, guys. Looking good. And on the winch, why not take the hand crank off , grind the shaft end to fit a socket, and use a ratchet or impact drill to do the hard work ? Just an idea.

Came to say something similar… pre-stack at top level, adapt handle to a drill (slow speed… or better yet: get a 120v bumper winch & strap that on the scaffold), & 2 additional things: When setting your trusses have 1. a pre-cut guide piece on each end (that lays on top of the wall below… to space your truss over exactly the right distance, & 2. have similar ones for the top… they’ll sit across 2 trusses (previously set 1 & currently being set) but have a spacer that hangs down between trusses. There are other tricks (to get the truss spacers out more easily), but those are the main ones. Great video; love the amount of content! 👍🏼👍🏼

Every video I’m more impressed with all the work, what an accomplishment to have the main building structure all built and up by just the 3 of you. Loving every video and the progress! Thanks for the content 👍🏼

BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY! Reminds me of working with my dad and getting projects done. My dads favorite saying “you gotta be smarter than what your working with “

Well....love the video and the ingenuity but def worried for your safety. I can see using this method for your job from the standpoint of just getting it done. If I was comfortable working on scaffolds I would do such a one-time job in that fashion. The outcome was perfect. There will be attic floor joists right? Btw, I could tell Rad had some kind of experience and comfort level climbing around; I assumed it was in construction. I'll say it again: you guys are truly lucky to have one another. Please be careful. NOTHING is more important than safety.

I enjoy your videos. I spent a few years as a house painter using scaffolding and standing on the edge to raise and lower the sides. Using the crack between the deck boards is brilliant. Wish someone would have showed me that years ago. Good luck on the build.

Sure glad that scaffolding crane didn't tip over with all the turning and moving. Would've been a long ways down for Rad. Roof sheathing and shingling will be an adventure as well. Everybody stay safe!

This has got to me the most jankiest method to hoist those trusses up, but you know what, y'all did it and did it well. Appreciate y'all work well as a team. Rad's the man! 💪🏽 Keep up the commentary Paul, super insightful and fun to watch.

Clevis v Shackle- The main difference is in the working load limit and their applications; clevises are mostly used in farming towing applications, with shackles typically used in construction, lifting, and rigging. Also, a clevis pin is usually unthreaded and a shackle usually has a threaded pin or bolt.
