I know you're extremely proud of your only son Steven, he is one-of-kind & a wonderful blessing!❤ I lost my only son to a heat stroke on football field 2004 - David, he is genuinely missed. Always & Forever I grieve my dear son... It warms my heart to watch your outstanding honorable kind sweet God fearing jewel of a son....❤

[@robertbutler8004]

In Australia, that homemade beam would not pass the pub test, no insurance company would insure it, and no Cancel would sign off on it without an Engineer's certification. And that's a good thing.

Steven, Stan & Papa Danny proud of what you accomplished so far, really starting to have definition & you can see everything coming in place now!!!! Love the doors & windows you choose. Wow, won't be long now. 😊

Steven is so talented, you to Danny. That house will be a beautiful place for Steven ,and kids to gather around the table for many a gatherings. Stan is a good man, enjoy watching him talk. Ya'll had a good old time at the concert Friday night. Thank ya'll for all you do for us.❤

[@robertbutler8004]

@debbie.d,b would you be saying the same thing if you were a Structural Engineer? I doubt it.

[@gregoryjohnson7706]

Needs a doubled up 25 ft by 24inch lvl

[@Snowbird22]

Good afternoon, Danny Steven and Luke. It's looking really good you guys are doing an awesome job

[@lynnburns7663]

Great video.

[@pamelavargas6811]

I enjoy when you speed up videos..I just have Time to watch very long videos

[@ForensicCats]

12:00 you should have staggered the top 2 by board to the opposite end and not have that center piece on its own. Further, you should bolt these together and not just nail

[@robertbutler8004]

@ForensicCats it should not have been made in the first place without a Structural Engineers certification.

[@cma8165]

Wow guys, you never seize to amaze me!!! What an outstanding team of excellent carpenters you guys are!!!

[@pyhead9916]

Nails are not enough, you need bolts through all the boards!

[@chrisstanford3652]

Excellent built-up beam🤗

[@Helene2367]

It's good to see from different angles because otherwise it looks real scary to the viewer. Don't know how heavy that beam is either but seems like Steven could handle it pretty well. Really like this video Danny, thank's for showing it. I like things short and sweet personally. No time to stress 👍

[@tandemcompound2]

interesting. my preference would be for a solid 6 by 12 Douglas fir beam cut from a log. Cost and availability aside you did a great job with a laminate beam and even more impressive dead lifting it up into place.

[@geraldwenn9698]

Geez you made that look hard and dangerous getting the beam up there.

[@TheNorthernmunky]

Wow!!! That was awesome! Strong as a bull!

[@joyce9523]

I KNEW STEVEN COULD BUILD BIRDHOUSES ,NEW ALL ALONG HE COULD BUILD A HOUSE/BIG 🏠😊👍👍

[@MrSki-tyvm]

Now I have lifted a few beams longer and heavier but i also used smarts. Build a temporary catwalk flush with top of walls and built beams at the hieght then rolled them over. I found building them up where they will be placed is the easiest and actually just as fast as lifting them up with zero dangers.

[@debbieriddle9429]

Looking really nice!

[@amyjo8941]

Exciting video and I really loved the background music you chose for it, Danny…great🎉

[@cumberlandquiltchic1]

You should put link to original video. If it’s new person, they wouldn’t know which of the 5 or so channels to go to, etc.

[@southernideas6175]

good idea

[@mattwernecke2342]

I have to do this alone. Do you have any ideas on how to raise it?

[@Snowbird22]

Your are a wonderful pops Danny

[@bryanstrickland4415]

How much weight could a beam like that hold if you were gonna use it for a support for a lift/hoist?

[@bonnieland5981]

Goodmorning

[@Snowbird22]

Good morning, Bonnie land.

[@24June91]

Great video. But do not take that kind of risk. There are ways to use leverage to raise that beam without relying on pure muscle mass and a sketchy ladder. The big man was literally seconds and millimeters from severe injury or death. Not Necessary to take these kinds of risks.

[@joyce9523]

KOOL 👍

[@pyhead9916]

That 5 foot section on the end ruined the integrity of the beam!

[@rogerhodges7656]

I would love to see a structural engineer weigh in. This is big and it is heavy but it is not as strong as viewers think that it is. Also, it looks like there is going to be a second floor so there will be floor loads on it as well.

[@robertbutler8004]

@rogerhodges This beam would not be allowed anywhere in Australia without a structural engineer's signature. Without that engineer certification certificate, no insurance company would insure it. I agree with everything you said. and yet these viewers think it was great.

[@h2s-i9o]

@@robertbutler8004 its not a beam its not irc compliant, just order triple lvl microlam

[@danielsullivan9865]

It’s probably going to fail in deflection. It’s only 11 1/2 inches deep. Should be at least 20 inches. If they laminate sheet metal strips in between with through bolts. It may make it. Allowed is L over 360 floor load. = .8 in or 1.2in if a ceiling load.

[@h2s-i9o]

@@danielsullivan9865 its not continuous

[@drostly3220]

;One little thing could add some strength at those mid butt points would be to keyway them, at least a bit..

[@Snowbird22]

That's why God gave me all those muscles.

[@dwood4453]

This guy must be from Alabama. He gave himself away when he said “ at righ air”. 😝 lol.

[@brendajordan63]

Love ya'll

[@Snowbird22]

Stan the man !!!

[@pyhead9916]

That is not a good structural beam!

[@robertbutler8004]

@pyhead9916 agreed and yet these people impressed the hell out of most of these viewers who have no experience at all in building codes loads or anything else.

[@JM-kn9dh]

@@robertbutler8004i have an idea of why but can you elaborate on why its not a good structural beam?

[@danielmoore7039]

❤💪

[@pyhead9916]

You need to bond those pieces together using bolts otherwise, you just wasted wood.

Say what you all want. That bean is not going anywhere. It will definitely hold up over time.

[@danromeo6571]

I used to do stupid stuff like this when I was younger as well…

[@peetky8645]

that beam could fall and kill someone. use a better ladder and someone on the other side of the wall with a rope to arrest a drop.

[@brainjingo7491]

The worst and most dangerous beam I ever seen.

[@np6143]

Dangerous stunts lifting a homemade beam. Might work great in a garage but i wouldnt trust it as part of second floor system

[@MrSki-tyvm]

Thats a big boy, farm boy strong and that wouldn't be smart to mess with him.

[@Davem-f6k]

That beam is sus. Multiply LVL would have worked much better
