One Man Roof Truss Raising

Installing cathedral ceiling roof trusses by myself. Span is 26 ft and center is 20 ft. The winch is a harbor freight 10 dollar unit.

[@jamespatton3500]

Pure genius I'm about to start on my house thanks to you I'm no longer worried about how I'm going to get the trusses up thank you for sharing this

[@tjinnes]

I was soooo relieved when you got that truss over the top plate! Great effort and smart work. I have not seen a drill powered winch like that one before. Looks from the comments that you built the trusses yourself too. That's awesome. Cheers!

[@Odisovic]

A beautiful example of a man looking for a way to make a difference instead of calling constantly for help from everyone around him, more people looking for ways instead of people looking for excuses ;)

[@d1027j]

The mother of invention! Where there is a will, there is a way! Great job.

I love seeing a good plan come together! Good job, man.

[@dennismadigan2023]

necessity is the mother of invention. Great job! I love working by myself too.

[@czar89031]

this guy is very much concentrated in his work, he is an excellent builder, i would do the same like him, beautiful video, i need more equipment to help me do the job itself,. thanks for the concept idea a one man job.

[@bobsmyth7590]

Awsome !! You Rock . I'm building my house at 66 yrs old- by myself- Had help with rafters & steel roof- that's it--- so I can appreciate your occomplishment.. Looks like YOU built the rafters too- hood job ! I put up 21' 2×10 rafters (20) alone- needing a new L hip and other issues - alone- kicked my butt- Keep on Rockin'

[@butchlatham4676]

wow great job guys, it took us 10 years to build ours only we worked full time daily. Thanks for video

[@richyearle007]

Where there is a will, there is always a way.Good work.

[@GARRY3754]

You are right . I wonder how I framed up some additions. Faith and cut carefully. But inspiration goes a long way especially nowadays.

[@marvinmartion1178]

I've done it myself! I'm 66 and I can out work most 20 somethings! Love the work, tired of the asses who hire you! People are so completely rude and insulting these days!

[@thebeardedone1225]

Where there's a will there's a way. I've had the pleasure of building several houses completely by myself, and you would be surprised at the ingenuity you'll come up with.

[@nc3826]

Congrats, any photos of you cutting down the trees for the lumber?

[@ants925]

I think you’re very resourceful and ingenious, good job.

Impressive, much respect for him.

[@timbylander7015]

Well done. Its amazing what you can do by yourself if you use your head more than your back. Of course, a good ack helps too.

[@wallywally3738]

I really like your hard hat and back friendly movements. :)

[@davidquirozm]

Wow, very smart job style. Great job!

[@richardsummers8805]

This guy is awesome. I'm amazed.

[@dougdorite3581]

Thanks for giving me some ideas I'm going to be trussing a house soon without help

[@andytran4090]

Genius! I'm speechless watching your video. I'm gonna build a shed 12x20 by myself; spent hours looking for ways to put up trusses without rental heavy crane. Your video saves me the sleepless nights. Million of Thanks to you sir. If you could, can you please share how you stand those walls?

[@robertappleby4734]

Kudos to this guy.

[@robjanson7282]

Terrific video....thanks for sharing!!

[@gorrozolla]

You are a fellow after my own heart. I don't mind teamwork, but love the challenge of getting things done alone. There is nothing I can't do without a couple clamps and these two hands. Loved the one man technique.

[@tjinnes]

I agree. I like working out how to do things without heavy machinery. Lifting trusses and beams, standing poles etc. Great fun and a challenge for the mind and body. We like to do our things with "family power." We use ropes, ramps, braces etc and do things by hand.

[@julier1080]

As a Tomboy who grew up alone, I learned how to get things done by myself. Leverage and inclined planes, along with the power of winches, can accomplish almost anything if you think it through. The problem with getting help is that person has to be on the same wavelength as you about how it is done, or they can slow you down and/or be a safety issue.

[@MJ-iy4fb]

Genius move. I love it.

[@dj6769]

Excellent ! One suggestion lace the cable through the top braces choke the bottom the same way and it pulls it on top without man handling it to get it up. I like the drill method!

[@utah133]

You can do many things single-handedly. It just takes a bit longer and some ingenuity. My farmer great uncle moved entire buildings by himself.

[@Football5198]

Many “builders” are lost without equipment to do the heavy lifting. Kudos to this gentleman.

[@petert6028]

Hats off to you brother. Good to see I'm not the only one that tackles tough jobs.

[@jayejaycurry5485]

Damn, that's cleaver. I also noticed you engineered your own scaffolding. Not bad!

[@aubreyaub]

That is veary cleaver.

[@trex7040]

Necessity is the mother of invention. Good job!

[@PeaceDeath.]

Excellent. I respect people who can make all! Уважаю людей которые все сами могут сделать!

[@BSpotBuilds]

We raised 8-10 in a day it took 2 weeks to frame the roof with the truss building taking most of the time. I designed the trusses based on a warren truss. They did come out very solid and stiff.

[@calholli]

if you would have just stabbed your top up first, then walked the bottom up the latter, you could have done it in one day.... also, paying a young, capable helper on the cheap would have been much better for you and the kid could have made some money.. this was hard to watch

[@BSpotBuilds]

-- My goal is to spend as little as possible not to hire help.

[@user-ul7vd4ly2d]

Good job!!! What is the span between trusses along the wall? What is the height of the truss? What are the dimensions of your house? Thanks.

[@BSpotBuilds]

Truss span is 24 feet they are 24 inches on center along the wall, the center wall is 16 feet high and the outer wall is 8 feet. The house is basically 54 feet long and 40 feet wide.

[@buddystark9333]

Fantastic!

[@treetop5752]

I've commented on a few of your vids, I would love to see the finished house sometime. Thanks have a good day

I would love to see the finished house too. We are stalled at about 85%. Thanks for your comments.

[@Steadfastly7]

[@g.r.4853]

When you have to work alone, you can figure out how to do it. I raised all the walls to my 24 x 36 foot 10 foot ceiling garage alone using a extension ladder and the overhead door headers also. Stand back and think it over.

I think with his smarts that adds up to at least two normal guys working 👍

What's your normal?? This is slow. If you had two guys with half a brain on either side they could get it up there and nailed off. Still respect this dude sending it alone🤘🤘

i liked the video showing that it can be done by a single person.. im about to do a similar job.. i swear, the more realistic a video is the more the trolls have something negative to say... if you know how to do it? why are you watching a video on how to do it? because you are a troll... i loved the video... thanks for posting..

Ive been building houses by myself for almost a year now. 5 years prior experience. It can be done, just got to use the noggin!

[@g.r.4853]

Nice job! Built a 3 car garage myself and understand the problem of the trusses. I wonder if it would have been easier and safer to somehow hook the cable to the bottom cord? But sitting back and looking, I cannot determine how without the cable becoming a problem at the ridge board and immensely complicated plus the out of balance concern.

[@saddlebroncSilver]

I think just you and your wife has build all it, that's right?? , so great job, I saw some picture from your blog, amazing job . cheers =)

Well done sir! But I'm old and not so tough, I'll be using a 12 vdc power winch to attempt to accomplish a similar task. I plan to raise (and install) a pre-built (on the ground) 8x10 metal covered shed roof. Wish me well. Thanks. Ron

[@andrewhoward7200]

[@randmayfield5695]

I know it may seem petty, but the thing that always gets me about some videos the lack of eye protection when working with any tool and especially power tools. Have almost lost my eyes twice if it wasn't for eye protection. Both times were simple "That could never happen to me" accidents but they did. Spanner wrench and bungee cord. Just saying.

[@MrToolmaker23]

Nicely done. Couple of cold ones at the end of the day; shower; sleep like a baby; repeat.
