Raising the Roof in 1 day

See John Bryson and crew of J.M Bryson add a second floor to this New England ranch home.

[@shawnkim4598]

That is some good prep work a lot of calculations!

[@dockerydesigns]

Holy crow that was amazing! All pieces done in advance I expect, and very well done indeed!

[@barryrietze9403]

Jason is getting ready to build a new home for my wife and yours truly in Niceville, Florida. Moving to Niceville from Louisville, Kentucky to be closer to our older daughter. Working with Jason has been a pleasure. I was taken back when I found this video on KZbin. Small world we live in knowing our builder is on KZbin sharing one of his project with everyone.

[@TheRealAmythyst]

I started to cry because those people were so blessed and lucky to have so many people being able to do that in such a small amount of time if we have more men like that trust and believe you will be making money hand over foot at the same time people would be able to afford to live in Better Homes God bless you

[@GUSTAV1CC]

awesome job! Looks like they did a bunch of the work ahead of time...

[@carrieshayne89]

Many hands make light work. Wow!

[@dr.m-beenzunamwiinganakazw9106]

Prep work was done before hand... This is for people who already understand remodeling

[@TheVerticaldimension]

We see comments , from people who don't know what they are talking about. What I see, it is an entrepreneur who is caring for is customer and make sur job is less invasive as possible to the home owner. What need to be understand is that a lot of work been done that we don't see on the video. All the joist for the floor we're done before that day, I feel secur that they screw all the hold joinst which hold the first floor ceiling to the new one which prévent damage.Also Wall we're prebuilt. His procedure allow minimal time keeping the house open to rain damage.

[@gagnonconsulting]

Thanks for the support David, though I personally cannot take credit for the work, only the video! The actual job was performed in the manner you suggested by John Bryson and crew of Attleboro, MA. Their website is at www.JMBryson.com

[@ndleinahaystack]

+Richard Gagnon good job brother!!!! I guess people don't realize that's why there's a such thing as code inspection to make sure the house doesn't fall down the next day or anytime after that. I'd feel safe living there and I'm on the construction industry.

Very efficient use of good weather. Hope they looked into the foundation before adding a second story though.

It's not a ranch home. That's a cape.

[@fctryoffetsh39]

Well they did that quick

[@NS-gk6wh]

How did you do that?

[@ashleighortiz406]

Watching this video reminds me of the clip from family guy, where they kept destroying the Amish house and the Amish kept rebuilding it.

[@WVgirl1959]

Wow

[@MirellaFrye]

This is amazing! I didn't know you could transform a one floor home into a two floor home. I would have never imagined.

[@plips71755]

They do it every day and have for centuries. Not exactly new. But I have seen it done using a pallet lift truck (lifts and trusses, sheets plywood, boxes of shingles, etc) to a roof or use of a crane to do the same. A friend had her’s done..ordered a prefab built in a factory no waste etc already sheathed etc and was lifted by crane on top of the 1st floor and then hurricane tied into the original structure. All the same lumber and joinery, etc but better, more accuracy because in the factory it was covered and everything was done to very exact specs by accurate machines. They can work year round no weather issues. And when they get to the job site it goes on fast so less chance of weather damage to lower story plus it is so fast. Have seen 3500 sq ft go up in a day 1/2. Coordination of resources and timing is critical.

[@carolinagreen86]

Amazing! how much was the cost and how long did it take? Also where did you get the pre made wall frames?

[@laurieclarkson9180]

It's not too difficult to frame the walls yourself and you'd save a ton of money. There are lots of framing videos on here. Tools can be an issue if you don't have them, but a good old fashioned hammer has worked for many people. You can also rent saws and other power tools from your local hardware store.

[@renehavnen5165]

What is the approximate cost to do something like this? for about 2 000sq ranch home? We are in WI.

[@lordofthechimps348]

I'll do it for 3 easy payments of $19.95!

[@lordofthechimps348]

No, but if you pay 2 additional payments of $19.95, I can stack it all on my colleagues Honda Civic and hope he makes it.

[@oreokid101v2]

If you guys still do this, I'll gladly pay you $20k for the same job in massachusetts (architectural drawings and permits paid for by me)

Please don't unless you know what you're doing. Many people tend to believe the floor can be just supported by walls which is totally wrong.

better to lift up the roof 5 or 6 feet and fix the new floor, that will be much cheaper ..

[@Johnny-be3pj]

How much did it cost?

[@pl2604]

As much as the house and a little more because it’s more complicated than holding a new house I think

[@aarona222]

Where in New England Rich? lol, i maybe interested.

[@Tom-xy9gb]

I see one bad thing about this... did y'all make the house capable to support the next level?

[@RedBoyDaTruth28]

Juan Ramirez codes required them to make sure there is support to hold the second floor alot of work not shown on the video was done to make this happen it just makes it easier to do it this way and makes life easier for the owner where less time of not being able to stay inda home it cut down dramatically

[@jakesontiano]

Black Panther oh shit I knew we were forgetting something

[@ELIRAXPRT]

You can see the new floor joists were already in. 2x4 walls have no problems supporting a second floor. Most foundations are overbuilt so many times there isn't a whole lot more to make the house capable of another floor because it already is in most cases.

[@darthsailormoon4831]

@@ELIRAXPRT That is not true. Load bearing beams are required for second floors.

[@ELIRAXPRT]

DarthSailorMoon chances are there are walls for room partitions in that home and the second floor joists are bearing on the interior walls besides the exterior walls.

no wonder Ur hauses Fall apart on 1st wind , how can U build entire walls and everything with wood? Real wood hauses are 10x heavyer than this. My shed is probably stronger than this.

[@ndleinahaystack]

your comment makes no sense. go back to bed

[@Ivan-Brzi]

+ndleinahaystack I supose you are also american or something. becouse this is cheap building. in my conutry we build wood hause with full log not some 5x6cm plank stacked together. and it does make sense if you have brain to figure it out. when you have huricanes in america its a disaster and we have wind we call " bura" bog te jebo. which are same speed and nothing hepends to any hause. cuz we build them strong. as i said. my shed is stronger than this crap build

[@ndleinahaystack]

+Ivan Brzi have you ever heard of LEED or Green Building? every area here in the states is not tornado alley. most new homes now are built with 2x6 timbers and not 2x4 timbers.

[@Ivan-Brzi]

+ndleinahaystack ofc I have. and as i said. when we build eco friendly hauses we use full logs or half log with 25x25 beam supostrs. I know that not everyehere is tordado aley, but americans build hauses like this everywhere. even where is tornado aley. and then cry when some mid. speed wind blows half of their hause. most of our hauses are solid brick 25x12x6 in dublle rows build like bunkers.
