Lifting Big Beams As High As Possible for the Sawmill Shed Build (Episode 16)

[@wallacefrey6247]

That was awesome that your Dad was able to be there to help get those beams up. One extra set of hands can make a project ten times easier, and you get to spend some time with Dad as well. Glad you had a good weekend.

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy Sandy- good to see the snow is having mercy on you. Glad your Dad was there to give you a hand with getting the beams up. Looking forward to seeing the rafters going up. Take care and stay safe and warm. God bless

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thank you! Raters should be going up real soon!

[@annlaurie1484]

Very clever, well done. 😊

[@mikewatson4644]

A self leveling loader would have made that process a little less stressful. I'm glad that you got that done without any mishaps. BTW, I looked up sketchy in the dictionary - there was a picture of you with the beams on top of the IBC totes being lifted up in the air!! I hope that you can get a roof on before the white stuff starts to fly. Thanks for bringing us along

[@sawingwithsandy]

Yeah would've been nice with that self-levelling loader for sure. If you think that's sketchy you should see what I do off camera haha

[@bryansaunter4124]

I have used a I beam as a jib. Locked in the bucket, tied and anchored with straps. Hook on the end allowed me to move, roof trusses kept away from cab. Everyone uses what they have, glad too see it’s coming along

[@jimputnam2044]

Nice to see a hard working man moving up in the world.

[@sawingwithsandy]

hahaha

[@TheHobbyShop1]

Looks great Sandy. It’s starting to take shape!

[@toddpacheco4748]

Sandy,looking like 👍 the new lumber mill shed is coming along nicely with a little bit of help from your dad awesome work and video 😮😊❤

[@russellbelliveau1694]

Nice weather so far for you but I think that may have changed yesterday lol. I do like the height of it. Great work out there

[@robertblacksmith4355]

Great to work with your dad & great machines!

[@sawingwithsandy]

Hi Robert! Thanks for coming along for the video. Was a great day out there with my Dad

[@mcsawmill]

Sandy, having built my own shed, I really know how awesome what you did was. The ibc totes was an awesome idea! You are rocking it!

[@paulcarlson-es1gw]

great job ,I love watching things get done that would stump 98% of people !

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thanks for coming along for the video Paul!

[@rogerbelanger295]

Agree with you on many different ways to get a job done…the ibc totes with the tractor forks is a beauty.

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thanks Roger. I scratched my brain for a while thinking whether it would work and I think it's about the best I can come up with with the equipment I've got.

[@gerryspang5917]

Nicely done, necessity is the master of invention. You do whatever works for you. Enjoy your videos. Cheers my friend

[@sawingwithsandy]

You're right there Gerry!

[@scottbrooks2351]

good stuff sandy. your methods of lifting beams have evolved and are much safer. well done. good to see the roof beginning to come together.

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thanks Scott. Back some time ago I remember lifting a huge beam up high on a ladder with my Dad. I sure didn't want to repeat that again and I think our backs thank us haha

[@larrykerr7712]

Getting it done.

[@deprived56501]

Starting to really take shape. Looking foreward to seeing the rest of the build. Good vid. Thanks.

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thank you! Hoping the build comes together smoothly from here on

[@EDGARKECK-t3f]

VERY CLEVER! THAT'S DEFINATELY USING YOUR HEAD. GOOD JOB! BE SAFE .

[@xpoolguy5406]

That was a master class. Well done. Nice to watch after 6 hrs on the tractor moving snow and another hour pulling neighbors truck from the ditch. We got 20 inches of the white stuff overnight and another 5 during the day. Ten minutes south got nothing. I miss those warm and sunny November days already

[@sawingwithsandy]

It's been a wild weather day out there for sure! I'm looking forward to what is coming but am worried that the only piece of equipment that will benefit is my snowmobile haha

[@xpoolguy5406]

I regret not getting my sled in the shop for it's annual fire up. Didn't expect this mess but should have known. My atv won't do well enough with the depth . So much to do, so many challenges thrown in. Love this life. Got the fire going and the house is warm.

[@sawingwithsandy]

I hear ya there! Sounds like a nice night to enjoy the fire. I'm doing the same as we speak

[@bwillan]

Coming right along with the beginnings of the roof assembly. Also good to have an extra set of hands to help out. It's impressive the projects you've built working as a solo operation.

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thank you! Slow but sure I like to say. Takes some extra steps though for sure at times by myself

[@perrybroughton4728]

Like your way of doing things..

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thanks Perry!

[@paulfrizzell31]

👍great video, Sandy 😎

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thanks Paul!

[@rodneywroten2994]

I Love when your dad shows he is cool. Ifl you have a 2or3 lb hand mall it would help you with driving the big nails

[@sawingwithsandy]

Hey there Rodney! Yeah I think a bigger hammer would've been a good tool for me today on this one

[@kensmith4918]

nice to see your dad helping

[@sawingwithsandy]

Sure was a big help today

[@cg5528]

Good job Sandy

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thanks CG!

[@exotictones1054]

Been snowing in mich.

[@donblackden6423]

great idea using the IBC totes to get the height, we built a new barn over the summer and used the tractor folks to lift all the beams in place

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thanks Don! Would be neat to see your barn come from the ground on up. I like those type of projects

[@shirleyraymond9703]

Put a little soap or oil on spikes, they will drive much faster.thanks for a great video!

[@sawingwithsandy]

That's a good tip! Thank you

[@chadcollier250]

Everything goes slower when you go taller. Stay safe!

[@sawingwithsandy]

That's very true Chad

[@eduardfrazao3506]

Sandy well done

[@sawingwithsandy]

Thanks for that Eduard!

[@kevinkeim5944]

Sandy, you need to get a 3 lb. sledgehammer to pound those spikes in! You wouldn’t have to swing it so many times.

[@sawingwithsandy]

Yeah a hammer that size is on the "to buy list". One day

[@timscartoys9321]

At least the weather was still holding when you filmed this, and hopefully will cooperate a while longer!!

[@sawingwithsandy]

Hey there Tim! Weather has been unseasonably warm it seems this year. I'm scared for what's in store haha

[@TechOne7671]

Quality, you know it’s going to be good when it has a disclaimer😂. Nothing wrong with that Sandy, using what you have to hand and risk assessed with common sense. I like to watch those kind of operations. She’s going to be a bute. All the best.

[@sawingwithsandy]

It's going to be a heavy built shed for sure. It's getting up there in height though. I figured I didn't ever want to feel like it was cramped.

[@billyhaddock5540]

Sandy, dude u got some help with the beam, let him help with the beam..

[@sawingwithsandy]

Hey Billy. Thanks for coming along for the video

[@jameslangley2033]

I wish I would have thought about The ibc totes when I was building my sawmill shed. Mine was 40 long and the 20 foot beams was a nightmare to put up.

[@sawingwithsandy]

Those are some big beams !

[@johnyost4235]

Thank you for your fast comment

[@sawingwithsandy]

Always great to have your support on the videos John. Thank you for that

[@silverleapers]

Help Sandy get a mug of Sludge folks (or even a Timmy's!) , let the ads run, please, eh.

[@gusswenson7811]

Howdy Sandy. It’s looking good. Nice to see your Dad out keeping a eye on you. So I have one question. I am hoping you are a few videos ahead on posting. I have a general idea of your location and the weather there is not looking like it is good building weather. Hahahaha. Anyway Great job on progress ( or as you north of the border pronounce it) Pro-Gress. Hahahahaha Stay warm and be safe . Cheers

[@sawingwithsandy]

hahah when I was down in NYS and Ohio this year I went back and forth about the way Canadians say "Prooocessor" haha.

[@harkbelial]

Another proof why women live longer.

[@johnyost4235]

Add knee braces, been building barns for 52 years, still have crews, good job, john yost

[@sawingwithsandy]

For sure John. I"ll have knee braces going in before too long

[@nealhogge4968]

KZbin popped up an ad while you were up on the ladder nailing in the beam. That's not unusual but this ad was for "Depends Undergarments" for men. Sorry but I couldn't help but laugh at the irony.

[@sawingwithsandy]

Hahaha probably knew how I was feeling up on that ladder

[@saintaugustine1715]

Good morning Sandy I did sent you some pictures of my home made scaffold at your email address hope you get them have a great day

[@saintaugustine1715]

Good afternoon Sandy that was interesting to watch you did it the way it work for you even if it wasn't osha. approve lol a few video ago I did mention building scaffold but I think you miss understudy a little what I was saying because you mention moving the scaffold I was not with a concret 12x12x1 1/2 setting 3x4 8 feet long every 5 feet 2 of them putting a cross piece at a Hight comfortable for you walk and work for that Hight using 2x4 on top of cross piece and have that set up all the around the building so you can walk all around without moving any scaffold and you are comfortable to work because you feel safe if I can I will try to send you some picture of the ones I built through your email you will know it is me it will have the same little truck emblem logo have a great day

[@sawingwithsandy]

I see what you mean now. Yeah a few pictures would be great. I'm always up for new ideas.
