Setting 40' trusses with my Clark crane that has 92 ft of boom, installing 5/8" OSB sheathing and then ice and water and elphant skin underlayment. Also picking up a Grove 71' boom lift with my semi truck and lowboy
My grandfather was working in Boston in a tall building. His buddy fell from the 6th floor and landed on a pile of sand. Got up, shook his head a bit and climbed back up. I am so glad to see safety harnesses. This was long before safety rules.
6 stories you say sounds like a tall story, landing on sand same as concrete at that height, even water would cripple you. Nice story but reality says not.
Hi Pete, I know that it sounds like a 'tall story', so I looked on the web. Typed in man falls 6 stories. A lot of people have fallen that far and farther and lived. My grandfather was born in 1897. He served in WW1 as a propeller carver at Great Lakes. He was disappointed that he was not called up. He was an honorable and respected man. I suppose I could comb the Boston newspapers and see if it was reported, but I rather doubt that would have caught the attention of a news reporter. The man might have been docked some wages for fooling around on the job.
Noah blesses my heart every time I see him. He reminds me so much of my son at that age. Same hair color, same energy level and going 100mph every waking moment!
I really enjoyed all the camera angles you incorporated into this video. Very cinematic. Keep up with the great content Jesse. Glad to see everything coming together on your garage build.
In case I haven't said it before, I'll say it now - The extra effort you put into video production with thoughtful camera placement as well as post production/editing so as to deliver an entertaining video experience for your growing audience, is very much appreciated. Just the availability of the high resolution drone for the home video creator, really moved it all to a Hollywood level product (minus the perverted culture of weirdos of course), yeah it's really great! Good progress on the building too!👍
Awesome shop Jesse. But I'm guessing you dont have many crane operator's watching. I want to politely give you some advice when extending the boom. Hydraulic cranes and boom trucks have slider pads that the boom extensions ride on. They will wear out fast if not properly lubricated. And the least friction on them is at approximately 65 degrees. And its common safety to have a tag line on everything you pick. Love your channel brother. Always stay safe.
The wind was carrying them trusses like sails in the beginning, excellent job getting them done. So glad to see you being safety conscience, the last thing you want is to get hurt, you've got a lot to consider. Excellent video as always, your work ethic is second to none. And I want to give a shout out to the guys that help, well done.👍
I worked for a truss manufacturer for a while. We always had the customers verify the individual truss shop drawings prior to fabrication to confirm their preferences. Also we offered an option to apply OSB sheathing to the gable trusses at the plant (huge time saver). Great job on setting the system!
yea I did get those drawings, but didnt really pay attention too closely. so it really is my fault that I didnt get the drop down trusses. I just thought since I gave the lumber yard my plans that called for the dropped down trusses that they would put them on there.
@@jmuller86 Jesse I would like to inform you that the subtitles are still not available 6 after the video is posted I don't know if it depends on you or youtube but this frustrating
@@jmuller86 dommage parce ce que je suis francophone et j’ai de la difficulté à comprendre quand je ne peux pas mettre les sous-titres en français mais je crois que dans yous tube studio éditeur peut ajouter les sous-titres à une vidéo déjà en ligne
@@jmuller86 Too bad because I'm French-speaking and I have difficulty understanding when I can't put the subtitles in French but I believe that in yous tube studio publisher can add the subtitles to a video already online but I would understand if it's not possible
Watched several builds, similar equipment with 3 to 5 helpers and yours is by far the best. You spend time calculating, re-enforcing and minimizing risk, plus you explain the reasons why during the build with aerial shots.
Another great video! We always get a complete picture of what you are working on. Not long put complete with all the detail. I prefer watching the longer videos instead of other channels stretching out the contact week by week. keep up the awesome videos! Best regards, from a long term subscriber
I enjoy your content and the way you achieve your goals so much, that I’d like to subscribe over and over again. Can’t do that so I tell people about your channel. Godspeed in your endeavors!
Marvelous work, especially on the last day when you were all by yourself! I admire your confidence and skills, but also the safety precautions you follow. Still, you would not catch me on that roof any moment. Once finished, you will have a building to be treasured by all. Congratulations, and may the Lord bless you and keep you! Thank him for his guidance!!
Fabulous videography of the first trusses being set … drone view must be useful to see in the cab too. Helmet cam added a closeup view, thanks. The bracing at the end wall to start was brilliant. I once helped our contractor set up trusses with no bracing and it was sketchy, especially using us owners very unskilled labour to hand bomb the trusses into place. It did work out well, although another carpenter crew a few years later at a neighbouring house nearby, left unsupervised, didn’t put any bracing up and installed all the trusses. They went home for the night. Big wind cane up overnight and blew them all down and destroyed them. This was at the end of the pandemic when trusses lead time was months. They had to stick frame the roof to complete the job. 😮 Thanks for the video Jesse, from Canada 🇨🇦
Man! That was a long one just watching it, I can understand how you shot after all that, not only the physical work but also the stress of such a large job, and everything that goes with it like dealing with the wrong end trusses.
WOW, a straight up marathon of building. You said you were whooped, I believe it. Great progress and now you can really tell the size of the building. Good job Jesse and crew. Keep the videos coming. Long ones are ok.
Most men ( those that like to build things ) would love to have a shop like yours. We all have to make compromises somewhere. I have learned in life that no-matter how good you have things, you are never content and always wish or had hoped for something better.
Your and Pat are awesome together, like brothers from a different mother🙂Jesse, PERFECT music for settling the first truse up. The three of you, [ you, your brother and Pat ] work like a well oiled machine, great to see. The respect you all have for one another in whatever jobs you are all doing to get things done! Sounds like liuttle Nopah, is gonna be going into the family business when he grows up..🙂. That FORD gas boom lift, you should maybe sell as it, and get another that is NOT a ford [ My husband says of Fords is, Fix Or Repair Daily ]. Mike [ Dirt Perfect ] bought one for his business in Derby Indiana, and it distroyed his one trailer as well, he neded up having to install all new flooring on his trailer, went with Diamond Plate I think. Congrats on the " newer '] Boom lift and it's Disiel!! Great Video, look forwqard to the next one, and more completeion done on your garage. Is your House finished now?? Stay Well and God bless you and your family and Pat as well.
Wow, Jesse. Yet again, you've amazed us with your creativity, progress & another leap forward with the dream shop build. It must be freezing for Noah, the site foreman, to be still wearing jeans and a t shirt. The little man is growing quickly. The new boom lift is an absolute beast. If you haven't already subscribed, guys show your support, and let's help Jesse out
You have an amazing work ethic. Very glad for your success in this video. That can be a dotting task. Seems like the weather was in your favor while doing this.
5/5/24...so Jesse, am ~50 minutes into this 'raising roof truss' video & had to say A+ on all your 'bracing, diagonals, horizontals, latterals..' & of course your little inspector Noah with his Hard Hat 'slanted' to convey his '5o Mission Crush' experience💪😊👍ya know, like those Hollywood movie stars in WWII movies...well maybe you are too young to remember, but that particular hat-on-head profile was the absolute example of unrivaled combat experiences & is living proof of exactitude & perfection!..so Jesse, loved the waay good extra bracing while erecting those 'web' Gable Braces. No doubt '50 Mission' supervisor Noah approved!! ..just gotta love the combo of your construction experience & cinematic producer/director instincts to show-off your main man, Noah! Man, I am eaten' your videos up!😋 ...now back to lifting those Gable Truss frames...
Thank you for sharing, Jesse. I'm thankful for you progress in life, business and your family. Appreciate your ethics. Continuing to pray for you, your wife, family and your crew. I like the new(used) better equipment. Keep it safe, strong, healthy, wise and successful in Jesus's Name. ☝🙏🙌💪👍
Another fantastic video love them love the length of them the explanations and why all of it im looking to move from the UK and the states is one option I'm looking at
garage coming along Jesse. setting those trusses is art in itself, to get them dang up on is some voodoo magic. nice catch on trusses starting to get out of whack. ice and water shield gets frustrating, eats up alotta time getting it to lay right. your frustration with that boom lift justified Jesse. if you can 'borrow' parts off it to keep the other ones running, it served some purpose
How do you find deals like that?? $3500?? Man, what a buy. Your shop is coming together nicely. I've built lots of homes, but back in those days we never used fall protection so I've never used it at all. But I wonder, have you seen those self retracting devices that basically will only let the rope go out slowly? So they are always trying to wind up a little bit, but if you fall it will allow the rope to go out but slow enough that you would just lower to the ground without being hurt. If you had one of those attached to your crane up above the roof, it seems like you would be safe and not have any rope management issues either. I've done a lot of shingle roofing too. Hopefully never again though! ;-)
Those retractable tethers are really nice but they are like $600 for a halfway decent one. I never used to use fall protection either but with so many people watching me I dont want to set a bad example and have somebody get hurt. But also its nice to know I will be there for my kids. That lift was a steal for that much. Once in a while the controls dont work for a few minutes but atleast I will have the patience to work on it vs the gas engine one
@@jmuller86 The $600 bucks ain't even the bad part . It only good for 5 years. All safety gear must be replaced every 5 years. If you need a harness you the cut man on the ground. I've been a carpenter since 76. I don't wear a leash .There for dogs.🍻
Put outriggers on the basket of the high reach and set all plywood from that. It works good. Also that harness is killing me. With the rope grab below your feet almost off the edge will do nothing. You’ll be on the ground before it grabs and the stretch is taken up plus the lanyard had 6-10 feet in it.
I have seen people buildin boxes for the overhang. with 2.6 inside and out with blocking inside the two 6.6, and they put it up in one piece each side seperate. Halifax Nova Scotia Canada
👏 👏👏That garage looks awesome for one moment I though you where going to use that Storm Guard on the hole roof I wish you would done it but it makes sense becouse the snow tends to accumulate at the lower ends of the roof but aider way it looks awesome job. I done a lot of roofing as well but that one is very big roof for shore it can make anyone tired and don't worry Jesse I know how you feel after that long day by you self because I work alone every day. Kind regards buddy looking forward to the next video thanks a lot 👍 👍
Excellent job as always! I wish I would have built a 40x60, but I was only planning on putting a boat in it. Ive' determined if I built one the size of a football field I would have filled it though! If you haven't already, don't give up on that man lift. I have never heard of that engine, maybe for a tractor? Find a 300 6 cylinder and rebuild it. You will never have to mess with it again and like you said that other machine is heavy. I have always been a Ford guy, but I am older than you and when Ford went to this variable timing crap they had some incredible engines. It would be of no use to you but the 4.0 210 hp v6 was bad ass in 4 rangers I had then before that the 260, 289, 302 were incredible and my dad had a "truck" 360 new in 1972. I had a new 1991 F 250 4x4 with 4:10.1 limited slips with a port fuel injected 460 that was a monster. Those 300 inline 6's are unstoppable. They are in Tugs to pull planes. I had my first diesel experience 2 years ago I bought a TYM T 25 with a Kukje diesel that kicks my neighbors 37 hp Deeres butt in lift capacity and all the way around. I researched for 6 months and neither Deere or Kubota could touch TYM. TYM made Branson, RK, and maybe Mahindra? I was skeptical about the Kukje but they have been in Deere and other tractors since 1959 and I believe Cummins makes them. I did have a JD 430 with a 3 cylinder Yanmar 20 hp that was a beast. Just remember. If it's too small you have room to build another one! lol
i understand that it was painful by yourself (on your shoulders and back) doing the roofing.. but as you expected..the job will be done before this years winter.. and you'd be warm and cozy... doing indoor mechanical work.. you stay safe Regards from Singapore, God bless.
Wonderful , what a nice building. I would ask your local fire dept to come and put a water stand pipe in one of your lakes. Would be helpful for insurance, and for fire suppression in the sad event of a fire on your property.
With so many machines to keep going it's about time that you have this building Jesse. I've worked in a similar capacity on farming machines and it takes a lot of space and we only had one 14 by 16 door to manipulate up to 6 machines into an almost similar sized area. Good going on getting the roof made weatherproof, especially by yourself at the end. I bet those two boys are a handful too.
