Nice job, building looks good! I don't suppose it will want to float in the pond level with that much weight to one end? That mini ex sure has shown it's self to be a handy tool.
Knowing Bolt-On-Hooks is only 30 miles from me it always amazes me when I see Ken on your videos. He gets around. Rex did a heck of a job on that roof! Here's hoping that floats with the deck surface above the water line.
Tricky roof installation Tim but patience paid off. Ken is a great guy and I love his products. The two of you interact very well. I’m enjoying the series of videos very much. The floating gazebo is looking awesome.
I cringed a little when I saw Christie standing under the roof as you swung it over the float. I remember as a young guy working in the lumberyard getting yelled at for walking under some lumber that was lifted by a crane. Rule number one was to never put yourself under a load lifted by any machine. I have tried to never do that since!
Standing under a load is definitely dangerous. Standing under anything has risk. I watched an operator pull a rubber tire loader to the side of a trench and was going to dump gravel in the trench. He had somehow unlocked the quick connect and he lost the bucket while he was dumping. The bucket hit the side of the trench box and bounce into it where the guys were standing. It got hung up partially on a trench box cross support. Def a dangero situation. Lucky nobody was hurt. I don’t trust any kind of bucket or suspended weight. Nope. Not worth it. I’ve seen too many workplace accident videos on uncensored websites.
@@TractorTimewithTimit was designed to handle the weight of the roof settled onto the framing, not the weight of the roof dropping from an odd angle onto the framing. Bring under any load is a danger and should be avoided at all times.
Personally, I would have set the roof with only a few decking boards in place. Just enough decking boards to accomplish 2 things-enough to be able to complete the decking and enough to keep everything squared and structurally sound.
This is why I feel telehandlers with PTO and 3 point hitches are amazing machines. It could replace your tractor, mower, bucket truck/aerial lift, forklift, loader, and others. I wish more companies made telehandlers that have PTO and 3 point hitches. Even small versions would be amazing.
If you had a 4 x 4 or two or even a 6 x 6, you could’ve used the blade to lift the tracks and place them under the middle and in conjunction with the blade you could’ve lifted it a few more inches
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you're going to have to add probably at minimum 4 more barrels under the gazebo portion of the build. Take it from experience. FYI
@TractorTimewithTim it was a trial and error thing for me. The Boss kept adding things to the gazebo and it kept getting off balance and I finally ended up with 6 more barrels under the gazebo end of it.
Not smart, IMO. Proper tool for the job is a adage for reason. An appropriate sized cherry picker would have picked up the roof structure level allowed a straight down drop on to the setting points with better safety and control. Just because you have a hammer, everything is NOT a nail.
