This is such a great series Jesse, not only watching someone talented build a house, but to see this whole method of construction (which I've never seen before). Thank you for taking us along!
I love your patient approach to your home project, taking the time to limit your costs by looking around and taking low cost opportunities as they arise and in the end saving considerable amounts of money and still come in with a product that meets and exceeds the legal standards.
Jesse, Great to see yet another video from you and watch as you continue to build your new home, and share your knowledge with all of us. Thank you for your time in filming, editing and share with all of you here. Appreciated.
Great saving. looking forward to seeing the next stages in the ICF house building series, especially the roof as I have never seen an ICF roof during construction.
Jesse makes everything he does look easy. The precision involved with prepping the trailer, cutting the steel beam, to loading it up and then unloading it, is intense.
Very smart move leaving the 'smaller' beam. The setup as is was a giant PD/State Patrol/DOT trolling rig as it was. To say nothing of the potential disaster if you had an accident of some sort. God knows where the beam would have ended up in a sudden braking avoidance maneuver. Really looking forward to the eventual beam placement in the house.
Great job Jesse. I thought the balance looked a little critical from the side view. But you did it! Nice work and good planning on your part. Thanks for posting and take care!
Jesse's "short little video's " are at least the average if not x2 of most tubers. The pettibone started straight up without Andrews 2 cans of ether and 12 batteries hooked up😁.-(When Jesse fixes something it stays fixed.) -Ever the pragmatic approach to the problem at hand. Love the house series.
I look forward to every video Jesse. My wife even enjoys them! Everyone is asking why you didn’t use the lowboy, but looking at that driveway and how steep it was answered that question for me. I thought the gooseneck might have bottomed out too as you were pulling ahead to back under the beam. Great job!
Jesse you are the smartest youtuber i know. I myself also look for people who are getting rid of stuff. Its a big financial saving. Thats how built my home.used the best structurally at the lowest price. 👍👍👍👍👍👍
We moved (2) 50 ft long I beams by welding a mobile home axle and tongue on the beams, which essentially made a trailer. We left early Sunday morning with little traffic on the road. Worked well.
Great job! For me as the cheapo guy, I would have tried to cut the free beam into two pieces and slide it into the cavities of the big beam... Thx for showing! 👍👍👍
I thought about leaving it long because I might come back for it , but yea cutting and taking it even as two 16' pieces would have been alot of nice steel
Great video. you got a great deal there, and i would back and get the other one and the smaller one that was cut off. just to have it, because you never no when you might need it. some day. good luck.
I clear spaned a 36' building with a 30" beam back in 1998. Same situation a new one was 1500 I found this 30" for 890 delivered. Was 42' long so I cut it to 38'. This was like a flash back video. I miss that building. I cleaned and painted it gloss white, it looked like a wall.
25:00 - Communication is King ... even for smallest details... although, only a problem of inches...a beam this size...NO JOKE. Well done! ... Teamwork makes the "beam" work!
What a great video as always. I have been watching your videos pretty well when you started and you just get better all the time. The black plastic ties! may I suggest you change them to metal as the weather will make them brittle and they will break.
I thought you would have picked it up with the low loader! Was it going to be too much in diesel? I thought you were going to tip the crane when you were swinging that beam around without the outriggers down!👌😎
Near zero tongue weight makes for a scary drive. I did it once before with a big load of 12ft lumber on a 8ft utility trailer. Was it legal? I doubt it. Was it scary? Yes. Did it sway? God yes!. But did I get it done? Yup. I won't do it again though lol!
Down the road, a mobile home was being demo'd. I stopped and asked for a piece of the I-beam that makes up the trailer part of the structure. It ended up being 3"x12"x24' long, so I strapped it to my little trailer on one end and then strapped the other end to my hitch on the truck. Got it a short way down the road to my home with no probs. Cleaned it up primed & painted yellow ready to install as provisions are being made to support it in the structure. It will be used for hoist across the ridge in my shop. HF Tools has a beam trolly that will work perfectly on it. Maybe good for 1/2 ton mid span.
Wow. If you got that second beam and cleaned it up. You could get creative with beam rollers to build a rolling cart. To mount a saw on. For cutting really long planks
I like your vids a lot but I end watching them intermittently. It'd be nice to have a little voice or text over intro to know what your working on. Just a suggestion, Ill keep clicking tumbs up on alll your posts anyway. Respect bro! BTW Your beam is very impressive
I tried using some steel in construction once! The building inspector said the engineering costs to have the inspector stamp my plans would offset the cost savings. I just paid for glue-lams!!
Only issue with such a tall beam (27") it takes a lot of floor height. I suppose of your framing using custom floor trusses it will work, but you have a few extra stairs to cover the additional height. For my home in the garage with a 28' span the engineer spec'd out a W18 or a W21, and had him switch to a heavy W12 to avoid the loss of ceiling height.
Since I have an 8/12 roof pitch, its not a big deal if its in the ridge. Its cathedral ceilings but I will have about 10 ft to the bottom of the beam and 12 ft to the top.
He said it is for the ridge beam so it will essentially be in the attic or the top of a cathedral ceiling. We also have to keep in mind that he is pouring a concrete roof. I can't wait for that part. I have never heard of a sloped concrete roof.
@@jmuller86 Issue might be attaching the roof rafters to the beam. For my floors I used LVL in between the beam flanges screwed from the top & bottom using structural screws. You have to cut strips of wood and attach them for the ~27" gap between the flanges so you have a base to attach the joist hangers. You cannot dangle the joist hangers (Had a big battle with the enginnering firm explaining that you can support joist hangers from only the top of the beam. I had a conference call with the joist mfg & engineering firm to explain why that's not doable. For my roof I used SIPs and glue-lams. We cut angled top plates and used long structual screws to secure the SIPS to the glue-lams. I had a walk up attic so the center vertical support beams were hidden in the stairwell walls. I used 4x4 steel square structural tubing for the vertical support means & welded top & bottom flange plates. Also I fully painted all my steel beams using Rustoleum 9800 DTM mastic (Zoro dot com). Ground off all the surface rust before painting. I hope this was useful. & good luck with your home build!
Best way to do this is haul it at an angle on the top of the gooseneck, you can hang it off up front a good bit. Our hot shifters will haul 50 ft beams on 35 ft trailers
You really should put the outriggers down before lifting. It looks like you had neither front nor rear down when unloading and swinging to the side which is very dangerous. I do see that you later had them down though.
He would have had to keep on the road and load the beams on the road. That driveway was kinda steep. He has a video where he talks about bottoming out.
He can't get his low loader down to his build site because of the drive way at his property, that's why the lowboy is always parked up at the roadside....
Just a thought. If you had your wood supports the same height as your gooseneck you could have slid the beam all the way to the tip of the trailer and not had so much overhang.
That Pettibone lifter there that was made in the up or the Upper Peninsula of Michigan they used to make a lot of heavy duty equipment like that of course they're all closed now and out of business but they were up on the Q&A Bay
Jesse at 26:18 we notice a skid steer komatsu is it a new skid steer? You have how many different skid steer it would be very interesting a video or you present your different skid steer
yes I bought that with a blown motor, hole in the block I think its a 1026. that will be for when my garage is useable. I also recently bought a JCB 180T with a misfire, I will be fixing that soon
How did she handle on the way back? Looked a bit tongue light, but if it works it works. Also, if you hit the number 4 button repeatedly on this video you can see some fine dance moves.
This is such a great series Jesse, not only watching someone talented build a house, but to see this whole method of construction (which I've never seen before). Thank you for taking us along!
he said it was several hours of driving , the fuel economy difference at that point is also over 100 $ even if one is a little sketchy

But he said moved it after DOT hours. So it's ok.👍👍👍
That's a great deal. I would even still go back for the other beam if you had the time. It seems like it would be useful for something eventually.
Yeah, basically getting paid at least a grand for 5 hours work.
You always keep me on the edge of my seat, Jesse. Yet another awesome video. Thanks!!!
Great job Jesse. I thought the balance looked a little critical from the side view. But you did it! Nice work and good planning on your part. Thanks for posting and take care!

Yea that lowboy would have got stuck real bad. Couldve loaded it in the road but it only weighs 2700 lbs so that 14k trailer easily handled it

I hate working in the rain, I feel it dilutes me
I feel like DOT would of loved that 😂. Which I’m assuming that’s why you did it on an early Sunday morning.
Jesse I enjoyed the video. Thinking outside the box on this one.👍👍👍👍🤔

That was quite the operation. I'm glad you didn't try taking the second beam. It must of been hard leaving it behind.
Hi jesse, beautiful America. ❤
Great job!.....Would love to see how Andrew C. would have done this!
I’m surprised you didn’t use your larger flatbed for you tractor trailer. Great work as usual.
13:30 I wonder if the driveway was too steep for a semi or if maybe he only gets insurance on the semi one month at a time or something.
Exactly what I was thinking. Would have made it a lot simpler and safer I would have thought
Would definitely go back for that other beam! great deal, you'll find a use for it I'm sure.
Wow, what a beast... that Taylor Big Red forklift!
Thanks Jessy. Looks like to fix up an old flat bed for the ole freightliner
Another awesome update video Jesse. That's one beast of a beam. Saved money not taking your truck and lowboy trailer
Great video. you got a great deal there, and i would back and get the other one and the smaller one that was cut off. just to have it, because you never no when you might need it. some day. good luck.
You are amazing, Jesse!
That's a great beam, Jesse !
Top.
nice find.great job getting it home

I recognized that bridge you drove over in Gilboa!
Beautiful country merica sure is a beautiful country
bonjour courage a vous je vous suis depuis le début coucou de la FRANCE
Great job! Done safely and intelligently after DOT hours! Added yet another chapter to the storied history of the Pettibone!
Working under lightning is a job safety hazard.
nice work fellas, no guts no glory.
25:00 - Communication is King ... even for smallest details...

Great video, thanks for sharing.
You should consider getting a couple of walkie talkies for better communications.
That's gonna be one strong house.
I thought you would have picked it up with the low loader!
Was it going to be too much in diesel?
I thought you were going to tip the crane when you were swinging that beam around without the outriggers down!👌😎
It was 2 hrs each direction and using the semi I would never got out of that guys driveway. Or in it for that matter
You do like to stack up the adventure trips. Well worth the trouble!
Since you got the rid on the trailer already set up should go get the other one. Scary when you lifted over the skid steer.
Dude thats a shame...👍👍👍
You should have given the beams a quick surface grind back and
Painted a protective epoxy Zinc coating over the steel👍👍👍
nah, whats the point? it will all be covered up. that would be a mountain of work just to be covered up anyways
That was fun to watch, probably a bit stressful for you!
That is a pretty big beam. I sure hope you went back to get that other beam that was free.
I was wondering why you swung the beam with your outriggers still up. Thanks for sharing.
yes you luck out on that well done Jesse
Nothing beats getting in your own driveway with a load that may be a little questionable compliance wise.
Near zero tongue weight makes for a scary drive. I did it once before with a big load of 12ft lumber on a 8ft utility trailer. Was it legal? I doubt it. Was it scary? Yes. Did it sway? God yes!. But did I get it done? Yup. I won't do it again though lol!
Good stuff ! thanks for video
Well done mate
You know when you need to cut the grass when your Skid steer starts disappearing 😂
Well done Lads!! Cheers!;-)!!
Just about the most dangerous loading I have ever seen!
Great video that was really scary with the being

Holy Cow Jesse that some big steel
Wow. If you got that second beam and cleaned it up. You could get creative with beam rollers to build a rolling cart. To mount a saw on. For cutting really long planks
Love your videos very informative have you ever thought of time lapsing your videos
I was thinking "Don't hit the skidsteer, don't hit the skid ... KLANG!"
I dont think I hit that skidsteer
@@jmuller86 Something metal as you were swinging sounded like :)
looks like the Pettibone came in handy
I like your vids a lot but I end watching them intermittently. It'd be nice to have a little voice or text over intro to know what your working on. Just a suggestion, Ill keep clicking tumbs up on alll your posts anyway. Respect bro!
BTW Your beam is very impressive
Big beam, sketchy journey. Muller in action.
Great job..... would have put down the stabilizer arms when unloading the beam
I did when I got it over the side
Great video. I need a 25' beam....to carry a flat roof....and wild guesses on the heights? 25' by 24' roof surface.
Looks great, but next time some hard hats would be a good choice with steel in the air.
Time to do some sketchy shit, doo dah, doo dah, Hope I get away with it, ohh the doo dah day.... Glad you got home without incident.
That beam is huge, it's almost like you could've welded a hitch to the front of the beam, a dolly axle in the middle and be done, lol
could have yea, would have been neat. I just dont have the right axle to do it
I tried using some steel in construction once! The building inspector said the engineering costs to have the inspector stamp my plans would offset the cost savings. I just paid for glue-lams!!

@@guytech7310 my roof is concrete, the joist and slab are concrete and monolithic I weld on sheat studs and pour, thats the attachment
@@jmuller86 Why concrete?
Seems like the math would work out on returning for the other beam, especially free. Hell, just sell it and make a nice profit even paying $500.
The white Jeep is a find, you are willie Nillie on changing your mind.

That's definitely a conversion from a brass set to a titanium pair
Nice.
Waited on top on top of the gooseneck too
I love that you pulled this off and shared it! Goose-neck trailers are awesome. That said: this seems like a good load for a semi, why not use yours?
Maybe out of state and need permits?

I kind of wanted to do that but I was afraid it was too tall and would be more prone to be top heavy. In hindsight, thats the way I would do it
On project how long is plan be done?
Working under lightning is a job hazard. Hahahaha. Beam was tremendous. Eaglegards...
Why didn’t you go in the low boy?? 🇬🇧🇬🇧👍👍
That Pettibone lifter there that was made in the up or the Upper Peninsula of Michigan they used to make a lot of heavy duty equipment like that of course they're all closed now and out of business but they were up on the Q&A Bay
Good stuff
I'm suprised that the 2 x 4 framing you put up in the back did not collapse under the beam weight!
you should sandblast the beam and properly corosion proof the beam with some coal tar epoxy or bedliner
Jesse at 26:18 we notice a skid steer komatsu is it a new skid steer? You have how many different skid steer it would be very interesting a video or you present your different skid steer

Vert nice video
My OCD kicked in @8:01 hearing the forklift misfire🤣 opportunity for you to repair and save money on beam?
I must have missed it, but how much did it weigh? Love your channel, Jesse !
2700 lbs
@@jmuller86 thank you, sir.
How much would it be if you took that to recycle at the scrap yard?
About $250
How did she handle on the way back? Looked a bit tongue light, but if it works it works.
Also, if you hit the number 4 button repeatedly on this video you can see some fine dance moves.
it was a little squirly but we just kept it around 40mph
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
Is that WTC steel?
While you have things rigged you should go get the other one.
its a 5 hour trip so I kind of want to be heading in that direction for something else to make it worth it
Hello
I am still waiting for freightliner semi truck repair and rebuilding and renewing it that you promise
I'm sure he'll put providing for his family on the back burner and jump right on it mate 😉
I had every intention of doing that project but time has gotten so tight trying to finish my roof before the freezing weather
Why didnt you use the lowboy ?
Jesse, did you get the Pettibone from Andrew?
Yes
