In Alberta we did this quite often. Largest one was a 5000sf roof that was going on a 10k sf 2 storey house. The roof was in two parts and completely closed in with plywood already. Fun times!
Excellent I've watched another video that lifted their trusses in bulk but they had fabricated steel that bolted in on layout and yours worked just as well without the cost of the steel
Wow, not bad on the crane bill. We use cranes frequently where I work and even for a small 20 ton crane it's at least $500+ even if it only takes an hour (doesn't matter the company, they all charge 3-4 hour min.)
You are doing an excellent job in speed and budget, but some beam to post connections may not be strong enough. I would get some experts to take a look, considering dead load, snow load, wind load and possible earthquake proof. At least add lots of bolts.
Hey super Dad! I want to build the exact monitor Barn ! Cant find any plans for this here can you reference me who created those plans cause i would like to buy them :) thank you and great videos and job !
I've been excited for this espisode all week long! My wife and I live in Coal Mountain and purchased a farm up in Dahlonega earlier this year with no structures on it. We're looking to build a monitor barn like this for a future tractor and other equipment. Did you hire an architect for the plans, find them online or make them yourself?
Wow on the cost, what state are you in ? Looks like lumber cost is back to a decent price? Was it store bought or at a mill direct ? Love all the hard work
Watching how you sized your beams and spaced your trusses I can tell you are not in a snow load zone. Here the Trusses are 24" on center and the beam they rest on would be at least 4 2x14. It is a bit odd watching you build to code that has no snow load.
When you first said that you would like the trusses to be lifted as one lift I thought you must be brain dead then the crane operator showed more common sense and made the two lifts.
Not really, it's good to know someone that will "help" us out should they need some construction work or had construction work done down the road. DIY's make a lot of friends because we never know when we will need a helping hand. $200 bucks is a great deal!! That will cover fuel cost only and not even a full tank.

Thanks for the cost breakdown, that crane saved a ton of work didn't it. Well worth the cost!!!
You got that right! Thanks for watching!
Hats off to the crane driver. A real pro, made a hard job look easy.
Yea sir absolutely he did. It couldn’t have gone any smoother
I've watched a few buildings get built on TH-cam. I've never seen someone lift the trusses with purlins as an assembly. Clever. Looking good.
Thank you it worked out really well
I’ve watched a few buildings get built on TH-cam. I’ve never seen someone rent a crane to put a roof on. Clever.

its kind of funny that this guy is a builder, cause he is built like a brick house !!! not overly huge like a body builder, but solid as a rock !
Another great video. Love the boys think you’re just making them a big climbing frame. 😂😂
Thank you! Lol yes they did they enjoyed climbing to the top!
Would love to see building plans looking at doing a sinker build.
It's looking very nice, looking forward to the next video!
Thank you very much!
Great planning made this job go smooth
Yes, thank you

Awesome content. I loved the crane lifting the roof structure. Will be anxiously awaiting the next installment.
Thank you it was a fun day for sure
I love the build. I will start on my pole barn next summer.
Desperation is the mother of invention... or boom lifts.
Looks just amazing you should be vary proud god bless u all
Very nice job! Greetings from Serbia!
Thank you very much!
Very cool!
Good preparation, good outcome.

I know it the crane operator was great and gave me a super deal
Nice and cheap!! God Bless!!
Bless you thank you
Hi what 😮 wooden house greeting video 😊ok
Great stuff, enjoying the series. What would we do without our kubotas!
Thank you! I know right best purchase ever

Yes it was a super good deal. It only took him an hour start to finish.

That is awesome! We’re not far down the road
Where are you safety harnesses?
Hmm 🤔 not what the heck happened
Wow on the cost, what state are you in ? Looks like lumber cost is back to a decent price?
Was it store bought or at a mill direct ?
Love all the hard work
Did you work construction prior to your firefighting career?
A tiny bit but I’ve been building stuff since I was younger.
Scabs, one. Mail in braces , not braking roof joints , can’t imagine . Been a carpenter for 70 years never seen the like ! Please don’t reply !!!
That total cost seems insanely low. I just spent $2K in materials to build a 10x12 shed. Apparently I got ripped off?

Yes sir I’ve seen 8’ spans on engineered trusses all the time
I got that hammer 👍
Who measures in ,inches on a long distance. Not be real critical,bit not very common ?😅
no cribbing under outrigger pads!!!!!
Bad!!
nice, get em cowboys.🙏🌴👙💕🥂🐓🌹🇹🇹
200 for a crane?!

LOL "On a budget" but rents a crane LOL
It saves time consumming and safety purpose as well... for 200$ it is worth it!
I call bs on your budget, no way you rented a crane for $200.
