    Now I have lifted a few beams longer and heavier but i also used smarts. Build a temporary catwalk flush with top of walls and built beams at the hieght then rolled them over. I found building them up where they will be placed is the easiest and actually just as fast as lifting them up with zero dangers.

    Consider the title --- "Southern Idea" Just because it is an idea doesn't make it a - "Good" idea. Apparently this is being done in the South where permits and building codes are not required or being enforced. Even though codes and permits drive up costs they serve the purpose of protecting future owners of the home from from questionable building practices that are concealed and will only surface when they fail. Further more to all the people who commented on what a great and sturdy beam this is just remember having an opinion doesn't make it fact.

    Need to see what is under those 2x4s holding that beam up. That should go right down to the foundation fully supported. A single 2x12 is good for 18’. That may be ok. I would want an engineer ok it, or see it exactly as is in another home where an engineer ok’d it. Very sketch. And, the big guy with the beard is the only one doing it right. Liquid nails should be fully from side to side, and 3 nails minimum across the beam joining 2x12s. This is why code and inspections, and engineer drawings and more. peace

    Dang make a wall lift . Make a mast on a tri angle base like a letter A with the mast at the center of the cross of the A .then brace it back and side ways with #4 rebar . Then add wheels at the three points with locks . Add a manual hand winch worm drive . Put a large pulley at the top . Then your cable up from wench over the pulley down to a safety hook . Now have all rated for 2,000 lbs ..
    I built one 48 years ago and still have it and use it . Damn one can't be this stupid and lift this shit and not pay the price on ones body .
    Dad and I would lift 48 foot long walls with all the headers in it , just the two of us .
    I made it so could extend it up to 20' to set rafters . Just use 2" square tubing 11 gauge and 1 1/2 square tubing for the center 11 gauge.
