    I waited all week for this episode. It was everything I expected short of the helo doing the lifting!! This was terrific. Those beams are going to be awesome to view when these rooms are complete. I am adding praise for the guys who helped out on this beam lift project. Holy Smokes. This took some real talent for the planning and the doing. Congratulations on successfully placing the beams!!! Now, I wonder what the roof framing will look like???????

    I‘ve been watching you build this mansion board by board! Other channels are building one room cabins in more time than it’s taking you to cut, frame and build this entire home alone! How are you able to do this? All these intricate designs and builds? It can’t be a fake timeline because your kids are still kids! Bravo sir and family.

    Just two extra helpers ? That was a task to accomplish. As usual the Kids made it look easy. Thanks for sharing your excitement.

    1) I would have recommended that you extended the excavator bucket as well as lowered it to lower the inertial moment (some people would have said center of gravity) of the entire machine to reduce the effect of the glue-lam beams hanging off the sky-crane; 2) I'm sure that Jacob is aware that the rails on the scissorlift collapse for low-clearance doorways. At least, every scissorlift I've ever operated had them.

    on the smaller beams, the guy with the light colored hood on looked a lot like George Younce, the famous bass singer for the cathedral quarter, although your friend was probably taller. i am glad you had eli engineering everything so that it would all fit like a glove. i noticed "sweet petunia" checking that all would come in under budget! may God bless and keep yall...............g

    I did think you would use your scissor lifr, but I didn't know that you would have to get a more sturdy lift. It was a sight to watch, I know you guys are over the moon. Or maybe over the beams. It is slowly shaping up. My construction hat is off to congratulation what you guys have accomplished. Looking forward to next week video.

    Does the roof beams attach to the main beam or above it

      They attach above. That way, the beams will be exposed.
