A beautiful example of a man looking for a way to make a difference instead of calling constantly for help from everyone around him, more people looking for ways instead of people looking for excuses ;)
Where there's a will there's a way. I've had the pleasure of building several houses completely by myself, and you would be surprised at the ingenuity you'll come up with.
I was soooo relieved when you got that truss over the top plate! Great effort and smart work. I have not seen a drill powered winch like that one before. Looks from the comments that you built the trusses yourself too. That's awesome. Cheers!
I've done it myself! I'm 66 and I can out work most 20 somethings! Love the work, tired of the asses who hire you! People are so completely rude and insulting these days!
Im an old man... Physician, technic teacher on 35 countries...etc... I nov These work is very good... all.......; This man works like te ancians, the right work... bravo.. Sorry my writing..
You are a fellow after my own heart. I don't mind teamwork, but love the challenge of getting things done alone. There is nothing I can't do without a couple clamps and these two hands. Loved the one man technique.
I agree. I like working out how to do things without heavy machinery. Lifting trusses and beams, standing poles etc. Great fun and a challenge for the mind and body. We like to do our things with "family power." We use ropes, ramps, braces etc and do things by hand.
As a Tomboy who grew up alone, I learned how to get things done by myself. Leverage and inclined planes, along with the power of winches, can accomplish almost anything if you think it through. The problem with getting help is that person has to be on the same wavelength as you about how it is done, or they can slow you down and/or be a safety issue.
We raised 8-10 in a day it took 2 weeks to frame the roof with the truss building taking most of the time. I designed the trusses based on a warren truss. They did come out very solid and stiff.
if you would have just stabbed your top up first, then walked the bottom up the latter, you could have done it in one day.... also, paying a young, capable helper on the cheap would have been much better for you and the kid could have made some money.. this was hard to watch
Truss span is 24 feet they are 24 inches on center along the wall, the center wall is 16 feet high and the outer wall is 8 feet. The house is basically 54 feet long and 40 feet wide.
Genius! I'm speechless watching your video. I'm gonna build a shed 12x20 by myself; spent hours looking for ways to put up trusses without rental heavy crane. Your video saves me the sleepless nights. Million of Thanks to you sir. If you could, can you please share how you stand those walls?
this guy is very much concentrated in his work, he is an excellent builder, i would do the same like him, beautiful video, i need more equipment to help me do the job itself,. thanks for the concept idea a one man job.
When you have to work alone, you can figure out how to do it. I raised all the walls to my 24 x 36 foot 10 foot ceiling garage alone using a extension ladder and the overhead door headers also. Stand back and think it over.
Excellent ! One suggestion lace the cable through the top braces choke the bottom the same way and it pulls it on top without man handling it to get it up. I like the drill method!
Awsome !! You Rock . I'm building my house at 66 yrs old- by myself- Had help with rafters & steel roof- that's it--- so I can appreciate your occomplishment.. Looks like YOU built the rafters too- hood job ! I put up 21' 2×10 rafters (20) alone- needing a new L hip and other issues - alone- kicked my butt- Keep on Rockin'
Well done sir! But I'm old and not so tough, I'll be using a 12 vdc power winch to attempt to accomplish a similar task. I plan to raise (and install) a pre-built (on the ground) 8x10 metal covered shed roof. Wish me well. Thanks. Ron
i liked the video showing that it can be done by a single person.. im about to do a similar job.. i swear, the more realistic a video is the more the trolls have something negative to say... if you know how to do it? why are you watching a video on how to do it? because you are a troll... i loved the video... thanks for posting..
I know it may seem petty, but the thing that always gets me about some videos the lack of eye protection when working with any tool and especially power tools. Have almost lost my eyes twice if it wasn't for eye protection. Both times were simple "That could never happen to me" accidents but they did. Spanner wrench and bungee cord. Just saying.
What's your normal?? This is slow. If you had two guys with half a brain on either side they could get it up there and nailed off. Still respect this dude sending it alone🤘🤘
One man working alone can invent more ways to get a job done than two dozen couch taters ! When the job has to be done, a man willing to work can getter done!
Nice job! Built a 3 car garage myself and understand the problem of the trusses. I wonder if it would have been easier and safer to somehow hook the cable to the bottom cord? But sitting back and looking, I cannot determine how without the cable becoming a problem at the ridge board and immensely complicated plus the out of balance concern.
Pretty quality built but the thing that its resting on or how small of a lip that its resting on is nothing compared to the build of the truss itself. Its like a few inches thats its sitting on. Whatever the build of the truss was real quality i could not imagine doing all that for one truss. Thats a lot of work. The video before this this guy built every truss by hand which is real quality but its a lot of work.
You should put a 1 X against wall at ridge portion of truss to ride up the wall easier... then a temp ledger just below top wall to rest the truss on when you remove jury rigged 'winch' just for eas & safety I know you have a strap to installed truss however better to rest on ledger while you remove winch assembly prior to lift into final position
Definitivamente, hay hombres que les gusta trabajar solos. Se sienten más cómodos así. Además se requiere paciencia. Me identifico con este señor. Lo que si me gustaría saber es como se llama esa máquina que le sirve de polea? O el a acondicionado un motor? Alguien podría explicarme por favor?
Так на всякий случай( перевод google). Two minutes to raise one farm with a screwdriver, in my opinion this is masochism, especially at the end of the pyramid and to raise it with your hands. It’s not easier and faster to make the woods higher and with a sling of hands, I think about ten seconds and the farm is on top. No, of course, if mechanization is for the sake of mechanization itself, and not to facilitate labor, but then of course. One and a half minutes from each beam, that’s it.
I definitely would not have done one at a time. I would have placed all them on the lower wall. Then screw a hook to the other side. That way I can stay up top raise one at a time. Go to the next one. And so on until I had them all up there.
At the rate he is moving, he will take 4 times lo ger than it would take 2 guys......each side of that building could be done in either the morning or afternoon including bracing which if not done before strong winds could tear them back off the building.
2" long staples are the ticket for those gussets. I defy anyone to find a better way to fasten plywood to 2x's, it's fast and doesn't compromise the integrity of the plywood. Skin'd walls for years with staples.
+b-spot when I tried to pull out my heat-activated adhesive-coated 16 gauge staples, it was plenty difficult. significantly tougher than a smooth shank nail that's not lined with adhesive, and probably nearly equivalent to a ring shank nail. shear strength depends on fastener quantity, no?
Awesome but I think there is a good possibility you will burn up a drill or two. A 2500 pound Electric winch for forty bucks at Harbor Freight would have been my choice.
Pure genius I'm about to start on my house thanks to you I'm no longer worried about how I'm going to get the trusses up thank you for sharing this

Regardless of the technique chosen, this man is a determined and patient individual.

Congrats, any photos of you cutting down the trees for the lumber?
If you are determine to complete your work nobody can stop. That is the logic for industrious person not lazy. Well done sir and i salute you.
Where there is a will, there is always a way.Good work.
You are right . I wonder how I framed up some additions. Faith and cut carefully. But inspiration goes a long way especially nowadays.
I was soooo relieved when you got that truss over the top plate! Great effort and smart work. I have not seen a drill powered winch like that one before. Looks from the comments that you built the trusses yourself too. That's awesome. Cheers!

You can do many things single-handedly. It just takes a bit longer and some ingenuity. My farmer great uncle moved entire buildings by himself.
The mother of invention! Where there is a will, there is a way! Great job.

-- My goal is to spend as little as possible not to hire help.
Good job!!!
What is the span between trusses along the wall?
What is the height of the truss?
What are the dimensions of your house?
Thanks.
Truss span is 24 feet they are 24 inches on center along the wall, the center wall is 16 feet high and the outer wall is 8 feet. The house is basically 54 feet long and 40 feet wide.
Fantastic!

Many “builders” are lost without equipment to do the heavy lifting. Kudos to this gentleman.
wow great job guys, it took us 10 years to build ours only we worked full time daily. Thanks for video
I think you’re very resourceful and ingenious, good job.
Excellent ! One suggestion lace the cable through the top braces choke the bottom the same way and it pulls it on top without man handling it to get it up. I like the drill method!
I love seeing a good plan come together! Good job, man.
Hats off to you brother. Good to see I'm not the only one that tackles tough jobs.
When you gotta do a job alone, creativity is your salvation.
Not the safest, but you got the job done.👍
Awsome !! You Rock . I'm building my house at 66 yrs old- by myself- Had help with rafters & steel roof- that's it--- so I can appreciate your occomplishment.. Looks like YOU built the rafters too- hood job !
I put up 21' 2×10 rafters (20) alone- needing a new L hip and other issues - alone- kicked my butt-
Keep on Rockin'
Damn, that's cleaver. I also noticed you engineered your own scaffolding. Not bad!
That is veary cleaver.
Neccessity is the mother of invention nice work. Little jib for hoist is all u need
true, but it sucks at spelling...
Well done sir! But I'm old and not so tough, I'll be using a 12 vdc power winch to attempt to accomplish a similar task. I plan to raise (and install) a pre-built (on the ground) 8x10 metal covered shed roof. Wish me well. Thanks. Ron
Good Luck
Muchas gracias por compartir
That's a cool way of doing it THANK God for cordless power tools 👍
Necessity is the mother of invention!
Well done. Its amazing what you can do by yourself if you use your head more than your back. Of course, a good ack helps too.
Hey, Cameraman! Why don't you help him!!!! .....joke
I'm so impressed. Thanks for sharing.
A smart ingenious man.
necessity is the mother of invention. Great job! I love working by myself too.
Impressive work, very effective and cheap indeed...
I wonder how many he dropped.
This guy is awesome. I'm amazed.
Nice job!!! Ive done very similar, you have to do whatever it takes and you did great! Thanks for the video... 😊
Necessity is the mother of invention. Good job!
I really like your hard hat and back friendly movements. :)

Thank You for commenting.
Tell the guy with camera to get a tripod and give the poor man a hand....
Chris Craft the trolls are just jealous... where can I find a drill operated winch like this? Sure would be nice on the farm.

Ive been building houses by myself for almost a year now. 5 years prior experience. It can be done, just got to use the noggin!
This man is a Noah descender has to be. Great job
One man show i love it!!! Only person u can always count on is yourself
Framing can be done with one person...the thing is...it will take longer...but you wont have the headache of dealing with guys...
Kudos to this guy.

Come on now, this in on the 3rd page of the man handbook. Obviously y'all forgot to read yours.
I think with his smarts that adds up to at least two normal guys working 👍
What's your normal?? This is slow. If you had two guys with half a brain on either side they could get it up there and nailed off. Still respect this dude sending it alone🤘🤘
@@PassionFocused zzz zzz, a zzz☺️☺️☺️😋☺️
Impressive, much respect for him.
Excellent. I respect people who can make all! Уважаю людей которые все сами могут сделать!
Nice job, very good quality build...
Bravo!
I've commented on a few of your vids, I would love to see the finished house sometime. Thanks have a good day
I would love to see the finished house too. We are stalled at about 85%. Thanks for your comments.
Great work - Make sure your connections at the support points are sound - Interesting video!
One man working alone can invent more ways to get a job done than two dozen couch taters ! When the job has to be done, a man willing to work can getter done!
You really gotta truss yourself to do that!
Thanks for giving me some ideas I'm going to be trussing a house soon without help
Impressive
ten facet jest bardzo spokojny. ta praca go relaksuje
amazing

woooooww, thats too wild. that guy is awesome.
Wow, very smart job style. Great job!
I would have rise the highest wall first. Much appreciation for the technic.
good job like rick said got to do what you got to do
молодец мужик,один дом строит,удачи тебе
Incredible! Great videos!!!! Thanks

Definitivamente, hay hombres que les gusta trabajar solos. Se sienten más cómodos así. Además se requiere paciencia. Me identifico con este señor. Lo que si me gustaría saber es como se llama esa máquina que le sirve de polea? O el a acondicionado un motor?
Alguien podría explicarme por favor?
Creo que esta usando un taladro y un cabrestante o pulea.

Put some supports up to keep it from twisting and it will also help it be in the right spot just for anyone else doing this
And they lived happily ever after.
Forehead and two hands are my tools 🤣
Give this guy a tip of the hat.
Genius move. I love it.
I think just you and your wife has build all it, that's right?? , so great job, I saw some picture from your blog, amazing job . cheers =)
+Rodrigo Costa (rodricosta) --Thanks, You are right just the two of us.
I definitely would not have done one at a time. I would have placed all them on the lower wall. Then screw a hook to the other side. That way I can stay up top raise one at a time. Go to the next one. And so on until I had them all up there.
Very good,спасибо за науку
Great job, but just wondering if a box beam wouldn't have saved you some labor. Easier to construct at least, i.e. fewer parts and steps.
At the rate he is moving, he will take 4 times lo ger than it would take 2 guys......each side of that building could be done in either the morning or afternoon including bracing which if not done before strong winds could tear them back off the building.
Inch by inch, it's a cinch!
I feel your pain Brother
2" long staples are the ticket for those gussets. I defy anyone to find a better way to fasten plywood to 2x's, it's fast and doesn't compromise the integrity of the plywood. Skin'd walls for years with staples.
I don't agree staples have very low pull out resistance and shear strength.

in Russia, a 100 * 200 bar is used )) here it is fun to raise it ) with your hands . and here is a funny weight
good work and hard work
your helper when't to lunch & never came back ,Id did that a lot , ps marvelous job
For a one man operation, he's doing a pretty darn good job with everything.
Now I know what it would look like if I made a video of me building my home. Did it completely by myself.
Terrific video....thanks for sharing!!
Great video.
ld have hooked the cable to the bottom of the truss, but I like your style
Great video
Here in Australia, I doubt if homemade trusses would be approved without an engineers certification!!
I am sorry you don't have the freedom to determine what is safe for yourself.
@@BSpotBuilds Its all about safety for everyone!!!
No, its about control, bureaucracy, and money.
Good video....thanks for sharing.
Nicely done. Couple of cold ones at the end of the day; shower; sleep like a baby; repeat.
A Simple Double Pully System Can also Work well..what IS the gadget You drill into to ACT as a Winch?
I work the same, rarely get help
Good job
Awesome but I think there is a good possibility you will burn up a drill or two. A 2500 pound Electric winch for forty bucks at Harbor Freight would have been my choice.
