Incredibly useful. I just did this without the braces, just the bipod part made from 2x4s. Lifted a 14' high 16' wide wall without any issues, then 3 other shorter walls. So happy I came across this video. Amazing.
Good job @BasaPete. I watched your entire series for the build of this shed. Your skills are impressive. I did a similar thing as you show in this video, but with a home made roman crane. It was just a bipod with guy ropes and a cheap Harbor Freight block and tackle system, for processing Deer. I didn't get it completely standing on its side but, I think I could have. :)
@johncritch6812 ... He did. They were already there. He lifted the floor so he could nail them directly (or straight in) to the floor framing. Instead of toe nailing them.

Thank you for your nice comment.
How did you stop the wall from falling forward once it was vertical?
These videos are amazing. Thank you for filming and sharing!
Thank you for your kind comment.
Thank you for your question.
I prefer direct nailing to toe-nailing. Besides, it gave me the opportunity to display my lifting method.
Very thoughtful,I learned something, thanks for sharing.
Thank you for your nice comment.
Good job 👍
Thanks.
It works perfect even for bigger walls
Thank you for your nice comment.

Thankk you for your nice comment.
A block and tackle works great. Well done.
Hopefully I can modify this to lift a wall that I built in my garage to replace the big garage door.
Thank you for your comment.
And, good luck with your lift.
Thank you so much for share this!
Glad you enjoyed my work.
I shall try this. Might save me the cost of wall jacks and a few crushed toes.
Thank you for your comment.
Awesome video
Thank you for your nice comment.
Cool idea but? Would it have been easier and less work to install those as you originally framed the floor?
Thank you for your comment.
The only other way was to toenail them to the frame. Direct nailing is much stronger.
Why didnt you put those pieces underneath floor to begin with ?

where there's a will, there's a way. 👍
Thank you for your comment.
I watched an old episode of Tarzan from the 60s or 70s where Tarzan made an A Frame from logs and then used it to pull a baby elephant from the mud.
Thank you for your comment.
Yes, this is old technology.
Nice
Thank you.
Use a proper 4x4 fitted with a bull bar winch
Thank you for your suggestion.
