    I'm a 66 yr old retired commercial carpenter, and watching you work those logs into place almost made me wish I was back up on a scaffold again. Almost... Don't cut yourself short, you're doing a helluva job to be all by yourself.
    One thing I recommend you do now is spray your floor with a sealer to PROTECT it from rain, especially since you said you won't be dried in for at least a month. Thompson's Water Seal is one of the best, but use whatever you can find. You don't want your subfloor rotting out later because of this.

    You continue to amaze me. I hope you can get a friend or neighbor to help you with the heavy lifting. You can't afford to injure yourself. The brace you use for lifting would be more effective if it were higher. Keep up the good work. Your dog -- name? -- continues to provide you with great morale-boosting support. Try to stay dry. 😊

    Hard working, creative, capable resilient and adorable, you’re pretty amazing! Single pitch roof is how I build these days asI do not have the ability to do ladders with only the use of 1 arm and a mostly paralyzed left leg. Block & tackle is how I move a lot of things. I use sailboat blocks with bearings as the bearing blocks are s much less effort than bushing blocks.. I also use a portable ATV winch I built with a LiFePO4 battery & a wireless remote. if you make your lifting arm taller you can then mount a cleat temporarily and you can then easily stop anywhere during the lift and cleat off. Being hemiplegic (hemi=half plegic= paralyzed) building jigs, rigs, brackets etc. allows me to Still build and is just part of everyday life. In our barn I built a sliding chain hoist that runs the entire length. When forced to figure shit out we do. So sorry to hear about your husband. I actually died/flat-lined and they were able to resuscitate me. My brain just started bleeding one day at 52. I almost left my wife a widow and my daughter fatherless it’s a lot to process even though I survived... It was insanely traumatic for all of us of us. Keeping yourself busy helps the grieving process.
    A a small tractor would be an invaluable tool for you. One with a backhoe and loader would work. After my brain hemmorhage I bought a Kubota tractor & a small 3.5 ton mini excavator. They have both paid for themselves multiple times over compared to hiring or renting… they both get more use than I ever thought possible…

  • @billkrueger7549
    @billkrueger7549 3 месяца назад +1

    You got ! Don't forget about bi-pods and tri-pods. Maybe a bi-pod under one end of a support and the other end connected to your wall mounting bracket. That would allow you to move your log connection down the log, which would lift the log end higher. May want to angle brace corners under top plate to keep side walls plum and from bowing. Whatever, you are doing great. Best to you and your 4 legged helper.

    Hi I just wanted to say I saw one of your first cabin building videos and it caught my attention and watched each episode from then on and I love the channel bc you go thru things same way I would and if something doesn’t work you just figure it out and that just shows the real life aspect. That being said I went back to watch some of your old videos and learned more of your story , I just wanted to say sorry for your loss but also wanted to say that after watching those episodes I feel you are doing exactly what you should be and I truly believe that HE is happy for you and cheering you on from what I saw what you are doing by following you dream and living life you are doing exactly what he would be wishing for you and you are doing good for his memory sorry for bringing up any bad feelings but I just felt like it might be helpful to hear some affirming words keep up the content I truly enjoy watching and following your journey

Keep up the amazing work and oh by the way nice ingenuity on the hoist you built to get those logs up in position. Go get some well deserved rest, you certainly urned it. Awaiting for video # 5 to come out.

    ⚠️10:54 From one who sustained a nasty back injury in my early 20's, which has permanently curtailed activity. Please, please lift with your legs. Drop your hips, squat, lift your head and look forward when you lift so that you're not using your back! (And use more block & tackle pulley systems whenever possible to reduce the amount of weight you're actually having to deal with.)
    That way you will be able to continue doing this kind of heavy work.
    But good for you for psyching yourself up to get on with the job. 🎉🏆

    Wow! And you're very smart too! I'm impressed! Yay! You did it. One thing you'll notice from working like this is that you're growing muscles. You don't need to go to the gym. In your arms and legs. Pretty soon, you'll be putting those types of logs up with no problem. It's a struggle now, but just wait.

    You are a firecracker, I don't know you but I'm just super proud of you, girl! Would you take a recommendation from another girl who built 2 barns? Use an impact. You'll wonder why you didn't before. My son-in-law watched me struggling with driving screws into thick boards, shook his head and handed me his impact LOL Build the second barn with these amazing GRK construction screws and an impact. What a game changer. Stay safe!!!!!

  • @ScottBalkum
    @ScottBalkum 3 месяца назад

    In the future, if you move the chain, wrapped around the beam, further down the beam that will lengthen your rope, give you more vertical travel and it will pull the beam towards the wall at the same time. You got it up there which is all that matters. But food for thought on the next lift.

  • @dhgifts
    @dhgifts 3 месяца назад

    Sorry about my previous comment, I just feel Your determination and good luck. They do have tools for rent maybe like a material lift etc kind of like a sheetrock lift and can lift heavy crap.

  • @SuperHurdman
    @SuperHurdman 3 месяца назад

    My hat off to you! If you get another pulley and secure it to the floor take the rope and attach it to your four wheeler and drive off the machine will pull the log up instead of you pulling it up! Work smarter not harder!

  • @FloridaNative59

  • @MultiSerge1980
    @MultiSerge1980 3 месяца назад

    Keep up the great work. Suggestion for you, find yourself a couple of multiple pulleys with two or three channels. It might take you a little longer to hoist things up but using a pully system where the rope goings through 3 or 4 loops will make lifting much easier. Look at the pullies on a sailing ship to understand what I mean.

    You are simply AWESOME !!!!!! ALWAYS keep a timber length beside you to rest the heavy logs on as you wrestle them higher and higher. As a 70yr old with a buggered back now for 25 yrs ,original damage from my early years of farm work, using physical force to move heavy objects . By 45 the deterioration of the spine was so bad they cant operate so a slight accident at work caused a herniation of the lower discs and sciatica and ivecsurvived on prayer and strong prescription pain drugs. I hobble around with a stick and have to lie down most the time. I dont want this hell for you so please , find the smartest way to acheive this dream love . Ill be watching and praying for God to put good helpful people into your life so you acheive you and your dear hubbys dream without you suffering injury from it. You're doing the most AWESOMEST JOB and i love your tenacity. Big hugs from a proud Aussie Nan 🇦🇺🤗💞🙏👌👍✌️👏✝️🇺🇸

    Great plan and task completion today. I’ve read online that two to three pulleys working together can definitely make the weight lifting job a bunch more reasonable for a strong woman like yourself. I just wanted to mention that the science of pulleys can really spare your body more damage you’ll notice as you get older.
