Part of the reason we didn't use ropes and pulleys is that we didn't have them in hand in our toolbox -or- have a lot of experience using. A lot of the time we're trying to think 'how can we make this happen with what we have'. I would be interested in learning how you would have done it with ropes and pulleys -- particularly, where would you attach the upper pulley so that it was higher than the beam's final height. A sketch would be helpful.
That was a woke up moment. With the stairs being right there surely don't help but I've got to say the female is strong man I'm glad no one was hurt for it to go bad it happened at the right time
I know hindsight is 20/20 and I’m so glad everyone is ok, BUT why were they holding up a board weighing hundreds of pounds? I do not understand the complete lack of any weight baring support other than side boards. Why not rest it on something in the middle while it’s pulled up with ropes and pulleys. Slide a ladder, chair or sawhorse in at the appropriate height to rest on.
I think you make a good point. Having something under the board would be helpful -- though we were thinking that having support at each end was sufficient. As you'll see in the next video, once the beam gets to the 10ft level, we slide the scaffold(s) under it and that serves the purpose you're recommending.
There is an old saying that says "good judgement comes from experience and experience comes from bad judgement". We'll see in the coming weeks whether we've gained experience that leads to good judgement out of the whole deal.
I'll try to leave a constructive comment without delivering a lecture and I realize all the heavy lifting has been done prior to this video being posted. So here's my view. You're trying to make due with what you have and there's nothing wrong with that. You probably thought, and dismissed, the idea of somehow rigging it from above. But think about how wooden scaffolding is built as a temporary work platform and then removed afterward, then apply that logic to difficult tasks in the future. The time spent with seemingly extra work is always less than recovering form injury. Ask me how I know that. Your analysis and reaction to this incident is spot on. How many lessons have we all learned in life from near misses. Lady luck again? No one was hurt, fortunately video was available to review methods, and you dusted yourself off to continue later. The joy of build your own homes continues.
I‘ve seen so many of your videos where I just cringed on the lack of PPE. I mean, I love what you’re doing but you grossly underestimate the risks you take all the time when you‘re not using PPE. I rarely (if ever?) see you use hearing protection or eye protection. And when you‘re installing heavy items above your head, which you‘ve done a lot, I‘ve never seen any head protection. And just now, now foot protection either, or are those OSHA rated sandles? Then I see you walking under such a heavy beam with no sense of risk with such a heavy beam dangling above you unsecured. I think you dodged a bullet there, that could’ve been really bad. But I doubt I will see you using any PPE from now on either.
We originally felt that these LVLs were light enough to handle safely. With adjusted techniques and an additional scaffold, we were able to handle them. You'll see in a couple episodes that we did rent a crane for the other section of the ridge beam

So happy no one got hurt wow. Slow and steady.
Yes. Thank you for your kind words!
That's why you tie off both ends with scratch straps or ropes remember safety comes FIRST before you get hurt or someone
Thanks for the recommendation!
why were ropes and pulleys not used? this was an accident waiting for the time to happen! thank God no one was hurt..........g
These guys are not engineering people. Ropes and pulleys would have made the lift much easier

@ that’s fantastic news.
There is no substitute for genuine experience which you two have NOT !

Sir your taking these negative comments very very well much respect
LVLs are very slippery
Yes, that was a key factor that wasn't considered well.
Need a new plan.
Yep. Thanks for being one of our channel's faithful viewers!

Why not rent a lift ; safety first
