I believe a jig wrapped with 6 posts so the half arch coube held up and make some sort of a frame jig that looked scary there for a minute that or a excavator with a spreader bar to lift evenly
Fascinating! I am not at all familiar with arched buildings and found this very interesting. Good to see two of my favorite UA-camrs, Heather and Martin! Love how you all work together!❤
@@wakingupcountry So sorry, Kimmie. I didn't see you and didn't realize you were there. My cats love watching UA-cam as well, so it's very possible they blocked my view (they sit by the screen so they can "catch" anything that moves) if you made an appearance on camera🙀 I did hear at the end that Kimmie had a great idea that saved the day. Yes, you are definitly one of my favorites. Waking up Country and Kuz we Kan are my most watched videos!!❤ Of course now I add Chasing Freedom to that list😍
6:15 you shouldn't screw that down until you know the building is plumb. You'll force it into a cockeyed position that it can't get out of when you do it that way
I can do aerobatics in aircraft but watching that ladder work gave me the heebie jeebies. For your outside work, think of a pallet on your forks. Fortunately, I only had single story on stumps. Also, hang some equipment off the back of your tractor to help keep the wheels down.
I wonder if you'll need horizontal bracing towards the upper third of the structure to keep wind and snow loads from racking and squashing it. Reminds me of a tower I made as a hobby project. Three ten foot sections with two foot sides and with rigid electrical conduit cut and welded together. The base section bolted to one inch galvanized threaded rods sunk into a nine thousand pound footing with washers and nuts to keep from pulling out and a ten foot gin pole sank into concrete right beside it. The top of the gin pole connected with steel cable to an concrete anchor block some feet away. The tower only consisted of three ten foot sections plus a one foot base which was attached to the bottom tower section with a threaded rod in a hing configuration. With a hardware store eight pulley rope hoist and 165 feet of rope I hooked up the rope to the hitch cross bar on my mini SUV and raised the tower into place with ease and secured the tower to the tower base with nine bolts. The tower withstood hurricanes. I made it to where the tower and antennas could be serviced.
Your ladder helper was in the worst possible position. One of those things falling would have crushed a skull or broken arms. Glad you got away with it. Lesson learned from a bad experience and my wife has a scar on her arm. On the positive side I am so amazed at how easy that went up. After weeks of excavation, floor joists, flooring, etc. In just a day the whole metal structure went up. I assume you have some cross braces or wires to install for rigidity before you let the tractor go. Good job.
What a wonderful time we had with you. I love that you are following your dreams and we get to be a small part of that!!

Thanks for the tip with jig.
It was a great honor coming out to help in any capacity. Thanks for the invite and for the kind words. 😊😊
Oh my gosh, the whole time you were on the ladder I was holding my breath. Great team work, Cant wait for the next video.
Congratulations!!! You Had Awesome Help!! God Bless and have an Amazing Day!! ❤😊⚘

I’m not your favorite? 😂 (walking away, head down, dejected). 😊

@@charleendunn5446 just teasing you my friend. 🫶🏼😊
Great job! I am really interested in building one of these. I just need to convince my husband ha ha!
You can do it! 😃
Gee my feet gone all funny watch you climb that high ladder, great work done, be blessed
I was holding my breath several times. But it’s done and safely! Good job!

Thanks for the concern. Following the directions from the builder it’s OK to screw down and we’ll plum the building at a later step.
@@ChasingFreedomHomestead not to mention loading that steel in places where if it let loose it could take a man in half that was scary to watch
I stopedby to see martin🤣
Cool Build these kits are pretty nice! If I was closer to Texas they would be a great option.
So exiting to see see it all come together. Great work!
Wow ............. never seen an arch type build ... very interesting to watch ... THANK YOU ..much Love and Respect from Dublin Ireland
Nice Martin and Heather could lend a hand. Super great neighbors. Great job guys! Looking great! Thanks for sharing

Hi Sue! Thanks for stopping by the channel.
Holy Smokes!
This is like, maybe it is, just like the old military Quonset huts. Strong as heck for snow load
Yes, Similar but with a higher arch.
Martin Johnsson sent me over!
Welcome to the channel!
Thanks, Martin Johnson. I love this channel.
Glad to have you!

It have me the same feelings 😀 on that ladder. Thanks for the advice!
Fantastic finish
Thank you very much.
Awesome
Thank you!
This looks like an amazing project. Watch out for those ladies from Kuz We Kan Mountain - they are trouble for sure
They definitely are trouble, but the good kind. 😀
@@ChasingFreedomHomestead agreed 100%
SUPER👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🍀
Congrats, big accomplishment ✌️

Nicely done!
Matt, I was a nervous wreck watching you on that tall ladder…yikes!😬
Replace the ladder with scaffolding, much safer.
Yes, we understand that scaffolding would’ve been much easier. We have one now to use inside the cabin. Thank you for watching! 😊
I hear Heather laughing
nice job hard hat guy your working with steal
How many feet from the tip top to bottom?
It is 17 feet to the peak from the subfloor.
@@ChasingFreedomHomestead ours was only 16 feet. We are in Utah and have a 30x40 as well. It measures 16 feet from too to floor.
well done all,thats what you call an anderson shelter, not like the little dinkey ones in 1940,s troubles in britain
I had to look that up. Wasn’t aware of that history. Thanks.

Very good insight. I’ll take your lesson for future reference. 👍
Friend you needed a taller ladder. You are at great risk the way you are on that too short ladder. I was concerned for your safety!
Can't wait to see the rest of the building progress.
