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.

Thank you for your nice comment.
How did you stop the wall from falling forward once it was vertical?

[@BasaPete]

Thank you for your question.
I prefer direct nailing to toe-nailing. Besides, it gave me the opportunity to display my lifting method.

[@johncritch6812]

Why didnt you put those pieces underneath floor to begin with ?

[@mojah1]

Very thoughtful,I learned something, thanks for sharing.

Hopefully I can modify this to lift a wall that I built in my garage to replace the big garage door.

[@BasaPete]

Thank you for your comment.
And, good luck with your lift.

It works perfect even for bigger walls

Thanks.

I shall try this. Might save me the cost of wall jacks and a few crushed toes.

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.

[@BasaPete]

Thank you for your comment.
Yes, this is old technology.

[@clivemartin8852]

Cool idea but? Would it have been easier and less work to install those as you originally framed the floor?

[@BasaPete]

Thank you for your comment.
The only other way was to toenail them to the frame. Direct nailing is much stronger.

Use a proper 4x4 fitted with a bull bar winch

[@BasaPete]

Thank you for your suggestion.
