    • It's called a "dead man" because it's buried in the ground.
    • Nice that you had the forks to lift the stranded lift, but you also had the lift's leveling feet at your disposal, to lift it up and get something underneath for traction. Just a thought, to work quicker.
    • I'm seriously impressed with how efficiently you two work together to accomplish things that most other companies use at least 3-4 people to do. It really speaks to both of your skills and experience to plan these things out so you can do the work with out the extra manpower.
    • I haven't seen builds like this done in wood in quite a while, everything is steel nowadays. This is very relaxing to watch you guys work on this, I appreciate how detailed your videos are, and that you explain the steps and the logistical reasons for the steps. It's quite the masterclass. I've done smaller builds myself, but it's comforting to watch you guys prove this kind of build can be done with minimal manpower, if you know how to do it correctly.

    Brings back memories of my 20s building pole barns. The company I worked for didn't have any man lifts. We only had a skid loader. Any building over 40 foot wide we hired a local crane company to set trusses. Climbed the building and trusses to put purlins on the trusses. Widest we did was an 80 foot riding arena. Had to nail two trusses together and set them.

    I had the same thing happen with a rented scissor lift same model as your small one. Dug itself into 57# slate gravel. I ended up purchasing several sheets of plywood to lay on the ground just to be able to use the machine. My 60x42x18 building turned out great thanks to your channel!!
    If I had it all over to do again I would dig the holes and build the frame before adding the gravel. Just too much trouble with the wide holes and machine getting stuck. It would be way easier to use the skid loader to bring in the rock later.

    Some people call them jacking lugs, but in the end a deadman is named after morbidly trying to pull a dead man out of the earth . The engineering formula is F=uR. Here is a reference on the earliest use of this word from 1858. "a1852 W. T. Spurdens Forby's Vocab. E. Anglia (1858) III. 12 Deadman, a piece of timber buried in the earth, to secure posts, or other timbers by". And then the next reference was 1901. Typically associated with mountaineering and climbing and there often called a t-slot anchor. It is definitely a very old slang term. True story back in 1994 I removed some 20x20 concrete anchors with the top at ground level and 20 ft below ground...they were to 'catch' the space shuttle at an alternate landing site if things went bad, one on each side of the runway. So, each deadman weighed nearly a million pounds. the tie offs were 2 inch steel and went to the bottom of the anchor. We may not know everything, but the engineering part is fun, intriguing, and important to every building.

    Great work gentlemen! My question is at 19:43, I noticed the "dead man" chain is very close the the bottom of the truss....was this planned right from the word go when you were digging your dead man holes and placing the rebar or is it just coincidental? If it was planned, I am THOROUGHLY IMPRESSED!! 👍

    • @bignate8312
      @bignate8312 Рік тому +1

      I work for a Morton Buildings so can't speak to what Kyle does but I doubt he does the math to figure out where to dig his deadmen so the chain miss the trusses. If they do end up running right through the bottom cord of the truss, you can just put in on top or below and it'll be fine even with a bit of tension on the wood. Usually I put them in line with the 3rd post in from endwall and then every 24-30 feet after that. Always in line with the trusses so that I can use the same deadman for a cross chain ("X" chain) as well.
