    Merry Christmas Mike to you and your family.
    It’s amazing the projects you’re willing to take on alone but you prove that some common sense and a little precaution can make it all happen.
    You plan to slowly raise everything once your beams are all in place is the wise thing to do. Afterall it tool 100 years for it to sag like it is now so you need to slowly push everything back to where it was originally.
    Adding some collar ties and some “real” load bearing walls will allow everything to last another 100 years.

    • @CaptainKleeman

    Interesting set up and process, for a one man operation on a shoe string, I like it sir, it should work well. My grandfather used to Jack up old two story houses off of stone wall basements or sometimes off of stone foundations, no basement, so they could put in masonry walls. He would get these big heavy screw jacks cribbed up under the house and it took a long time to raise the house because he would only turn each Jack a quarter of turn every other day so they wouldn’t crack the plaster walls, or break the framing. Thanks for the Christmas video sir.

    I've said it before, I'll say it again! You're one of the bravest men I know! Great video! I can relate somewhat, to what you are doing. I jacked a 16x16 two story log cabin up. Put two new logs on the bottom. Then jacked it back down and slide the whole cabin 16 feet north, jacked it back up again and put a new hand-hewn barn stone stone foundation under it. 16" x 20" x 40" long, stones. Then jacked the cabin down on it. Tedious, time consuming work, just like you're doing. Be safe my friend! Thanks Mike! Lee

    I hope you consulted an engineer or architect about your support work. your building is designed as a series of wooden arches supporting a metal shell. Pushing on an arch from the inside may actually make things weaker. Keeping water off the wood is the main thing with keeping that building strong..

    14 years ago I dismantled, moved and rebuilt a 16x24 building, mostly by myself. I had 2 guys helping to cut it into sections to move it, and I had help setting the ridge beam and one gable end during the rebuild. Somehow this seems more ambitious.

    @user-yu3qv7yw2e 6 місяців тому

    I've been thinkin of the basketball segment from your last video, and how it is the embodiment of your approach to things.
    Supplies: flat ball, dark court with stuff stored on part of it
    Skills: basic knowledge that the ball should go though the hoop, life experience, minimal training
    Video: let it roll, imprefections and all
    End result: that was fun, did something a little bit new, no regrets, moving on
    I feel like many people wait for everything to be ready for "success" before they jump in, and if they aren't expecting success, they avoid or at least practice off camera.
    Your approach to this raising of the roof also has imperfect tools for what might be "ideal," maybe less training than some people would want to have....in other words, a million ways the average person could make excuses for not starting. But you do a great job of trading "potential perfect" some time in the future for "present progress" and getting things done now that work toward the end goal. Kudos to you for working with the brains and tools you've got, and letting that camera roll as you go. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.
