Ghetto wall raising

[amazonhippie]

I've worked for lots of companies that don't have every tool necessary. You make due with what you got, and you get the job done well. I don't know why so many of you are talking shit. It's a nice looking house.

[wsfyler]

what the hell is ghetto about a crane helping this seems safer than than most the methods ive used and seen? most framers i know would die to have that sort of help i lift walls bigger than this with wall jacks that are rusted to shit and make terrible noises like they are about to fail with every pump and i dont even consider that ghetto we used to use 2x4s nailed hight and push! and hope nothing comes back. P.S whoever thought the floor was finished is not in the business.

[Taxminia0311]

remind me to never hire these type of dumbasses to build my house, what a bunch of fucking idiots

[qwerty23967]

why doest the guy who gets the ladder just grab the prop and push? higher point of lift should make it easier, just a bit of common sense maybe?

[TheBuggsey]

I can see the boom from the crane in the background.Also can hear the hydraulic pumps working with every movement of the wall.They should have men with tag lines guidong it up on the ends though to be safe.Also I could just make out the jib off the boom of crane in one of the shots.Wasn't a very high tonnage crane.Don't nee more than a 15 of 20 ton for a residential job.Might be a remote unit instead of a cab unit. Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents. Butch

[farfromthesoul]

more like limited workers. oh and why does the floor look finished but there's no walls? also how are you going to nail the piece holding up the wall onto the finished floor?

[Brandoskey]

Hey, Whatever gets the Job done right?

[SwampoO]

why aren't they wearing their toolbelts?

[jdat747]

guess I can't talk, my methods are pretty ghetto also.

[muscles4100]

lol what NOOBS

[d789b]

Why don't you do the work then.

[Lotum4n]

Yeah i see a picker truck in the back doing all the work with straps and you can hear the hydrolics working pulling up the wall , the guys are just guilding the wall no hard labour here .

Looks like a pretty good job of framing from what i seen other then needing more blocking in walls over 9 feet .

[bmpowellicio]

In the first few seconds you can see that there is a rope attached to the panel, so its being winched upright.

Not sure what the three men are doing, except for standing in the danger zone if the rope breaks.

They need another rope on this side attached to something solid to stop the wall from being pulled past the vertical and falling out of the building.

Otherwise, its all fine except for the shortage of safety gear, and understanding.

Always use winches for this sort of thing.

lmao!!!!!!!!!!!

RED NECK FRAMING! by the GET -ER-DONE construction company

[mikejmcc1970]

ya know you should nail some cleats to the deck in a ladder formation with a angle cut at the bottom of the kicker so it acts kinda like a ratchet when your standing up a wall that tall...and it's not a bad idea to use some banding from your last lumber drop to strap down the bottom plate so that wall doesn't go top heavy and come back down on yas...although it looks like that may have been done.

[bbygurllbre]

LOL I have been there a time or two myself .Dont put down the vido cam and get on the kicker .lol thanks for posting

[heatseeker213]

yeah the ladder is really going to stop the wall if it were to fall? lol

[ohioguy440]

get on the brace you fool....but you guys were using a machine i could hear it in the back ground....you 3 could never raise that 2x6 balloon framed wall by yourselves NEVER!!!!

[rezofwar306]

there was nothing ghetto or gangsta about that

[glinka57]

lol Noobs.

[wsirianni]

its called a rope and a pulley.

[GuSxMan666]

framing is not for the weak, remember that.

[overtenemy69]

you guys are a discrace to the carpentry trade!

[imnothot159]

DUDE GRAB the fuckin brase hanging off and use it for leverage or use your ladder NOOOOOOOoooBS

[odmcarp]

the guy with the camers could have helped.

lazy bastid

[eurojax]

It was actually a 90 pound filipino lady.

[americantradesmen]

Safety#1 ladies....

[vlinedude]

check out a new tool called v-line (new invention) would help when you get to the roof, the next must have for your tool bag's

[strats24]

Obviously those guys don't do that for a living, what a great way to get hurt. Next time rent a crane to lift you high wall, save you time, and most important your back.

[lolloxor]

Haha who needs tools. :p

[zerosprite00]

why'r you holding a camera, go help em!

[DimmBelkin]

lol!

[losoj30]

omg I strained for you! next time let the guy in the middle go to the brace you have nailed in place! It might help lol.

[terthyian]

pathetic

[crazypablo]

nice!
