The subfloor lift is genius!

Darryl,
For me this has been your best video yet, for two reasons. I too am currently building an A-frame.
I am building it for a friend. It is a kit house. I see many of the same challenges and it is not any easier with the kit, less cutting and figuring for sure, and, still the same.

First, it really touched my heart to see the neighborly love, and the prayer.

Second, funny how I saw the plywood lift just yesterday in a very old YouTube vid. w/no direction or plans. I struggled to pause, zoom-in, and replay, I think six or seven times... I open this one this morning and BAM! There it is.

Thank you man. Thank you so much for documenting your journey. I also left a corporate job and am having so much fun on this build. I hope you are as well. Love ya man, and be safe😊❤.

Man I was thinking of a ramp to push up the wood, but your contraption made my back happy 😂 we do a lot by ourselves too so it’s cool seeing other people do it too we’re tuned back in keep going

When that winch popped up after I said "you cant make it, you cant make it" I laughed so hard😂 God bless you man, and your neighbours aswell. Great videos
