Lifting a wall with 2 people #building

Don’t try this at home 😅

With there being only two of us, sometimes we have to get creative. We lifted an unsheathed wall earlier in the day with a coworker helping and it went well so we decided to try a sheathed wall when it was just the two of us.

The wall was much heavier and we quickly realized it wasn’t a great idea! My heart was pounding the whole time 😅

We were able to make it work and installed it successfully but both agreed that for safety reasons we will lift the rest of the walls unsheathed unless we have help!

Safety first always!!

ABOUT US: We are Alex and Elaina, a couple in our 20s who are currently living on the 3-acre farm in southern Pennsylvania where Alex grew up. We have a garden, backyard chickens, and build or fix anything that we need to. We still work corporate day jobs, but are working to eventually leave the 9-5 lifestyle in favor of a self-built, debt-free, homestead on 6 acres nearby.

We upload a YouTube video every Saturday night at 7️⃣pm EST, and post daily on Instagram!

At least put on sheet on it to keep it square, then you dont have the square the wall later.

Big mistake attaching sheathing vertically. In fact code in most municipalities mandate it be attached horizontal to provide maximum shear strength.
