The joinery is cut, the sub-floor is installed and so the time has come to raise the frame. Barring adverse weather that day will hopefully be this Saturday. To work through the raising process myself and to help everyone get on the same page I made this animation of how the raising should theoretically go.
Of course, the animation lacks a critical component… the people! I’ve been scouring the YouTube for other frame raising videos for examples. Here’s my favorite one so far.
Great animation , even if "it's only a model"
Great animation!Can you share the SKETCH UP model?May I ask what are the highest and lowest points on the roof, respectively? What is the angle of the roof?
Sure, here’s a link to the SketchUp model:
app.sketchup.com/app?3dwid=5d943b20-0c6a-48dd-a98e-66cf848d8f6e
The roof has an 18 degree pitch and ~18 feet from the floor at its highest point and 10 1/2 feet at its lowest point
