When the edibles finally hit you

they are professional carpenters and random alcoholic laborers who get paid daily in cash and drink their pay the same day..

"making money hand over foot"

Thanks for the support David, though I personally cannot take credit for the work, only the video! The actual job was performed in the manner you suggested by John Bryson and crew of Attleboro, MA. Their website is at www.JMBryson.com

+Richard Gagnon good job brother!!!! I guess people don't realize that's why there's a such thing as code inspection to make sure the house doesn't fall down the next day or anytime after that. I'd feel safe living there and I'm on the construction industry.

HAHAHA damnit

They do it every day and have for centuries. Not exactly new. But I have seen it done using a pallet lift truck (lifts and trusses, sheets plywood, boxes of shingles, etc) to a roof or use of a crane to do the same. A friend had her’s done..ordered a prefab built in a factory no waste etc already sheathed etc and was lifted by crane on top of the 1st floor and then hurricane tied into the original structure. All the same lumber and joinery, etc but better, more accuracy because in the factory it was covered and everything was done to very exact specs by accurate machines. They can work year round no weather issues. And when they get to the job site it goes on fast so less chance of weather damage to lower story plus it is so fast. Have seen 3500 sq ft go up in a day 1/2. Coordination of resources and timing is critical.

Also check out turning a crawlspace into a basement :)

rosebudforglory , do you know what company she got the prefab part from.

@@plips71755 what is company do you know

It's not too difficult to frame the walls yourself and you'd save a ton of money. There are lots of framing videos on here. Tools can be an issue if you don't have them, but a good old fashioned hammer has worked for many people. You can also rent saws and other power tools from your local hardware store.

Laurie Clarkson thanks Laurie, that’s very helpful!

I'll do it for 3 easy payments of $19.95!

No, but if you pay 2 additional payments of $19.95, I can stack it all on my colleagues Honda Civic and hope he makes it.

Who is doing your architectural drawings?

@@cavy95 I haven’t shopped around yet for the drawings, but I don’t see them costing more than $5-6k

@@oreokid101v2 it’s an easy way to build equity in a house, but my bank won’t let me be the GC. I need to find one myself.

😂 20k 😂 must be a shed

Where in New England Rich? lol, i maybe interested.

Did you ever do it... I wanna know the cost to

Same here my ranch is 1024 sqft and I want to add a second story.

Please don't unless you know what you're doing. Many people tend to believe the floor can be just supported by walls which is totally wrong.

between 50 000 - 150 000 $

@@thsikezierkojo4991 No

@@wilsq30 yes! it is not a 15000$ job

thsikezier kojo framing doesn’t cost 150k

better to lift up the roof 5 or 6 feet and fix the new floor, that will be much cheaper ..

As much as the house and a little more because it’s more complicated than holding a new house I think

Juan Ramirez codes required them to make sure there is support to hold the second floor alot of work not shown on the video was done to make this happen it just makes it easier to do it this way and makes life easier for the owner where less time of not being able to stay inda home it cut down dramatically

Black Panther oh shit I knew we were forgetting something

You can see the new floor joists were already in. 2x4 walls have no problems supporting a second floor. Most foundations are overbuilt so many times there isn't a whole lot more to make the house capable of another floor because it already is in most cases.

@@ELIRAXPRT That is not true. Load bearing beams are required for second floors.

DarthSailorMoon chances are there are walls for room partitions in that home and the second floor joists are bearing on the interior walls besides the exterior walls.

your comment makes no sense. go back to bed

+ndleinahaystack I supose you are also american or something. becouse this is cheap building. in my conutry we build wood hause with full log not some 5x6cm plank stacked together. and it does make sense if you have brain to figure it out. when you have huricanes in america its a disaster and we have wind we call " bura" bog te jebo. which are same speed and nothing hepends to any hause. cuz we build them strong. as i said. my shed is stronger than this crap build

+Ivan Brzi have you ever heard of LEED or Green Building? every area here in the states is not tornado alley. most new homes now are built with 2x6 timbers and not 2x4 timbers.

+ndleinahaystack ofc I have. and as i said. when we build eco friendly hauses we use full logs or half log with 25x25 beam supostrs. I know that not everyehere is tordado aley, but americans build hauses like this everywhere. even where is tornado aley. and then cry when some mid. speed wind blows half of their hause. most of our hauses are solid brick 25x12x6 in dublle rows build like bunkers.

+Ivan Brzi There are 100 million homes in the US that prove you wrong. Try turning off your video game and taking a class in engineering so you don't make ridiculous statements.
