https://stream.echo6.co/videos/watch/6f5239c3-1d74-4ba5-a36a-b68b9d537ead In this video, we’re demonstrating why our framing methods make for a stronger, safer build compared to standard platform framing. We are tackling a massive balloon-framed gable wall that needs to be lifted into a "pinched" spot between two existing walls. While many builders frame floor-by-floor, we prefer balloon framing these tall sections on the ground. It’s not just about showing off (though we do think our houses are stronger!); it’s primarily about safety and precision. By sheathing and blocking everything on the ground, we eliminate dangerous work at heights. Watch as Kyle operates the telehandler with surgical precision to slot this wall into place, and see why using PWT LBL studs ensures our walls are dead straight from bottom to top. In this video: Balloon Framing vs. Platform Framing: Why we choose the harder route for better results. The Lift: navigating a fully sheathed wall into a tight space using a truss jib. Precision Layout: Using lasers and PWT studs to ensure the wall is plumb before it ever leaves the ground. Rigging Safety: How we inspect straps and manage the lift director role.

Commercial work includes social media like YouTube if you plan to make an income off of that. I watched a video about this last May and then purchased the Part 107 Course https://sso.teachable.com/secure/245841/checkout/1320802/bundle-remote-pilot-plus-maneuvers?affcode=245841_0eauthdo&coupon_code=FRAMERS100 I studied and learned for 1 month and then took my test. I scored a 95%, which is a testament to how good Greg and the crew over there teach. That link will save you $100 off the course and support this channel.
