Save 10% on my favorite work socks from Camel City Mill with Code: SHERATONPARKFARMS https://manly.link/sheraton-park-farms-27 We were stuck. We raised the frame, but those heavy timber trusses were just too high and too heavy for our original plan. Today, we’re back on the timber frame build with a new piece of equipment and a crew of good friends ready to get the roof finished. Inside the Video: It took a lot of muscle, some precise tractor work, and a whole lot of community to get this done. The Equipment Solution: We show you how we finally found a way to safely lift these massive trusses to the top of the frame. Building the Trusses: A breakdown of how we construct these timber components on the ground before they head to the roof. Fellowship & Hard Work: We’re joined by friends, including Jacob from True Grit: Appalachian Ways. Watching him handle the tractor, set the rafters, and drive those timber pegs was the highlight of the day. The Finished Product: See the trusses secured in place and the frame finally looking like a building. Check out our friends: Huge thanks to Jacob and the True Grit team for helping us knock this milestone out! Check out their channel here: @TrueGritAppalachianWays What started as a setback turned into one of the most rewarding days we’ve had on the farm. In our last timber frame build video, we got the structure raised—but we hit a wall. The trusses were just too big, too heavy, and we didn’t have the equipment to finish the job. Today, that changes. With the help of good friends (and the right equipment), we: Build and assemble timber frame trusses Lift and set them into place Secure everything the old-fashioned way Take another big step toward finishing our on-farm store This wasn’t just about construction—it was about community, hard work, and learning together. A special thanks to Jacob from True Grit – Appalachian Ways, who put in serious work running equipment, driving pegs, and helping bring this build to life. This is what homesteading is really about. 👉 If you’ve ever wondered how timber framing works, or what it takes to build something like this from the ground up, this video is for you. #SheratonParkFarms #TimberFrame #BuildingProgress #FarmBuild #TrueGritAppalachianWays #DIYConstruction #TimberFraming #HeavyLifting #ConstructionFellowship Become a Patron: www.patreon.com/SheratonPark Brooder Plans: https://www.patreon.com/posts/sheraton-park-145472798?source=storefront Stumphouse Farms Hatchery: https://www.stumphousefarms.com/?ref=9E5394 Consulting Services: https://www.sheratonparkfarms.com/far... ‪Amazon Affiliate Link: https://amzn.to/3yRoENF Connect with us on social media: www.sheratonparkfarms.com www.facebook.com/sheratonparkfarms www.instagram.com/sheratonparkfarms Some links may be affiliate meaning we earn a commission from a purchase using the link
