Jerry is spot on…our panel guys used D-rings temporarily mounted on the panel face. They were masters at placing the rings so that the panel hung at just the right angle from the crane. They could also use those to cinch the panels together tightly. They made it look easy so it was interesting for me to watch an inexperienced crew problem solve on the spot. Loved the music…definitely over the top.

I think the crew could do with a little workshop on panel handling and erecting eh? Looked like a bunch of people with MA’s in Eng Lit and student loans to pay off.

BUT … BIG BUT so much faster and easier than stik bilt. Bye bye carpenters hello Lib Arts debtors.

Music … I expected nine inch nails.

Thought the music was great. Something different. Would like to see a movie of the inside and the finished project as they show in HGTV segments. Great job.

Truly a sight to behold, and a testament to the difference between theory and practice. The music was a risky move that paid off quite well

Well, it won’t much of a splash @ Canne or Sundance, but it kept y’all in & away from bar ‘n grill for an evening or three….;)
…and yeah, a better way to handle the big panels is in order. Perhaps temporarily mounting some cleats to the top of the panels on both faces to allow a sling to be slung for the loll/crane, and give the guys backs a break….none of that looked like fun….

As you can see, SIP storage and staging can be awkward on infill projects. Also, Big SIPS are tough to handle.

Maybe 2×8 and 4×8 panels maximum size would help? Then a $1000
“ladder hoist” could be used for the upper floors.
