So he could complete the job in his own time ?

I used 3 of those 6x6 beams in a shear legs with the winch mounted on that.
Much easier.

When I put what the yanks call a swamp cooler on the roof, I hired a ****ing
great forklift that
was a big as a bus that is used for full 40' containers in the railway yards
to put it on the roof.
It can drive around as fast as a car on the roads so cost peanuts for the
few minutes I had it for.

The builders shove the ****ing great coolers that are as big as small car up
a ladder.

I suspect he does not plan to - hence the extending gib at the top.

So he's going to pick up whatever and drop them all in the same place ?
Might have done better to have built it on the back of his pickup.

Tom Silva uses that Festool saw and guide quite a lot on the later
series of "This Old House"
(all available online http://www.thisoldhouse.com/toh/tv/video). Quite
interesting to see how differently the Yanks do many things...
