![]() I need to get a 7m 254*102*25 RSJ ridge purlin into place, this is gonna weigh in at at least 350kg, so me and the girlfriend wont be able to lift it onto the roof. The "normal" way I guess is with a crane, but I can't get a crane to the house, nor can I get a big enough teleporter or excavator in. There is a window below the RSJ at both ends, the tops of the windows are not build yet. The current plan is to get the thing in through the window (we can drag it with the bobcat), then using scaffolding and pullies lift it up, building the scaffold underneeth to stop it dropping. When we get to the top of the windows we can put the bricks in under it. My worry with this plan is that the scaffold will have to hold if for some days while all the brickwork sets, and a big storm may not be good for the situation. Is this the way is normally done, or is there some trick that I have not thought of yet ? Thanks Rick |
