Re: What Did You Do With Your Truck Today ?

PS: I lifted that big mutha 14'-4" beam in place by myself. And I'm 57. No, I'm not a former Olympic power lifter, lol. I lifted on end onto an 8 ft ladder, then the other end onto a 6ft ladder. After hitching up my balls(OMG it was heavy) I used a heavy ratchet strap to get it within the last 6" but then the strap itself was in the way. I was on top of that 6 ft ladder with the beam resting on my thigh. One max effort "curl" got it on the column.

Needless to say, I have a dull mind and a (used to be) strong back. I do NOT recommend anyone else ever try this!!
