Today i had the steels delivered

In the past I’ve manhandled them with a few mates

This time due to the height (3000)

and advancing years I hired a Genie 55 quid well spent with the help of the two steel guys we placed the steels on trestles under where they where going

This allowed me to bolt them together and bolt Timbers in

Unlikely previous times

Once all the Timbers where bolted in

It was a one man job to lift and drop them in position

In fact, raising a house is not as expensive as many might think.

It looks a bit damp, but not bad for this stage of work. You could use Loler Testing In London (https://teamliftingsolutions.co.uk/loler-testing-kent-and-london/) for easier implementation. For example, if you connect beams between the left and right steel beams, you could really just as well cut them in and put them on the steel and noggin between them. I used Team Lifting Solutions to do Loler certification on Genie lifts, chains, and slings. The engineers were thorough, knowledgeable, and professional. They provided all my future work, and I highly recommend them.
