Even cooler! Raised two of the tower walls today, with Kirk helping myself, Danny, & Tom. A little hairy, getting the wall jacks (16ft. tall) on top of the 10' x 15' platform (which has a 5' x 5' opening in it for a spiral staircase), and raising an 8' x 15' wall - not alot of room to work!


Even cooler looking from down under the cliff.

Lifting a wall with our magical Tranzporter Wall Jacks

Looking from bedroom wing to living-dining-kitchen















View from the North













The garage header finally in place - not as bad a lift as we thought - 3 - 16" LVL's almost 19 feet long.

Rising majestically out of the desert, the big 44 ft. wall went up this morning without a hitch, Danny & Kofi pumping the jacks while I stood around and worried and Joan took video. Only 2 exterior walls to go. Then a garage header, beam for the tower, interior walls, etc. etc.

Dining room walls framed, and a view out the "Grand Mesa Window".
The "Tranzporter" Wall Jacks are awesome, very little effort to lift heavy walls. We'll get some action shots when we raise the 44 footer!
