we lifted a 26' long, 8"x12" engineered ridge-beam down a 15' enbankment and then up 14' to the center of the master bedroom... then we put in 36 4"x8" joists into place and then nailed them in.
i was watching this special on the discovery times channel about the south african special police task force (their version of SWAT)...but they're more like military commandos....they showed their recruiting and training...it was fuggin' insane
one element of it was an 80 hour forced march on no food and no sleep...first four hours they had to huff it with a rucksack which was then traded for a 120 lb section of railroad track with a metal ball hanging from one side by a metal wire...they had to carry that weight on their backs for 8 hours at night...and the thing is set up with the ball to make it so there is really no comfortable way of carrying the shiet...
it was fuggin' brutal dood...
