ICF Mountain Homestead Build: Setting the Basement LVL Beam

In the mountains of Appalachia, the next challenge with our ICF house build is to assemble, lift and set the main support beam into the basement beam pockets. This is a 3 ply, 41 foot long, LVL that weighs almost 800 pounds.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Guildbrook Farm is an off grid, modern homestead located in the foothills of Appalachia. We take you along on our journey to become more self reliant by growing an organic garden, raising heritage breed chickens and pigs, improve our skills in canning and food preservation, building off the grid renewable energy systems, prepping for events such as natural disasters, and learning old time skills. Join us as we build an off-grid cabin and homestead from raw land while remaining debt-free. Follow our successes and failures as we learn to live a more simple, sustainable lifestyle.

Thanks for watching!

Jeremy, Jaime, Marina, and Ilaria ❤️
