I was going through my YouTube analytics and I got a crazy amount of watched minutes from this site on my last post! Thank you whoever watched without skipping ahead to much!! 
Because of that I will keep dropping vids here and there until you grow weary of it.
TL;DR Backstory: I sold my sled (amongst a bunch of other things) to pay for this venture. I lost my job in the downturn and would have to emigrate to Australia to stay in my field. Instead, I bought a giant machine tool (Haas VF3) and I am gonna make parts in my garage. My next round of prototyping parts was $20K so I bought this machine for $12K. It doesn't fit in my garage so I have to lift it up...about 4 feet. The faster I make parts the faster I get my sled back. I am super unhappy I had to sell it, so I am keeping the blinders on for this project.
This is the video where I lift a building....alone....with bottle jacks.
