HAUS PLANS ®️ Story of October 18, 2026Trari Newsroom

Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.

Are You Chaining Down Your Equipment Wrong?

The chains need checking, but so does the closing ritual: viewers of HAUS PLANS' equipment-hauling lesson are making sure it includes the customary declaration that nothing is going anywhere.

"Are You Chaining Down Your Equipment Wrong?" is the week's most-watched new upload, reaching roughly 1.5 million views. The contractor explains his four-corner tie-down setup for a Cat machine, works through the ratings of chains, binders and attachment points, and stresses that the weakest component determines each tie-down's capacity. The forks get their own strap, too. Beneath the lesson, viewers discuss extra securement, remember the attachment, and joke about whether the familiar closing words complete the job.

Practical instruction also fills the stair-building upload, a paid Home Depot partnership. Sample flooring helps establish the finished height before the stringer is marked out; clamp-on stair gauges make repeating those marks easier. That video is among the channel's busiest right now, alongside an older subfloor-patching lesson that uses a screw as a temporary handle to position backing beneath a hole.

Then there is the other HAUS PLANS kitchen. An ostrich egg gets opened with a reciprocating saw, beaten with a drill and cooked in a torch-heated skid-steer bucket. The newest upload, a sponsored cider experiment, sends apples through a wood chipper before a custom skid-steer attachment presses out the juice.

Across the channel, the week added nearly 15 million views, the largest weekly gain among its nearby building-and-home peers. Subscribers were unchanged, however, and daily viewing is running at about half its usual level. For all the outsized cooking equipment, the tie-down lesson is currently doing the most work.

You can over secure a load as many times as you want. You can only under secure once.

I don’t think that’s true. Most house cats I’ve seen weigh between 7-9 pounds.

I’m glad you verified the tie down at the end and said the magic words to insure everything was safe.
