Got Mr. Beam moved. Schlepped a long wire rope from the grain store, massive 20mm ø. An hour undoing a stupid knot in the middle of it with steel spikes and hammer. Long enough to reach a distant spruce with the 3 ton hand winch.

It moved but this pace got boring fast, so I used the tractor to pull sideways at the midpoint of the tensioned rope. That moved it much faster!

The soil there was much more solid, so I could pull it by tractor the rest of the way.

Had two cold nights, so I was out poking the mud with a stick to see if it's frozen deep enough to try pulling that concrete beam again.

Nope, only top 1-2cm. I did sort through the steel pile yesterday. Found some wheels, but no two matching ones, nor anything resembling a wheel bearing or suitable axle.

Some other treasures though. Like a human powered plow. And a chair frame. Some wedges. And a ... wtf is that. Welding table?

Ok, giving up for now. I'll check how long I need the beam to be for the sawmill foundation and then I'll cut it into parts.

It's just too heavy to pull from the soft soil there. Dug over half the yard with the wheels. Broke off the concrete crown with the chain. Even fetched the stone sled from the forest and winched it onto that (actually winched the sled under the beam, because beam don't move). Even with that it won't budge more than a few mm at a time.

Oh nice, my favourite Latvian Youtuber also fixed his driveway with woodchips.

Has a video showing after and before: youtube.com/watch?v=YT2dzGa6XW

You need to renew them occasionally, but then the same applies to gravel, only gravel sucks otherwise and does not biodegrade into fertilizer, it just sinks in and makes grass grow on top but very poorly, which is the situation whe have now (there's old gravel underneath most of our grass/mud).

So far today we've moved our 8ft x 6ft shed 50 feet down our yard to reclaim a sunny area. I also cut down another tree, about 9 inches in diameter. Just a normal day around the Harper homestead lately. My beehives will go where the shed was located along with a raised bed. Later after we drop the kid off for a birthday party we're probably building our raised garden beds.

Have a wonderful Sunday friends!

Picked up the rest of the two fallen birches from the bottom of the road. The parts not frozen to the ground anyways.

Lots more fallen and hanging trees to clean up.

The pile grows!

Been looking at a PTO shredder for the tractor to process the piles of branches I've been leaving everywhere. Good stuff when mulched. Less so when piled up in the forest. Burning is dumb.

There's a nice one from Poland:

Need a sponsor 😛

At last, my air nozzle and tyre inflator. Almost bought new ones after I couldn't find them.

Took tidying up the extra room, which I used as temporary workshop, wardrobe, seedling spawning and dumping place for all the boxes we moved over and didn't quite get sorted, plus all the new crap we bought and haven't installed yet.

So since October a massive mess grew there. Finally used some sunny weather+coffee+nice food energy to tidy up.

I was walking around the valley looking for a tree with just the right branch to use for a roof support. No luck really. Can't say I was particularly sneaky either.

But looking behind the old barn down there I caught this fox having a nap. I got within 2 meters before even noticing it. It never woke up the whole time, or was very good at faking sleep!

I took a photo (badly, thanks Mediatek) and snuck away again. I Gimped it up a bit for you.
