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.

A stubborn concrete beam is connected by a chain around it to a long, thick wire rope that leads off into the distance to a far away tree near a house. Lots of churned up half frozen mud is all around.
At the other end, a thick cargo strap is led around a tree and connected to a 3 ton hand winch that pulls the wire rope with a short chain extension. The rope is tensioned and suspended in the air.
Mr. Beam, now completely out of the garden, resting alongside a fence before being rehitched to get pulled from the other end. The sun shines through some puffy clouds.

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?

A bunch of steel parts resting on top of a steel clad trailer. There's a pipe frame from a chair (just add seat and backrest), a small plow with one handle for pulling from the front and a second handle for steering from the back. A couple well used steel wedges tied into a bundle with some string. And a contraption with a thick steel plate with three holes at the top, with four flimsy legs added and poorly joined together with some thin rod, some of which has broken. The top plate has welding marks and practice welds on it.

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.

Infernal concrete beam, now with the concrete crown shattered in two pieces, exposing a thick steel pipe, steel plate and four nuts holding the pre-stressed reinforcements together. A piece of thick chain, pickaxe and thick wire rope are laying around.
Pulling the beam sideways out of its groove worked, but did not improve things greatly. Here the tractor is in the garden, pulling at a 90 degree angle and the beam has left its slot in the dirt over the entire length.
The problem. The tractor is hitched to the beam with a thick chain. The tyres are dug deep into the soft and moist soil there. Lifting the three point hitch up and down does sometimes gain a few cms but not enough. It's just not enough traction.
A final attempt, with an old home welded steel sled for dragging behind a tractor while workers toss fieldstones onto the sled for retrieval. Here a hand winch is trying to pull the beam over an old plow share set up as a ramp onto the sled with the chain. This worked, except the winch pulled tractor and sled backwards under the beam, which did not budge.

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!

The color blue/green represents a low visibility of the kraal vectors as lines from the dwelling structures, while brown represents a high visibility of the kraal vectors from the dwelling structures, as generated from the Viewshed analysis tool

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 😛

Small blue tractor with small trailer in the forest, loaded with some birch logs. The forest is thin birches growing in swampy soil near a river. There's lots of hanging trees visible and the sun shining low over the tops. Snow is on the ground, and a pile of branches behind the trailer.
A pile of split firewood in front of a barn. The evening sun is shining on it, casting it in a nice reddish light. The ground behind is covered with chips and sawdust.

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.

A compressor air pistol and tyre inflator with pressure gauge. They sit on a plastic storage crate with other stuff inside.

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.

A fox napping at the corner of an old barn, below an old door, in an area free from snow, making its coat hide it much better than if it were on the snow. There's some trees and snow around.
Same photo, zoomed into the fox. You can clearly see it's rolled up like a browser logo and its face is tucked into the red fur. The black ear tips are sticking out, clearly visible, but not good enough to hear a homestead stomping around in boots.
