I thought it was hard to haul cement into the bush



I knew I was in trouble when it took 3 of us to move the beams 10' onto the trailer. The beams are 24' long, 8" x 10". When I put them on the trailer and had my friend Homer bring them to the yard, he sank out of sight into the front yard. I thought I could enlist the help of 8-10 strong people but realized that it would have been really difficult work. Time for a back up plan. As I have been suggesting to Bax, when you muscles are not strong enough, use physics.




First step is to tie a block high up on a strong tree. Then tie one end to the beam, through the block and back to the Toyo.



















This was the first haul, now we have a dog leg to the right, add a another block, a 500' rope and voila.
