So as you know from an earlier post, we have a large collection of recovered old fir wood beams. They are all going to be used for different purposes, but this first batch we are cutting up into 2x4's.
Curt has had this guy watching over them for the last few years. I'm not sure how much good it does, but he does seem to enjoy his job.
First I had to take my mom's metal detector and go over all of the beams and mark where there were nails. Curt then pulled them out. If the portable mill hits a nail, it's 30.00. So it's best to get rid of them now!
Then Curt had to come up with a great way to move them into the drive way. You can see the pully set up above the beams.
He tied a strap around the middle of the beam.
Hooked it up to the pully.
And walked it across the driveway.
Depositing it into a new pile. This too quite a while I might add.
I found a much funner use for the cable. Zip line!!!
