Beam #2 lifted out well enough, but then I had to flip it and slide it over some thick old log so I could reach it with the tractor.

Each beam then needed me to push the tail end around the corner so it would go through the back gate without mowing the post down.

The yard is an absolute mess now, I've patched it a bit with the rake and will compact it down when this is done. Grass always grows back anyways.

Was hoping to get a matching pair of these giant beams and look, I even got a triplet (one came from the main garden cleanup last year). That'll be useful soon.

Next job: Removing the concrete pylons that formed a foundation for a greenhouse that must've collapsed some time ago.

We want our kitchen garden in that area (the soil is great), but a bit further from the big spruce as its roots compete with anything we tried to grow there last year.

The huge concrete beam is a little on the heavy side for my machines. You can see the excavator at tipping point there, but just about lifting it and I did wheelies on the tractor but managed to drag it out the back gate with some tricks.

One more to go.

Pre-jungle season is running out soon. Time to tackle goat pen #3.

Difficult access, the former outdoor service pit was in front of it, which is now just a ditch. I scooped up some dirt and built a causeway, then got rid of the ingrown fence and creeper roots.

Now I can drive the mower into there and keep it from overgrowing again.

The thorny fuckers inside got chipped into the hole and the non-thorny shrubbery got chipped onto the new causeway.

Treasure so far: The usual bunch of steel, a large concrete chunk and enough scrap wood for a few sauna sessions. Some of it even already dry.
