Installing Heavy Beams Alone. Off Grid Outdoor Kitchen Build Ep. 5

The beams I'm using for the off grid outdoor kitchen at the Spur Cabin are too big to handle by myself. They are 6x12 beams, by the way. Heavy! But I'm the only one here and I have to find a way. I thought I could hoist them up with the utility tractor, but not so fast. Plan B...?

Maybe with a little ingenuity and a lot of sore muscle, I can get these beams into place...safely. Maybe!

After a few failed attempts and things falling unexpectedly, I manage to...well, you'll see.

Oh, have you ever eaten Sloppy Bear before? Mmmmm!
