I'm pleased to say yesterday I used my chain block to lift a 5 meter steel beam into place. Really, I'd been mentally planning this job for a year or two. I sourced a steel beam, cleaned it up and welded about a dozen cleats to it for supporting floor joists, and painted it with epoxy.

The chain block was good because it raised so slowly I could make sure I didn't wipe out electrical wiring, smash windows etc.

Well, I've knocked plenty dead wearing heels, but only figuratively. ;*

It actually worked pretty well! I call it the lawsuit waiting to happen.



Next up! My new Milwaukee 10-1/4" circular saw. I have 4x6's to cut tails on and didn't want to cut, flip, and cut again.

Cordless drill out in the field, drilling holes through the frame of a hay wagon in order to mount a hitch so I could tow the other wagon behind. Had to sharpen the drill bit a couple of times, so I guess you could mention the grinding wheel too.
