Pulling 12 hour days at this one clients place, what starts off as one thing ends up branching off to something else. Wanted a driveway put in, found out what my loader can do now I have done a driveway and taken a hillside out to put a firebreak in.
Found out I sell/deliver water, now I'm digging a hole to put a water tank in, picking up a 1500 gallon water tank and filling it. I can imagine this is going to snowball when I bring the excavator out to level a house pad out, dig the water tank hole and see how fast it goes with all the grade lasers and such.
A good workman is worthy of his hire (pay).
:thumbsup

I just want someone to do the job right, the first time. I'm hoping a friend with a chainsaw can help with this:

It came down while I was on vacation, and is at least 20' long, looks puny in the photo. It would take a while to cut it up with my reciprocating saw!

Me thinks you need a chainsaw :D =D, love mine. Battery powered and is plenty for the work around here.

I don't want one. I have a circular saw that I use, as needed, but I am very uncomfortable while using it. I would rarely use a chain saw.

My reciprocating saw is different.

I'm with you on the chain saw... just not my thing. The only saving grace on the battery one,,, it immediately stops when you let off... Give me a rank, difficult cow or bull or calf ANYDAY....
I'm just not one much on all these power hand tools...Probably because I just don't enjoy using them. Deb likes to do things with hand power tools..Not saying they aren't good to make many jobs easier or faster... they do. For most people that use them.

Ran a chainsaw (Husqvarana 460 Rancher) to take half mile worth of trees and branches down on each side of the road last Thursday to fit the dump truck down the road I am dumping rock on. So bad my pickup truck was getting the mirrors knocked around (hence the 12 hour days) Laid 10 loads of rock down today, 4 yesterday. Bet the neighbors down below got wore out watching me going back and forth 20 times.

Coffee is ready. On second cup.
At least Sammy is house broke. I put them outside as much as possible. Son came in yesterday afternoon, I was gone to visit friends. So he put dogs out and took a nap. I came in about dark, did chores. I left the dogs outside until we went to bed after 11. Dogs were exhausted, went right to crates and went to sleep. 💤 Hahahaha.

Slept until 7am today -- didn't even hear roos at daybreak! But to bed late -- made another pot of cheese and didn't finish until 11:30. Filled dishwasher, turned it on & went to bed. Productive day, all day. Will take a little slower today.

HIgh temps held off last week, staying in 80s. But they're saying high 90s with heat indices to 105. 😳 Gonna be sweltering! Doesn't cool much at night either.

I set out extra water tubs, everywhere!
