Of all the awesome tools of the world, the chainsaw is one of the awesomest. The One Hundred Ton Crane may be bigger, The Ninety Pound Jack Hammer may be more painful, but the chain saw, just in terms of risk of personal injury alone, is in a class by itself.
I was watching my neighbors take down a small tree. The dad was on a step ladder with the saw held horizontally at neck height. The mom was working the rope, pulling the soon to fall tree directly towards herself. He was yelling something and she was yelling something. They live, or used to live, a few blocks away. I haven't seen them since , but their dog is still in the yard so I assume they survived.
I just got a yard sale saw. A whopper.44cc. with a thirty inch bar. Honey, get the rope.
