I'm A Lumberjack

And I'm Okay.

Today was tree cutting down day.  Four Oak, one Elm and a Birch at the neighbors which had forked into two trees.  We made it without any home or people damage.  We did kill the old faithful Wen chainsaw and had to replace it mid way through the felling of the Birch. We picked up a self oiling, tool-less tension adjusting Homelite 14-inch Electric.  It does well cutting vertically but when turning on it's side, the blade tends to come out of the track.

The kids all pittched in bringing all the braches to the street.  A great job all around.

And it wouldn't have been possible without this video from the Progressive Farmer.
