You live in Maine without a chainsaw?

Seriously? I thought they were included in a new mom's maternity gift basket in hospitals from Augusta north ... gotta start the ankle biters off right 👍

Yeah but they only give you the dinky electric ones, your parents are supposed to upgrade you to a gas power one when you're old enough.

I've got a one in my storage unit but never thought to keep one at my apartment. Lesson learned.

And of course a tree is going to get in your way to getting your chainsaw.

I don't have one personally but I live next door to my parents who own one.

P.S. Have you noticed residential grade chainsaws these days are pretty much disposable junk?

Yes they are junk - plus if you don't use them often enough the carb gets gunked up. I'm looking to get a Milwaukee battery operated chainsaw for that reason.

I love my battery powered chainsaw. Super awesome except on days like today where we lost power. Shrug.
