These logs, plus the cost of the new saw were cheaper than buying the same amount wood already cut and split. There is more than a winter's worth of wood here, plus I get to keep the chain saw! My buddy picked it out, and it was $200 more than I would have spent, but it will last, aside from doing a better job with less vibration.
Tomorrow Adam, the buddy mentioned above is coming buy for a few hours. I said, "no problem, I can handle it myself from here," but he was first to fire up the saw yesterday, and he obviously can't wait to play with it! But now, I'll let the pictures do the talking, it's pretty straight forward...










The "woman's brain" is Donna taking credit for the title--it's her words, not mine! Apparently complimentary!
