    Very nice, Ashwatcher! Well built, sir- very sturdy construction. I built mine last summer, and it's held up well through our windy winter.

    And I take that as nothing but a compliment and a place to call home Frank-It's not everyone that understands our passion but to tell the truth, I read everyones unabashed generosity and warmth last night to buy that lady a saw, someone they dont likely know in tough economic times--that sealed the deal for me, I wanted to join this group!

    It is a special group, for sure. And I too, feel lucky to be a part of it. I'm starting to get a little bit pumped for the weekend. Why? Because there's a downed cherry tree with my name on it. Most people would find that odd, but not here. Everyone here knows exactly what I'm talkin about--and that's pretty cool if you ask me!

    Way cool sir-and those that matter in this context understand...and the weather forecast here has me pumped too-my goal is six truck loads, ash maple and beech-I have a little cherry to cut too, downed, but it will have to wait-I never thought this addiction would extend so far-taking vacation days to CSS, looking forward to like my past Tues vacation day 13 hours of labor, checking weather for ideal conditions, etc...gotta love it

    It's a great feeling of accomplishment and something different from the task you routinely do at work. That's the way I look at it. I work harder at home some days than I do at work.

    Scotty, your welcome means a lot-I will share the specs for the shed and as long as my two saws stay butter cut ready, I really dont have further requisition/acquisition desires-I do all I can with the 018-the Farm Boss is heavy! Have really enjoyed learning about Huskys on here though-know they are a great product but I have a Stihl shop nearby that serves me well-I really appreciate all the comments on the woodshed-I'm a design nut and it took me like 4 weeks to build myself with a little help from some friends-non wood burning psycho friends, so it was fun them not understanding its importance-lol

    I have to say, I am shocked so many here are welcoming you at all!!

    Your type is NOT welcome here!!! We have standards and we will NOT allow such riff raff......oh, wait.

    Sorry. I thought the "h" in asHwatcher was an "s". In that case...welcome to the mad house!
