    Holy Mackerel! I give you permission to purchase a bigger saw, asap (in case spouse requires justification). It will pay for itself in savings in heating costs from just that tree.

    That is a nice one to be cutting. Wat was the reason for dropping it? It looks healthy.

    Gonna build a new shop/garage and tree would have been in the way, plus looked like it was starting to rot at the bottom
