My Air Force neighbor got assigned for 2 years in California. He rented his house out through a property management company (his future ex wife insisted). He had this old dead oak tree come down recently. The property management company sent him a price of $900 to cut up and remove the tree. It was in his back yard so I used a wheelbarrow and it still only took me 40 minutes total to cut and load in my truck. Wood is very rotted and surprisingly light so I will just burn it in my wood boiler but holy moly, what a rip off!! I told him to buy me dinner and a few beers next time he’s in town and we’re even.
That was a neighborly thing for you to do. I don't know how some folks sleep at night. On their well padded checkbooks, apparently.
Can we get a copy of this invoice? For future reference for the roadside hoarders here? To show the owners what they can save by giving the wood away?
It's crazy what some people/entity's can get away with. I'm sure the property management company would've gotten some of the $900. Typical middle man.
Here's another Rip-off. Don't know if any members have a saw from them, but might better beware. I saw their tent at the Paul Bunyan Show last year, with some big names promoting them...that doesn't mean they're better...https://www.facebook.com/share/v/1Hm7nBwnsr/
When I click the link, it just takes me to a Facebook "Chainsaw Repair" group front page with a list of rules, etc. for the group. I guess you have to join to see individual posts?

Welcome to New Jersey!!! Boy, I hope he had some Vasoline ready for that if you didn't save him!!! Great Job! Sadly, he's going to California!!! It isn't any better there....
It does. For some reason, Ripsaw was the first thing I thought of when I read your earlier post. I've not heard anything good about them from folks who actually know saws.
Some of those guys need 3K a day to stay in business. Insurance alone here in Ma sucks, I can't imagine it's any better in NJ.
Modded saws are great, i have a Stihl 462. It was built by an Oregon guy who does great work and is very humble.( he does not have a U tube channel LOL). I do notice a ported saw is alot more sensitive to a dull chain or low quality fuel. I didnt know BBR was mixed up with Ripsaw.
Yes sir, modded saws are great, we have 5 already, with the 6th one at the builder now, he's very humble, does great work and I highly recommend him. Also a FHC member.
