    Guys, I don't know what to say. The people on this board are truly awesome. I have never experience such caring and generous people before on a forum.

    Big Huge Hugs to everyone

    That saw would get $400 all day here on CL. The 290 is a very respectable machine and would serve anyone making firewood well.

    I'll throw down $25 to help out.

    Keep in mind that the 290 is not exactly a lightweight saw.
    That being said, it will cut considerably faster than that poulan you used for a bit, so the weight difference may be fine because you'll cut up the wood in half the time.

    And yeah, most of this crowd are pretty good folks, and trusting to a fault. We can definitely fix you up with a nice saw on the cheap.

    That being said, if you decide the 290 is too heavy for you, let me know. I may have another option, just under 11 lbs.

    So we have seven $25 donors?

    I will start a PM in a bit with everyone to facilitate payment to WaddleRemodel. If this is a saw that Kimberly would consider?

    The Farm boss 290 is a very reliable saw and should last plenty long enough (with good mix/fuel).

    Double wowo_O I will throw in the shipping from my place and will have the 5 chains sharpened. This saw has done everything I have asked of it. New air filter, Spark plug and fuel filter.

    What a great place this FHC is:campfire:

    Hi guys, I am just overwhelmed here; I can not thank everyone enough. This is just so awesome and it has me in tears. I just don't know what to say; words don't do justice. Thanks everyone so much, hopefully I will be able to return the generosity I have encountered here. You guys are the best.

    That would be a nice feature. We can mass email, but not tag.

    The mass PM with all who have chosen to donate, will come tonight after my Son's Scout meeting. I will include Waddle and Kim in it as well to facilitate his payment.

    The members here are great! Awesome job Eric VW

    Late to the party (you guys stay up too late for this old man) and had a looong day so just popped in on this thread.

    I'm good for $25. Good on you all. :thumbs:

    You could put it in the title of a new thread, with a link to this thread. That should get the word out, more :binoculars:on it.

    This is the oil to mix into the fuel? That is so nice of you to offer; I can send money for shipping if you let me know.

    I said it before but I am overwhelmed by the generosity; I wish I could give everyone a big huge hug.
