    So an update on my first chainsaw purchase and use.

    I did not die.

    But my back tells me I need a sawbuck. IMG_20170401_144846.jpg IMG_20170623_130121.jpg

    Nice wood piles. Did you just buy wood before owning your new saw?

    Yes indeed a sawbuck can be a good thing and a back saver. Congratulations on the new saw too.

    Actually I am so cheap that I am just using vapour barrier. I expect to swap it out in a couple of years due to uv damage. But I had a roll laying about so it was cheaper than real roofing.

    When you already have it, no reason not to use it. I doubt 2 years in the sun but it is better than nothing.
