Sodas? Next to zero. Not my bag. I drink way to much booze, but I admit that.How many a day do you drink?1/month? You and the breastfeeding mother have slipped outside twice since you moved in. And these are the only ones you've told us about.'Otis said:The occasional (I've probably averaged one per month) cigarette is WAY less harmful than the 32 ounces of sludge you people ingest daily. Same goes for a casual cigar smoker.'lumpy19 said:I agree.....after reading the cola thread and then seeing he has the occasional cigarette....the cola thread is way funnier.'TLEF316 said:You smoke? Really?After all that crap about cola killing us (I don't drink it anyways) you smoke cigs?I can't say I'm totally surprised, but I am a tad disappointed

Hope Oatis is having fun Cuz, I was a little inspired by this thread and cut down a few small trees and branches - Easily with my SAWZALL.... Tried FIL's electric chain saw but, it kinda sucked.
I'm beat and my alergies are killing me - At least the mosquitos aren't out yet!!!

Otis, don't buy a chainsaw. Rent one from Sunbelt rentals for this one time.
Everything else like branches and stuff can be handled with a sawzall, as mentioned above.
There is a blade for the sawzall called "the Ugly" that I highly recommend for cutting branches, roots, etc.
You'll get a lot more use out of the sawzall than a chain saw IMO.

Please have video...please have video
I currently have a 1' x 1' x 2' hole dug trying to discover where my ####### sprinkler is leaking. Extremely dense, root infested, clay soil/mud. It was especially fun scooping the water out the hole 3 times before I found the issue. Good times. Yay home ownership!

I should have taken some more before and after pics and other video, but yesterday ended up being super hectic and busy. I had a bunch of guys over pitching in, and we must have taken down 6 or 7 trees, a few of them decent sized, pruned a few others, and about as many large bushes. Also took out a fence and raked out a lot of the hillside. Video above is of one of the smaller trees coming down -- that blue fir seemed awful nice, but as we started to take down trees and bushes, we just got trigger happy. Now the view from the house down to the road is so much more open, and the same goes for the view from the road -- you can actually see a house now. But we took down bigger, including the birch right next to the house, and one of the big puppies on the hill.
All in all, a highly successful day. We cut up some of these to keep as firewood, but right now the entire front lawn is covered with trees and bushes waist high. I guess we didn't think through the part where we get rid of all this crap somehow. Planning to get a landscaping crew in one day this week both to haul all the crap and to give the entire property a good once over.
That chainsaw was the best thing I've ever bought. We dug a couple of trees out from the roots, but that was backbreaking work. Chainsaw was a breeze.

Apparently Otis moved to the suburb where you hear sirens all day.

What's so funny to me, well besides the electric cord connected to a chainsaw, is he cuts down this awesome and innocent little Christmas tree so perfect for decorating above the driveway and in middle of all those ugly offensive trunks. Wth, Otis!?

I had no idea they made "electric" chainsaws. Otis....educating the masses

I landed a hot wife and have a kid. What motivation do i have to be an ironman at this point? I'll never understand the workout nerds in all those 5k and triathlon threads.

We got a little trigger happy I think. I miss the Christmas tree already.

Thing was fantastic. Chain popped off and caused several maintenance delays, but it cost 50 bucks or something like that and we got that much use out of it in a single day. Great stuff.I had no idea they made "electric" chainsaws. Otis....educating the masses

How come you are removing the trees?

Who could have predicted that you'd think better of it later? Impossible to see that coming, imo.We got a little trigger happy I think. I miss the Christmas tree already.

I didn't, but that's because I was busy breaking all the windows in my house. I haven't lived here long, but I can't see why I'd want windows. I have a much better view now without that useless glass in the way.

Heard the siren going and I figured "Someone knows what's coming..." until I saw him start taking down the dwarf conifer.

Yeah, i really don't get the obsession with removing all the trees. I get that some of the shrubbery and other miscellaneous plants might be ugly and annoying to deal with, but not the trees. Other than the occasional trimming of a nuisance branch and the leaf cleanup, they don't really cause any harm. They're what give a neighborhood and a house character IMO. I would think that most people would enjoy the privacy. When i own a house (right now, I'm just in a condo) I imagine I'd enjoy the privacy.
If Oats wanted to move to a development with wide open lawns and cookie cutter landscaping (This place, for example) there are thousands of developments within a reasonable commute to NYC that he could have looked at.

I never cut down evergreens. In the middle of winter, it's nice to see a pine tree thriving. Plant another oneWe got a little trigger happy I think. I miss the Christmas tree already.

It's the timimg of it that gets me. Why not lop it in December and use it as a Christmas tree or Hanukkah bush or Kwanzaa fir or whatever? Especially with trees going for about $20 a foot out that way.I never cut down evergreens. In the middle of winter, it's nice to see a pine tree thriving.

Taking lots of heat over cutting down this christmas tree. It's actually a decent tree, but it was not placed well. If we want a big christmas tree out there we one day plant one in a better spot -- not front and center blocking the view out the window. Do you guys generally surround your homes with bushes and trees covering all the windows? The people who have lived here in recent years did a crappy job with a lot of things. It's a great house and location, but it needs a lot of TLC and polish. There was little maintenance and bad decisions about decorating, landscaping, and a lot of other things. Everyone who was here yesterday agreed that it looks a brzillion times better out front after all the effort. Big wars sometimes involve casualties, gentlemen.I never cut down evergreens.

That's like a 3 million dollar house. It hasn't said, but I'm not getting the impression that's what he paid.
