I noticed this new hanger after some windstorms right over a trail and decided it had to go! Work has been such a stress fest, I decided to do it the hard way and see what the BR is made of! The sucker was big, but deader than a door nail so i figured, how bad could it be? It's rotted right? Oh, it was hard! Around now, I was thinking I need Vic and his DFLE, Jared and his KZ...or anybody and a chainsaw! This sucker won't come down!! After this I was just hanging on..bailed on the idea of dropping it next to the trail and just hoped I had enough juice to finish the job! Finally! Hear one crack and 5 seconds later down it came! Whew... The victor!! Cleaned up after myself... Ouch! Still looking good!!

[img]http://i432.photobucket.com/albums/qq47/richneal68/IMG_2078.jpg[/img] What a blade and what work!! I am 1/2 destressed...a step in the right direction! Have a good weekend Yard! Careful with those telephone pole sized trees!! Lol! Last edited by RN; 03/30/12 07:34 PM. JYD #109 "I came here for the knives and stayed for the people."

What a blast...and pain...that was!! Good on you for clearing the trail <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> JYD #121 The chief cause of unhappiness and failure is trading what you want most in life for what you want at the moment.

I see it wasn't without some tough going by the looks of your hand . I did the same thing to myself last week . Chopping without removing my ring and my hand ended up as bloodied as your's did . HOLD MY BEER AND WATCH THIS !
