The Oak Tree

It all started with the sound of limbs crashing onto my roof from an old oak tree that actually should have been cut down two years ago. So I told my wife, we'd better get some estimates on getting that big boy taken out. The estimates were shocking to me. The first one was $1200 and the second and third was even higher and that was just to take it down and cut it up and I would still have to get rid of the brush and wood. I thought I was going to go into cardiac arrest. What were these people thinking? So the very next day I go out and buy a beauty of a chainsaw $500,a smaller chainsaw for cutting the smaller limbs $175, and a 150 foot rope to just make sure it fell the way I wanted it to $75, a come along winch $75, a maul and splitting wedge and several other tools $100, and two guys to help $250 dollars. HMMM let see that's about $1350

Yeah their estimates were about right!

ANYBODY NEED ANY WOOD?
Just Saying !
