Part of the pile still by the carport

Thankfully, I'm somewhat strong from weight lifting and can carry up to 50 lbs.

Praise the Lord for lifting weights.

But what kind of saw did you use? Was it a hand saw? It’s a curved saw with sort of a gun type handle?

Here are my tools. I think I need to buy a small battery operated saw, and a big wheel barrow.

Now that’s a work out! Sister Benincasa will not use my chainsaws. She uses the same two tools you have posted above. I gave her her own circular saw, but she won’t use it. She uses her hand saw, instead. I finally got her to use her cordless drill. She gave up her old chrome metal corded drill.

It is lots of work. Making me think about upgrading to power tools.

Battery operated chain saw from Echo is one of the best. DeWalt makes one that comes in a close second. Wheelbarrow is an addition to any work place where we have to get things from Dan to Beersheba. Keeping trees trimmed back is a plus, even when we aren't having storms. When you see branches getting too entangled, or too close to the dwelling. They need to be cut down. We still have until December 1 before we are clear from hurricanes. Then we will start watching Utah.

I just noticed those tools are Fiskars. They are carried mostly by Lowes. They make some really nice tools.
