 Posted: 02/05/06 - 08:58 Post subject: I love living in the country
Yesterday id was cold and windy out so what do we decide to do at wtr100 acres? Of course we droppped a couple dead pine trees and did so other yard work!
So I've got three trees down (I lub my new chainsaw, its so much better than the POS my dad buys from Sears) and me and the little wtr's are draging pieces to the burn piles. Neighbor shows up with a tractor with bucket loader. Saved several hours in work!
He helped for a couple hours - cost me 1 cup of coffee and a grilled cheese sandwich!

Never ever buy a cheap tool. Buy as much tool as your budget will allow, you'll never regret it.
I went in to buy a reciprocating saw while Mr Aire was "out of country". The dude at Home Depot was quite condescending and told me, "Someone like you won't need a tool with this much horsepower. Here's a cheaper one."
I looked him in the eye and said, you don't know me like that, GIVE ME THE GOOD ONE and get out of my way.
*or something like that. I did buy the most powerful name brand that I could with my budget--and I love it! Although I'm disappointed there's not enough to saw around here.
