Got myself a chainsaw…

Poulan is offering a little electric for 50.00 that’s big enough for normal householder purposes. Suits me fine. The fence job left us some fairly large branches that need dicing up; and rather than hand-saw them, the little chainsaw does nicely. Hawthorne can produce some fairly hard wood, in its larger branches.

But that’s nasty work: it’s getting through all the brushy little branches that really need the hand loppers that’s a pain in the rear.

So are Poulan’s instructions for ‘is the chain correctly tensioned?’ I took the darned thing apart step by step figuring out yes, it was. Really dim small pix with really vague pointers to what could be a bolt — or not.

Anyway, we are slowly cleaning up. And now when a limb comes down (as happens with big trees) I now have a way to dice it up to fit the garbage cans.
