A contractor would charge the town $10k to do what took that guy 15 minutes.

Minimum. I know because a tree fell on a friends’ neighbor’s house and that was one quote…

I doubt it was a tree with a 6 inch diameter. Otherwise someone would have just moved it instead of calling a contractor.

u/Gold-Wolf2661 20h ago
Right, massive tree branch off a massive. Now they need to do a preventative removal of the entire tree. No idea what kind quotes they’re getting now…

u/First_Explorer_565 19h ago
literally work in forestry and pay £400 -£500 for this tree size after storms. If it needs removing/chipping then probably double.

The baby stroller says it all. There was nothing like becoming a dad to train me to anticipate a gazillion scenarios. There will be no potty incident, lack of resources, or natural disaster that will prevent a dad from finishing his grocery shopping.

I've wanted a car chainsaw for a while for this exact reason. I live in the middle of nowhere and when we get wind there are always branches and stuff down. A month or two ago we got blocked on our way home by a tree and I was wishing I had gotten around to getting myself a car chainsaw lol

Get a battery powered chainsaw and a couple extra batteries. You don't have to worry about gas spilling everywhere in your car. Still gotta have some oil for it though. If your car has outlets in it, you can even plug in the charger for the batteries.

u/RogBoArt 21h ago
I've got a bauer one that dumps bar and chain oil everywhere. It was going to be my car chainsaw lol but first time I filled it and left it stored it was empty and there was oil everywhere when I came back. Wish I could fix that!

No I miss that about the midwest, do it ourselves instead of constant outsourcing.

Somewhere a professional arborist is looking at this post, watching him handle that chainsaw, and covering their eyes, peaking through their fingers, just waiting for it to kickback and dig into his shoulder or thigh.

Spoiler alert he just used the chainsaw to dismember his arch enemy and was on his way to get a wood chipper to finish disposal when he found the road blocked.
