My neighbor, Ms. Tara, had been requesting I take down a tree that is literally on the line separating the two properties (though considered mine). Her concern is it's growing into her chain link fence! A valid concern... so, after checking out the tree and fence, we decided the tree should go. The bad: Losing a small tree. The good: Saving a fence and the opportunity to purchase a chain saw! Woo-hoo! After returning home with new chainsaw (electric) in hand, I was excited to pull it out of the box and get it started... only to find out the chain oil was not included... disappointment! So, after returning from Lowes for the second time, loading it up with oil and making sure tension was just right, I went to town! Was able to take the tree down AND trim up everything to perfect "carry away" size in about an hour! Results: Tree gone. Chain link fence saved. Happy neighbor. -J
