Default After a hurricane, three of my friends with trucks bought chainsaws and began a business in NC...

They called it the "Tree Stooges". They charged reasonable rates and made $$$$$$$$$.

Default Just a fair warning for everyone using a Chain Saw, be extra careful and wear chaps/ eye protection.

You may have all spent a little time cutting up logs, but take it from someone in the forestry industry (logger) chainsaws are notorious for injury even in the hands of preoffessionals who use them everyday. An old rusted nail from 1920 imbedded in a tree can cause that saw to buck and kick out at you.

Just don't want to hear someone got hurt before x-mas! Keep it safe, and hang on tight to it.
