Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
Here's the situation. We had 80 mph winds last week and I ended up taking down a tree. All I have left to clean up are some of the largest truck portions of the tree (maybe 3 ft diameter) that I need to cut in small enough pieces for me to carry to the wood pile.
