Sunday night some lawn guys tried to cut down a tree, it hit the neighbors house, the lawn guys ran away and this was my Monday project. Trees are dangerous and sometimes unpredictable but this was a skill issue and they ran outta luck

That's a new notch/cut technique to me......

hey we should make a V so that it sits there until it falls of the side it is branch heavy on , hold my jack and coke I got this as he slurs and stumbles.


no notch at all , no hinge either.

makes you wonder if they Only watched the tree disaster videos and never once saw a tree fallen right.

You see it on FB all the time. Every guy with a camera and a chainsaw thinks they’re a sawyer.

I am pretty good with a saw but just learned a new technique

"Watch this" he said, before demonstrating his experimental hinge.

OMG!!! They should not own a chainsaw and no common sense was involved in that event. Job security for you fixing other incompetent peoples issues.

I cut many trees down but still wouldn't do one that close a building. That's what professionals are for.

Cost
consumers and operators extra money.

Any landing you can run away from...

She's my little runaway.

This coulda went bad.

What was the green line attached to? Inquiring minds want to know.....

The longer I look the worse it gets.

that is so bad it might have been finish the first 1/2 liter flat bottle of gut rot whisky give it a toss and crack the second and take a nip before saying , watch this and started sawing back and forth with a dull chain moving the saw like a hand saw to make it go faster.

in actions like this , mixer and beer are just going to water down the buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I'm a little amazed that the saw wasn't still stuck in that cut (I use the term cut loosely).

My 1.8 cube 16" ***** saw can handle 30" wood.
From the pic, plenty good to go.

Runaway Tree, a division of Hack & Slash Roofing.
100% assured.

Glad no one hurt.

I see a line attached to the tree? Notch-cutting abilities notwithstanding, perhaps they should have pulled on that line!

Pete

To a third guy peddling a tricycle furiously. He also ran off....

Kinda why I'd like to know what, if anything, was attached to that line. A 150# guy???? Bet he went for a ride.

I guess they're no Buckin' Billie Ray Smith.

I'm not a chainsaw idiot. Ignorant is the word I use. I'm capable of cutting firewood. Smart enough to hire professionals when I needed two huge soft maples cut down. Huge. Big limbs out over the roof. Bad news waiting to happen.

The guy with the chainsaw was like “screw this guy”!

No problem......I got this!
