While I'm terrified of angle grinders and demolition saws, for some strange reason, I'm all good using a screaming chainsaw! Go figure?
The thing with chainsaws is to have them sharp as possible, this allows the machine to do the work for you. When the machine is running and cutting efficiently, then the machine is safe. It's when a user starts pushing the machine beyond what its capable of, that's when bad stuff starts to happen.
We had the 40 odd 30 metre tall pines cut down a few weeks back took the 4 man crew 3 day's to clear had a "BIG" chipper to chip the so called small stuff, They told me and the old man not to help because of insurance purposes but he did still keep a eye on them.
The main bloke doing all the cutting had only been doing this sort of work 16 months but they weren't the most talkative, bit rough around the edges type guy's but did a good job
for the money the boss got.

You’ve got a good ratio there Chilly. When I play with designing my own house, it always seems 3/4 garage and 1/4 house. For some reason my wife won’t even pay attention.

No, in this particular development it’s probably 70% 2 story houses
When we were first looking at this particular builder and this development in particular we asked about the demographics
He said the 2 stories were mostly families and the ranch styles were mostly retirees, like us
Momma has a bionic hip and 2 bionic knees so 1 story it is!

100%.
Upper floors are for storing kids.
If (when) we ever sell our 2-story here on LI, my next house house will definitely be a single-level ranch style house.
It is no coincidence that man's best friend cannot talk.
