Saturday, we won a nice little "Homelite Chainsaw Homeowner Size In Carry Case XEL10" for $9. (It's about $90 new.) This was a good win since I need a small chainsaw to deal with hundreds of small trees ranging in height from 2' to 15' and coming up everywhere. Gas powered chainsaws are too heavy for this sort of work. Just walking from tree to tree with a 15 lb saw will wear you out - not to mention trying to start it while lying on the ground beneath what's essentially a Christmas tree.

On the down side, many of the trees I want gone are too far away for an electric chainsaw. Extension cords only go so far! Even if I use two (yeah, I know the risks) I can't reach all of them unless I lug a generator around.

It comes with an extra chain - which is good since finding replacements may be difficult. Homelite is the old Sears brand, I think, and I'm having a surprisingly difficult time finding chains for the XEL10.

I also won a pair of plastic sawhorses for $13. The wooden ones I made a few years ago rotted away. I guess I shouldn't have left them out in the weather. Sawhorse sets range from $30 to $70 on Amazon. I don't know enough about these two to price them any better than that. I'll pick 'em up on Tuesday.
