As many of you probably know, I am still slowly recovering from Hurricane Isabel. I have finally removed the remains of my shed, and I am making good progress on splitting the wood left over from the downed trees. This weekend I decided to do something about the large stump from one of the trees. It was too big to pull out, and would have taken a LOT of effort and digging, and using the chainsaw in the dirt to remove. So I did what any other red-blooded American would do… I made it into a chair, with an armrest, and a beer holder.

Of course to make this happen I had to do many things with my chainsaw that my user manual warned could result in grievous bodily harm and/or death. In other words don’t try this at home, or at least don’t try this in my yard where I may be found liable. For info on the correct way to use your chainsaw, here is a great guide.

Now if I can just get some sort of shed up in the yard I will be about done with this recovery process. Hopefully, just in time to get behind on my spring and summer yard work.
