This afternoon got around at last to taking top off a large tree - which is part ways dead and uncomfortably close to shop, office etc at bottom of yard.
Main thing was to take off two quite large sections .. so with step son's help ... roped up as high as we could reach then ..... up I go twice on ladder with chain saw - to make the cuts below that, he keeping strain on rope from a distance to control any premature fall.
Both worked out just fine but ..... warm enough for T shirt ..... and so piece was (as often, at home) just open carry.
Hmmmm ...... end of the operation found hammer slot well filled with shavings and wood dust!!! I was el stupido ... shoulda removed piece or had it covered ... Duh!! :banghead:
Stripped it and used compressed air to blow out any residue and gave thoro clean ... all is well now.
So - moral of this is ....... take it off or keep it covered!!
My ineptitude quite amazes me at times!!
