Sorry for the off topicness, but y'all represent over a thousand years of
collective life experience. Depending on just how big the GMCNet is, it
might be a few tens of millennia. Now that I've made y'all feel old, here
is my question.

I have 4.6 acres of "volunteer pine." These are loblolly pine, 70 feet high
or therebouts, maybe 8 to 10 inches across at breast height. Also, a bunch
of trashwood like oak and hickory and the like.

It's too small a tract for a logger or pulpwood operation. I can't even
GIVE the trees away.

But I can't sell the land when it's full of trees. You can't even see what
you're buying. If I clear it, it'll make excellent mobile home sites.

But nobody will come clear it.

If I can get the trees gone, I can pay a guy to use one of THESE
http://youtu.be/dpgPsQIq7_w to clear my property. It's called a mulcher and
it looks like a ton of fun. :)

SInce nobody will take my trees, I reckon I may as well cut them down
myself.

Dana is convinced that I will cut my own damn legs off, or lose fingers, or
something. Yeah, sure a chainsaw is dangerous, but with the proper care and
technique, it ought to minimize the hazard.

How dangerous, really, would logging off my own property be with a
chainsaw? It would make the land much more valuable, and I'm trying to sell
it. What can I say to convince my wife that I won't make a widow out of her?

ObGMC Content: WIth the Palm Beach fixed up, I would have something to work
out of on the property! :)
