Well, I am still here and all the cedars that were up in the wires are gone. With only three trees left (by far the biggest and most dangerous being one was growing into the transformer) the power company called and said they would send a man out to look at the remaining trees. They said he might just lower the line and let me cut the trees or he might decided to top them out himself. I met him at nine in the morning, one man with a bucket truck. He looked at the trees and decided because of all the lines involved it would be much better for him to top out the trees from up in his bucket. He had a sawz all type saw, and it worked pretty well on the really small stuff, but he broke several blades and went through three batteries. I had destroyed my bar and chain, and was not able to get a replacement in time, but the chain saw dealer let me borrow (really nice man) a battery powered chain saw, when he realized he was not going to be able to get me a bar and chain in time for me to be there with it when the power company arrived. I had used it to finish up three trees before the power company man arrived. I told him he was welcome to use the saw and that it had really impressed me with its cutting ability. He agreed to try it and he liked it so well when he finished cutting the tops out, he continued cutting with it until the three trees were cut way down,. I finished cutting those three trees down the rest of the way and trimmed up everything and finished just as the battery was dying. I did appreciate the borrowed saw. I do have a new bar and chain on order, but they got the wrong one the first time, now they have discovered they can't get the right bar, so I am hoping to be able to make some changes and switch over to a more readily available bar and chain.
