A nice day to chop some logs

[Rustington]

I quite enjoy the chopping.

 

My “un-processable” pile needs to get bigger before I can warrant a chainsaw purchase 😂

Might as well get the terminology right, then you can hang around in bars and impress tree workers.

 

  You’re ‘splitting’ the logs

It helps if you wear women's clothing too, apparently...

Practically de rigeur I’m told.

Clearly still an amateur

No. Our old Victorian house is called Rustington. Not sure if there’s any connection.

I have a small pile like that but I have a couple of chainsaws, so I just leave them until I have some limbs to cut to length at home and do it all together and that's this mornings job. 

 

If you don't cut a lot and also don't want to annoy your neighbours I thoroughly recommend an electric chainsaw.

Looks like he is cutting at home (in reach of a mains cable) so a mains powered saw would be a good choice.  Both for purchase price and maintenance (basically none beyond keeping the chain sharp and the oil full).

Agreed. And considering that Screwfix are offering them from £50, it shouldn't be too fiscally imprudent.
