I'm impressed. Sounds to me like you are "Made in the USA".

I see that you are still CLUELESS!!!!
Guess you didn't learn anything from getting banned.
Might try doing some reading, instead of posting all that trash.

he told you why.
He's an engineer. Everyone I've met has been a dollar chasing a dime.
Gotta give him credit for trying and not getting hurt. Never saw a pic of the saws he bought though.

Whats your time worth? Dont forget to minus that off your total. You your wife and whom ever helped. A veteran could have put those trees on the ground in hours and left the clean up for you. The stump at 15hrs. Average americans time is worth 13.50 an hour. You beaing an engineer ummm maybe $25-30...in your off time. Thats a spendy stump. Now things went well but if you had one slip $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. NOW that I'm done critiquing. Job well done. I see some sketchy practices but overall, kickass job dude. The fact you did research instead of call up tree companys and asked " What would you do in this application" then try to replicate it, is great. THE BIGGEST DEAL IS...... look at the size of those dozer trees guys. These arent backyard maple whips fellas. These are heavy boys.
Good job and hats off for manning up. As far as time go's your in the woods working with your hands and the wifey is by your side. PRICELESS :cool2:

I'm guessing his employer values his time in the $30-60/hr range, but that's obviously different than how he values his personal time.
Lots of engineers sit at a desk/conference room table all day and most of the output of their work is rarely something you can touch/feel/say "hey I did that" to the non-engineer. Lots of professional arborists bust their ass all day and are physically exhausted most days after work. Engineers read, listen, think, type, etc. Its mentally exhausting but there is often plenty of physical energy left at the end of the day. That leaves lots of engineers with the energy to persue something physical/tangible that they can say "hey I did that" to the non-engineer. Most of the ones I know take working with trees in a different direction and make book shelves or coffee tables.
I think the thread's title explains his motivation. Sometimes satisfaction of a job well done is more important than the time or money.
I truely enjoy it when I can learn something new, save money, AND accomplish something tangible. It sure beats watching "reality" TV with my personal time.
Yep!

12? @ 12 I figured the only Engineer was the one driving the train.

You'll see I joined the forum when I was three... about 5 years after I graduated from a mostly engineering college. ;-) ;-)
dang, an in vitro college grad. MIT?

You guys smell that? Ah smells like..........:taped:
Here are all my saws. The 18" electric is the best by far. Did all my stump work with it as it is impossible to stop the chain no matter how dull the chain is. Just pure power. I had the 20amp breaker kick out couple times but the saw will not stop.
Bought ATV and Dump Trailer two weeks ago to move wood.
This what I have done to my wood stove. Before I had to heat the entire garage/basement to 80 to have 70 in the house. Some sheet metal work and 90% of the heat goes up to the house with basement at 55-60.
By the way, I dropped two more trees over the weekend. This is addicting.
Don't want to brag about money, but average engineer in US makes $97,000. Here in northeast little more due to cost of living. Not too many working for $20-30 per hour. I work in very unique field. Money is really good, but if thing go bad, hard to find a job locally. Always have to move. Lived in 5 states on both coasts in last 15 years.
