I also understand and admire basslover's approach. I share his appreciation for a job done well, and as I've stated here a few times, I don't think you can call a place your own until you've shed blood, sweat, and tears all over it. I would imagine that BL's penchant for climbing into the treetops with a handsaw has afforded him ample opportunities to dispense all three bodily substances, and maybe a couple of additional ones at that. I salute his efforts, and look forward to watching his progress here on the forum.
I hope to slow down and appreciate the journey a little more, myself.
But I'm not ready to give up my Stihls just yet.
