LOL. a sawzall to cut the tree? Really ?   Heeheheheheh, I found that pretty funny and good Idea. Heck, I would have dragged out the BIG chainsaw, for what that sawzall would do in a few seconds and still be screwing around the the big chainsaw. But, to be a true old time experence, a ax or bow saw is what you really needed..  lol
Oh, did you check it for squirrels ? Chevy Chase - "Christmas Vacation" . . . lol
