Cheapest way to remove a fallen tree
What is the cheapest way I could cut this up and remove it myself?
My 16in chainsaw is too small. Let me know if you guys need more info.
Thanks!

Hire 2 day workers & rent a stump grinder. It takes 3 guys to transport a full size stump grinder. That's why I said hire 2 guys. Buy a few axes too. All of you go to work. Then hang a sign, free fire wood.

I find it hard to believe that a 16" saw is too small. All you have to do is cut from one side, then go around the tree and cut from the opposite side.

If you have home owners insurance give them a call and let them remove the tree and repair the fence.

Like the others I see no reason a 16" bar won't work. As Joe said, I doubt anyone would want that tree for firewood [although I have burnt that or worse in my shop stove] Many cities will pick up logs/limbs if they are cut small enough and placed at the curb so you might call the city and see what they say.

That tree was there when we bough the house. It is pretty rotten, no clue how long its been there. I wouldn't burn it hah.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I guess I don't know how to use a chainsaw... I'll go brush up on YouTube.
