I've used it a bunch, probably should take it in for service. Overall I'm happy, but the defective fuel tank cap is a drag, it doesn't attach unless you place it on there perfectly, but looks like it's attached only to dump fuel on your leg when pick the saw up...

Good chainsaw. Runs forever. Maybe you should do a chainsaw review. Lou, is that a Stihl 024 Woodboss? Good chainsaw. Runs forever. Maybe you should do a chainsaw review.

He did a spin-off show and built his own hut in a woodland. No mountains or skiing, but there seem to be some similar planning regulations - the hut is on wheels etc. In Series 1, ep 4, he builds himself a hot tub, using airplane parts from a airfield graveyard. At the very least it's interesting to see the ideas he comes up with, for a low cost project, the hot tub is high on novelty value and looks pretty cool. http://tinyurl.com/c3m2g7f If you watch, you'll need some time, the show is 40 odd minutes and not all of that is on hot tubs... or chainsaws, though an earlier episode see's him splitting oak logs with explosives Lou and Lisa,

Amazing how your priorities get messed up. Instead, I'm sitting here reviewing ski bindings. Not exactly a hot date. I actually don’t know why I have not installed a hot tub up there already.
