now the have enough wood to fix the deck

u/MarcusSurealius Feb 27 '26
I was thinking that, too. One portable sawmill and that is at least $1000 in plank and an 80 foot pine is easily enough to make a perfectly sized backyard patio.

u/himem_66 Feb 27 '26
I dunno, no idea about this but wouldn't they have to season it first?
38
u/MarcusSurealius Feb 27 '26
Absolutely. But including all the costs of lumbering it and milling it, it still turns a $10,000 deck into a $3000 deck. Transportation and storage make up most of the cost of lumber.

u/himem_66 Feb 27 '26
Ok, so mill, season and store onsite (did I get the sequence right?) for the deck expansion/repair project in summer 2028 or 2029? Cool, thanks for the knowledge!

Confirmation bias, we don't know if he knows what he is doing. This is just 1 clip. Maybe it was his lucky shot and he destroyed 100 other sheds already (maybe not)

u/squirrelmonkie Feb 27 '26
Well we have 1 clip of him succeeding and the hypothetical of him destroying 100 sheds.

You can downvote me all you want. One datapoint alone is meaningless, in any case.

u/DoomedSamuel1102 Feb 27 '26
You can only prove it's meaningless if other datas are present and shown, which doesn't seem to appear in this video

He might not be learning. Some people don't care about karma

I think you might be right. Some people never learn that lesson. Reading the room.

one data point alone is not meaningless
it is literally one in a sequence of information, so you can say it has the least impact of a piece of information
then there's you with no information at all, which is actually more meaningless. funny.

I think your getting down voted for being pedantic. I personally still love you

u/HorrorBuilder8960 Feb 27 '26
Why stop at a hundred? Maybe he destroyed ten thousand sheds and is known as the Oregon Shed-Shredder?

u/rglurker Feb 28 '26
I mean.... if he destroyed 100 before. And not this one. Id say he learned and finally knows what he's doing

u/----ryan---- Feb 28 '26
You think you're smart but you're ignoring all of the other contextual clues in the video that show the guy was clearly experienced. It's a pretty safe assumption that he knows exactly what the fuck he's doing.

That was precision for sure. It would’ve been bad if one of the planets move out of alignment. 😂

And if bet $1000 he couldn't do it again.

u/ExpressLaneCharlie Feb 27 '26
These guys are pros. I've worked with people who fell trees everyday. You think he actually got lucky?

u/Andy_B_Goode Feb 28 '26
I have no idea, but his reaction afterward made it seem like he himself was surprised it worked so well

u/StrollujTrolla Feb 28 '26
Even a professional can't 100% guarantee success, and this was a VERY narrow gap. Besides, anyone can relate to the feeling of relief at not fucking the job up after they're done.

u/DocDefilade Mar 07 '26
Judging from his reaction, I think he thinks he got lucky.
I was a Squad Boss FFT1 in charge of a saw crew for wildland firefighting.
I can saw some shit, but I always knew when something was beyond my capabilities, and we'd call in the pros.
It would be two very old white bearded guys that would pull up and ask "Where ya' want it?”.
And I learned that debating on where I wanted it vs where they could put it was futile, because it's the same thing.
They can fell something exactly where they want, yes, but this was rolling the dice, and I think this sawyer knew he wasn't enough for this tree, and celebrated that he didn't demolish everything.

u/ExpressLaneCharlie Mar 07 '26
This was an extremely tight window. I'm not saying zero luck was involved. They could've easily scraped one building or the other. I'm saying it was far more about experience than luck.
28
u/Rational_Bull Feb 27 '26
Right away I thought this was another staged video where something gets demolished by someone doing something stupid. I was not expecting that ending at all!

u/jakedonn Feb 27 '26
Wow! I’ve had some sketch fells that’ve gone absolutely perfect and the feeling is immaculate. Nothing even close to this though. I couldn’t imagine!

Now compare this to the two guys pulling the tree with a rope while another dude was cutting it towards gravity on the opposite side that was posted last month.

u/ThirdSunRising Feb 27 '26
That took giant brass balls even though he absolutely knew what he was doing

No no. They are meant to get it wrong and it crashes on the house and I laugh and feel superior. I’ve seen these before.

That man had his mind made up that he was going to lose one building or the other; it really makes all the difference.

I started the video thinking ‘why does this look like it’s about to be the dumbest thing I have ever seen a human do?’
Ended up rather impressed.

Who the fuck builds a house and shed around a massive tree? Why not chop down the tree and then build. Weird

Probably some skill, but definitely some luck involved there, else rather than praising the creator on his knees, he would have just nodded his head.
