Speaking of Bois D'Arc trees... If a guy needed to trim a few limbs for clearance, would a Sawzall with a demolition blade work well enough?

I haven't cut those type of limbs with one, but I will say YES on using demo blades.
They are a big improvement over the cheap blade that I've seen come with a new Sawzall.

We have the hedge trimmer, and the small chain saw, both work very well, and get the job done.

Even better is the Wife will use the hedge trimmer.

I also have a couple of the battery powered blowers, great tools to have as well. We use the job site blower for our weekly get the dog hair out of the house activity. One of us blows the hair towards the other using a(non-dewalt) cordless vac.

Here, but occasionally There.
True, but I know those trees are mighty tough.

OH, YEAH!!!!!

When we were on the farm/ranch, my father-in-law leased some grassland just over the Colorado line along the Cimarron River up north of the Panhandle. When fixing fence, if one had to reattach barbed wire to a Bois d'Arc fence post, it was done by wrapping baling wire around the barbed wire and post. There was NO WAY one could drive in a new steeple.

They're not so tough when green (similar to oak maybe?), especially if you're just trimming.

I cut some for firewood once, and that was kinda hard on the little 14" Homelite chain & bar. But man, that stuff burns hot when seasoned.

You can take a small split stick of that stuff and tie it into a knot when it is green. Let it get hard though and oh man forget it.

Makes killer axe handles, duck calls and bows if your man enough. I have a half finished hatchet handle now I let get hard that a horseshoe rasp just skates on.

Also t: Take ripe horse apples just when you can break them up good and scatter crumbs around foundation of your house or anywhere you do not want bugs. They will vamoose. Some people say it is a myth but it works for me

We got fleas in the house once (still a mystery - we had no indoor pets), and my Sis told me to scatter horse apples around under the furniture. We gathered a bunch and put 'em on paper plates under/behind furniture all though the house.

Fleas were completely gone in a few days.

We occasionally ran across little brown, dried up horse apples when moving furniture for years... :D
