Oh yeah, Tyvec disposable hazmat type suit, full face shield, rubble boots, nitrile gloves with heavy gloves over and a mask. I'm gonna look I'm ready for battle. Planing on doing it early morning while it's still about 90 and no wind.

Don't have an ax, so I'll be using a saws all with a blade for limbs, wash it with alcohol and then soap and water. As I said the one that started this mess is about 5-6" in diameter, no way I could cut that with an ax, the Paul Bunyan left my body about 40 years ago. Got any other tips I'd be...
