    I've lived in other places where the neighbors glared at me. One old bat used to just do the long, slow disapproving stare as she walked her little #### dog past my house with the old trucks out front. If my garage was open, they'd stare at the truck parts, chainsaws, and such that filled the place while shaking their heads. Didn't matter if I was standing in my front yard. They'd stare past me to look at all the "junk". I startled them out of their trance by saying hello. Used to fire up ALL my saws, plus two old pickups and two Scouts during their "Earth Day" celibrations...

    While living there, my next door neighbor (upon finding out that I owned the old trucks in front) said he was disappointed, as he thought my landlord owned them and he was getting ready to "turn him in" to the local governent for code violations. WTF??? I got back at them by running my loud old generator on the side of the house (no outlet there) to power my angle grinder while working on something. Was about 7AM on a Saturday.

    Around the house? It would be little saplings I could/should do with shears. Normally though they will end up growing to 2-4 inch diameter and I end up getting my little Craftsman out. Other than that it's a big round I cant split so I usually grab the Poulan 245A to split it the fun way.

    BTW, do you have both the 200 and the 200T or is that just a typo in your sig? Cheers!
    I actually have three used MS200T's and one brand new never been in wood. I picked up two of the used ones from a guy that works clearing power lines and got them for next to nothing. I use them quite a bit too but not as frequent as the MS200.

    200R is an awesome little saw- I use loppers , folding Bahco pruner or my 435 around the house.

    Not much call for anything bigger at the house.

    Faves here in suburbia-land:

    2' swede saw or pruning saw for least noise, most exercise, especially on Sundays.

    35 cc "McC" (Jenn Feng) w/14" for anything less than 16-18". Quiet, low vibes, quick. Became GoToSaw 6 yrs ago when Poulan 2150's fuel lines broke up. Expecting at least another 6 good years from it. With its low fatigue-factor, I can run it all day with only the odd couple of minutes to hydrate it and myself, and to drain (me).

    The bigger saws are overkill at home.

    MS200T, i think. Small, light, easy to haul around and stash behind sofa and such, relatively reliable, for most of the everyday homeowners need behind the house, while doing some construction work, for cutting small firewood etc.
