Hi,

I am disassembly an old retaining wall made of railroad ties. I
get about 3 cuts per chain saw chain before they become
uselessly dull. Forget a hand saw or axe. Is there a better
way to cut those things? I have a lot more cuts to make.

Thanks,
Gary

Pull the mess down with log chains and tractor/truck, load on trailer
and take to landfill. No need to be tidy, its a waste of time. Your
project focus is not to make a neat pile of short railroad ties, it is
to get rid of the things to build a better retaining wall. Wasn't that
easy, now?

With railroad ties at $10 per, I'd love to come over and rip and tear out
this and be happy to do so, and haul it off for free. *I would put it on
freecycle.org, or craigslist, and find an individual like myself who would
come over and solve the problem, and do all the work. *And maybe even drop
some cash for the rr ties.

But you're not into solving the problem, only posting adolescent prattle.
If you are going to post to a home repair newsgroup, *please get some real
world experience.

Not to disappoint you Stevo, but many years ago working on farms in
the summer, we routinely got rid of log/railroad ties/ironwood fences
with pretty simple equipment and no chain saws. The key piece of
equipment was usually an old trailer with a crude hand winch. No one
would consider it a one man job.
