Once the tree is dead let it rot a year and then just yank it out with your bare hands.

Again, for an investment, I want to be sure i'm not walking into a money pit such as bad foundations, significant wood rot, a really failed septic, etc.Are you asking about a fixer-upper?

That's $150.00 and most families with freezers keep more than that on hand. ok, let's be honest here. most people just have one fridge. either a side by side or a top freezer. i'd like to have a separate freezer just for meat (like a whole cow butchered), but that's just a dream of mine, not happening.those normal freezers do not have a lot of storage space. 99% of people eat crap food which includes hot pockets, pizzas, waffles, not to mention disgusting frozen dinners that are purchased by people that just want to stuff their faces with something. after all, bad food is cheap and people just want to eat cheap. i understand that.because of the above, most people do NOT have the space to put that much meat in the freezer because meat does not stack as well as pizza boxes. that's my whole point. unless there is an extra freezer or you cook often (not just heat a bagel in the toaster), you dont have that much meat.oh, and btw, fridges and freezers are designed to keep cool for a long time if the power goes out. some people think that meat starts to rot as you open the fridge door.
