That would be sweet...a new saw and perhaps a new fishing rod!
I actually spent 4 days myself on this one and still have 25 feet
of the trunk left. It doesn't look like a ton of work but it is...especially
cutting it up for firewood. I hope they do not short change me on the
damage...I do not have any experience with claims.

4 days for that tree...you are going to need a bigger saw...please visit your friendly Stihl dealer. My parents were honest with the adjustor, I think the pay based on the diameter of the tree. I had five trees up to that size but had two saws and an energetic nephew.......

hahaha....yeah...well you got me there....I am not skilled with
a chainsaw. Never used one before a couple years ago, and taught
myself how to use it. I might have about a total of 40 hours under
my belt...so I am slow and cautious. Can't stand on a rock in the surf with one leg.
