I need to cut old roofing timbers into fire wood, chainsaw is out of the question. Handsaw is a little slow. I can't pull the nails out of the wood as it is oak and many have broken off.

Depends on how thick the wood is, but if it's in the 2"x6", etc., thickness range, there are blades made especially for nail-embedded wood that you can buy for a 7 1/4" circular saw. There are also blades made for a reciprocating (SawzAll-type) saw made especially for nail-embedded wood, too...one is called "The Axe" If you have a lot of wood to cut, buy a pack of them, 'cuz "nothing lasts forever." Wear eye protection!

Talk with him first and ask him nicely if he could keep his construction work to daylight hours. Most cities have a time limit on noise. In mine it's nothing before 8:00 AM or after 10:00 PM. If you ask him to stop and he continues, you can call the police. Just be prepared for a nasty relationship from then on.

If you have a lot of them to cut a simple metal detector does not cost that much and could save you a ton of trouble with helping find where the nails are. Then it wouldn't matter what kind of saw you use.
Hope this helps.

Along with stone, mud and animal parts, wood was one of the first materials worked by early humans. Microwear analysis of the Mousterian stone tools used by the Neanderthals show that many were used to work wood. The development of civilization was closely tied to the development of increasingly greater degrees of skill in working these materials.

There were so many woodworking plans with this collection and you will not believe this but there are over thousands plans in the one package deal. Go here https://tr.im/8Flkz
This is really something to find that many all together. For someone like me who is just really starting to get involved with woodworking this was like letting me loose in a candy store and telling me I could have anything I wanted. That was my dream when I was a kid.

A circular saw with a carbide tipped blade is a possibility as is a sawzall with relatively large toothed metal-cutting blade.
