I would like someone to take this tree down. Proof of insurance needed. I will take care of the small branches so long as the big hunks are removed.

You know, this one doesn't seem too bad... Insurance aside, PLENTY of room to drop it, doesn't appear to be too much dead wood. I dunno...

The only thing is the demand for insurance... if someone demands that, they need to hire someone. Liability insurance for this kind of stuff is NOT cheap and the weekend-warrior doesn't carry that kind of coverage (I think)

425-475 a cord!

:jawdrop: :censored:

Yet another dealer redefining the definition of a cord.

From http://www.lifirewood.com/firewood-facts.php
What does a cord of firewood measure? -
The only legal unit measurement of firewood is the CORD. It is defined as:
" a loosely stacked pile of split firewood measuring 4 ft. wide x 4 ft. high x 8 ft. long."
Overall it is equal to 128 cubic feet. There is no legal standard for the "Face Cord". Beware of sellers offering face cord quantities.

Actually, broken up concrete is a very common CL item...in fact, I've sought it out numerous times to build up my erosion control....stepping stones with the wider flat pieces, and small retaining walls as well.

Double-unbelievable!

This thread reminds me of my neighbor who last winter called me in January and told me (not asked - told me) that they were going to have to take some of my wood because they ran out. ......... :dizzy:

They say good fences make good neighbors, but I don't think there's a fence big enough for yours! :dizzy:
