Got a tip last week about some wood to be had not too far from me. Went over to check it out. Guy shows me about 8acres of nice mature woods full dead ash and downed hardwoods of all types. Basically more wood than I could cut in 2 years. All nice straight trees 75-100 foot tall. Catch is....I have to clean the whole woods up right down to every sapling before a stick comes out. Well I actually did think about it for a while and talked it over with some people. I'm leaning, haha, towards not taking this on because of some fish hooks in the deal. Like what if I get it cleaned up and he renigs on his side of the deal or decides I get half of the trees we originally agree on or just up and dies and the heirs say get off our property. I do have a buddy with a land clearing machine that could do the job in one day at quite an expense to me but still I could be left holding the bag on top of lost expenses.
