I have two giant dead trees next to my house that I'd like cut down and taken away... it's right before winter so I'm sure someone out there could use a ton of free fire wood ;) I can send u pics, it just needs to be someone who knows what they are doing as my house is across the driveway from them... but they are 100% dead, and I hear that's the best firewood, so hopefully we can both benefit from this. ;) please contact me if u need pics/more info. Thank you so much!!! :)

FREE Firewood! You do all the work, bring your own tools and remove. 90 foot Red Oak fell down from Irene. You get free wood, I get the tree removed............we both win! This is excellent hardwood. Won't last.

Irene Wood

When we are doing storm clean up we sometimes get 'wood boogers'; especially when it is a tornado that hits a limited area, and not everywhere. Maybe it is just more noticeable then because the activity is concentrated in one area.

I would prefer that people offer to help clear the wood from the yards, walks, driveways, etc., not just scrounge from the curb, but whatever. In you photos, they would certainly earn any wood they hauled in a quid-pro-quo deal

Problem

your right,,some people!!!!:dizzy::dizzy: some of these,,are real hummers!!

Most people look at people and class us all together. We only do this for a little beer money.
So they think we are hurting to get some beer money and will do any thing to get it. That's the reason you see stupid ads about free wood later
 
yeah i did some work for people on craigslist............................ Thats one road i wont drive again.......... ever.:givebeer:
 
Ah, what the heck, I've got nothing better to do...

I posted an ad on CL looking for free wood. I figured ol' farmer Brown might have a blow down in a fence row he wanted gone and I'd do the job for the firewood. That was 2 months ago, and I'm still looking at projects people contacted me about. The best one was this lady who wanted all the trees cut and removed from her yard. I went and looked at the job...lots of good hardwood (oaks mostly), good size at 12"-14" DBH. Only problem was there was an incredible amount of overhead utility lines. I told the lady that at the least the person would need to climb most of these trees and rig them down from the top, or better yet use a bucket truck. She yed me real strong and said in an undertone "You'd think some people would go RENT a bucket truck!" Hell yeah, go rent a bucket truck for a few cords of 'free' firewood, there's a winning proposition!
I had another lady contact me and asked if I wanted some free firewood. I went to look it over and she showed me where the power company had come through this past spring and cut back the trees from a large power line. Lots of seasoning white oak, cherry trees, some at least 24" diameter, other species, almost all hardwoods and about a hundred yard swath. I'll be cutting through that tangle much of the fall. You wins some and you loses some...

We have at least 6 to 8 trees that have fallen at the edge of the forest in the backyard, and there are 2 additional dead trees that are standing. All of these trees need to go and any other fallen trees you may find on the property. The area has easy access and you will be able to drive up very close to the location. I am not overly concerned about the branches and small stuff, I just need the big tree trunks cut up and removed.

That one actually sounds pretty reasonable. So does this one, but it's 70 miles from me. Get a kick out of the terminology though!

free firewood

Took down 2 very large maple trees this summer. Ended up with lots of UNSPLINTERED wood. If you can haul it away, you can have it. The pieces are large so you'll need a chainsaw to cut them into moveable pieces.
