Huge Boulders - $150 (East Greenwich, RI)

Reply to: [email protected] [Errors when replying to ads?]

We have a huge pile of giant boulders. These boulders range widely in size. Great for landscapers, or for someone building a garden. Prices are negotiable, but looking to get anywhere from $100 to $200 for each boulder, depending on the size.
Thanks!

Neighbor is a former dairy farmer who has since the 60s run a business tearing down old homes to part them out.

He also found out there was a market for boulders. He actually had to buy a bigger (used) backhoe since his first one wasn't powerful enough to load some them.

Basically just digging out his stone dump. He could remember hauling many of them there with his father back in the 1940s. Once customers chose the boulders, a flat bed tractor trailer hauls them away.

Prices, I'm certain, where in that range and up.

Up here the dirt contractors call them pay stones. They load em up and sell them to people in Minneapolis who want them to put in their yard. Anything bigger than 2ft across can bring quite a bit of money and those city people seem to be willing to pay almost anything for em.:dizzy:

Professional to Fall trees (Charlton)
Date: 2010-05-29, 10:16AM EDT
Reply to: see below

I am looking for a professional licensed & insured person who has the ability to fall two very large cottonwood trees. these trees are about 75' +/- and are accessible but near homes & a neighbors fence so they do need to be done by a professional. we are not looking for some "psycho do it all daredevil" with a chain saw. we are willing to have the person who falls them take the wood for payment or to work out a fair price for the work. the address is 7 Griffin Road, Charlton. I will be around doing yard work today if you would like to swing by before 5pm & we can talk. For future reference the phone number is 508-248-0000 (yes, that is really our number) However, i cant guarantee to be by the phone today. These trees have to go soon due to childrens allergies. Thanks
 
Spell check, anyone? Punctuation? I'm sure that additional emails would probably be best. LOL.

You mis-understand BigE- it doesn't cut, it just makes a lot of noise and always has ("Still raises cain"). Also, he tried to remove a fence with it, but it did not work ("Ruins gate"). Comes with a device for holding up burning logs ("grate for firewood"). Sounds like a good deal to me. Not sure what the '16in' things means, or why he wants to buy a band instrument ('obo'). Some people are funny.

Ah, thanks for the clarification! I think he wants 150 obos, though. Maybe he is trying to start a band?

Black Walnut Trees / Roots (Camp Hill)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Date: 2010-06-07, 1:19PM EDT
Reply to: [email protected] [Errors when replying to ads?]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


4 Black Walnut Trees ~ FREE
You must remove & haul
Removal must be completed by an insured party.
Proof of insurance is required; NO exceptions

Black Walnut lumber usually sells high, due to the quality of it's wood. The roots are valued for gun stock, amongst other things. We only have 4 trees, so we're not interested in trying to cash in on them. We still realize there is potential value in them and figured we should offer them as lumber before having them removed and burned as fire wood. http://www.thewoodbox.com/data/wood/walnutinfo.htm

We will require a written agreement confirming stumps are too be ground immediately after the trees are removed. If you want the roots as well, you're welcome to take as much as is accessible, however, the area MUST be filled back in with soil at the end of the job. You do not have to dig out the roots, unless you want them.

We are also asking that a fairly small pine tree, situated beside one of the black walnut trees be removed & that stump be ground as well. You do not have to take the pine wood, unless you want it. We will deal with cutting it up once it's down if you're not interested in it. This should take all of 10-20 minutes (tops) if the equipment is already here. We removed the other 4 pines by ourselves, easily, in a few hours. (3 of us, with a rope, chain saw & ladder)

If interested & can meet the criteria above, please respond via email with your name & phone number.
Responses without a phone number will not be answered.

Wow! I want to sell "cords" of firewood in WI. :)

You can hardly blame Joe Homeowner for not knowing what a cord is, when there are so many firewood sellers out there that don't.


That looks like it might be one of those "rick" things, er mebbe one of them "face cord" thingys.

'Course, nobody really knows what those things actaully are since they change from one place to another, or even from one person to another... :monkey:

Free big tree for lumber / firewood. At Kent east closed to Lake Meridian Park, a maple tree is about 96” circumference or 30” diameter at 1 foot above ground. You will bring a big train saw 18” or large, I will cut it down on the lawn, then you will make the tree disappear. Easy access, an 18-wheeler can be back to touch the tree. Send me an email and I will respond if the tree is still there.

Tell me what a big "Train saw" is?
Not only does he want you to bring your chainsaw he wants to use it to cut down the tree himself and then you get to clean it all up.
Lord only knows why he doesn't have a chainsaw himself.:
