I've got about 5 large oak trees that need to be cut down. If you're a logger who is interested in cutting them down for FREE and selling them, please contact me ASAP! These are tall trees and will require either a bucket equipped vehicle or a crane to cut the trees off in sections.

Free firewood - free delivery !!!

thats right, free delivery of free firewood!
.. how can you beat that!?

Free Firewood removed from a garage. This wood was siding and shelving/etc removed from a garage during a rennovation. I will deliver this wood for free within 25 miles from my location in piscataway. The wood is free and delivery is free within 25 miles of piscataway. Please call rather than email as i don't check email as often. Wood would be optimal in an outdoor or indoor woodburning furnace, a fire pit, or would be excellent for a campfire. All of the wood might total about 5-6 loads in my 8' pickup bed. I will be happy to deliver any number of loads whether 1 or all or anywhere in-between

You mean scored??

A partial list of (terms?) ebay sellers have used to describe a piston which has done a dance w/ straight gas

Scared
Scarred
Scortched (yes, wrong word & misspelled)
Scraped
Scrapped (pretty sure this was supposed to be scraped)
Burnt



BTW, did anyone see the ebay listing (I believe it was for an echo 370) a few months ago that read "used once, cut off leg"? It went on to say that he had bought the saw to do some tree work, but decided to hire a pro & keep his arms & legs intact. Talk about a marketing ploy! Still laughing @ that one
 
Not exactly wood related, but fire related

Free Boxspring for burning or ??? (Woonsocket)

Hi,
I have a queen size boxspring I need to get rid of, I wouldn't recommend using it as bedding because it was infested with bed bugs thanks to my ex-boyfriend. I'm pretty sure I killed them all but you never know. I think it would look great on nice bon fire :)

Please only contact with serious inquiries & you must be able to pick it up yourself.

For those of you who need a translation from Woonsocket-ese to English:
"Hi, I'm skeevy, would you like to come get some free bedbugs?"
 
Correct me if I am wrong here, but wouldn't it be cheaper to buy two half cords from this guy, then to buy one full cord? If I had $200 to burn, I would go down and purchase two half cords just for ####s and giggles.

At least...

and maybe a legal document to absolve you of being an accomplice to anything bad that will happen.

At least they're not begging for free firewood w/ the out of work sob-story. There was a CL posting here last December complaining that the oil grant ONLY gave them 1 tank full, & they'd used it ALL already. My oil furnace is old & inefficient, even before we burned wood, 1 tank lasted most of the winter. There's your tax $$ at work--- some slacker got $800 worth of free oil from the gov't & ran wild w/ it---- thermo. on 80 & the windows open!
 
Correct me if I am wrong here, but wouldn't it be cheaper to buy two half cords from this guy, then to buy one full cord?

If you follow up with him, you will probably find him defining a 'half cord' (1/2 of a cord) as what you and I might call a 'face cord' (1/3 of a cord). Just my guess.

Free wood You cut the trees (Harwinton,Ct.)
Date: 2010-07-25, 11:36AM EDT
Reply to: [email protected] [Errors when replying to ads?]

I have 6 or 7 large trees that are in danger of hitting my septic tank / leech fields and my house : one was hit by lightening and one is split down the middle. I can't afford to pay some one to take them down.

You can have all of the wood to do what you want with.. You MUST have up to date insurance as I won't be responsible if something happens. Also you will need a bucket and a chipper. I want them down SOON!
