Duh, it's easier to stack piles 4x5x6 than it is 4x4x8...:monkey:

Kind of on the subject

One time about 50 some years ago I had a lawn service. I was asked the price to take down a large maple looking tree. Two men could hold it around the base. I was about 18yrs, not wise, I said $20. The tree was in a small back yard so I had to climb to cut the limbs and slowly bring it down.
What saved me was an old man across the street wanted the wood and helped me, bless him. Took a couple days, I made a good 50 to 75 cents and hour. Gasoline was 18cents a gallon then so $20 was nice to have but not for two ten hour days.
Not long ago when I was told if I can can have all the wood, about 7 trees 1' dia. if I leveled the back one acre with my tractor and remove the dirt, about 800 yards, I see the humor in it. I was asked this by a fellow who figured I could do it one Saturday afternoon.

This thread has given me a couple good laughs, Thanks

Richard

Heck that is like buy one get the other 75% off compared to the other deal. I'm going to go to the bank today and see if they will give me a loan so I can pay for my firewood for the next 10 years at 25% interest, how can one go wrong? :chainsawguy:

Hmm, lots of structures around those trees.... someone else looking to get $2k worth of work done for free..

You must have misread....You pay HIM to take the wood! (and haul brush).




And how did you get the pictures? they never showed up when I posted. :monkey:

Ya, even worse. Pay this dude and do all the work to remove those trees..
let me get right on that...:monkey:

Right click on the photos, save to hard drive. Then go to photobucket.com or the like and upload. Once uploaded to photobucket they give you a html link you just copy and paste into your post.

No I know how to post photos... Im saying I just copied and pasted the ad into the post and the photos didnt show up in my post, then you quoted my original post and the photos are there. I find that a bit weird.

I don't know the details but it never works that way, probably because craigslist does not want to be used as a photohost for sites other than craigslist.

You should still be able to "right click" on the photo and choose "copy image location" (at least you can choose that option with firefox). Then, you just use that as the URL when you post the image. I don't think there is any way for a domain to block that url from being loaded; but when you copy and past the page, they can use creative html coding to cause the photos to not come through. The "copy image location" bit is a surefire way to get photos from a site like craigslist.

You are correct of course, by attaching some html code to the craigslist url for the picture itself you can directly link to the craiglist stored photo. The down side is when the add is pulled, I think the picture will go byby too. By uploading the photo to a site like photobucket, the picture will remain in the thread until you elect to break the link (by deleting the photo in your photobucket account).

It will go bye bye.

Yep. Much better for the forum. The other way leads to lots of posts that don't make sense because the pics are gone.
