She wood.....or use to anyway
In case anyone's interested. Here's a great deal!
Are there really people who who would pay for second rate firewood and have to do all the heavy lifting?

Poster is hoping to recover some of his removal costs, or save hauling/ disposal fees. Might be worth something to people who don’t have access to wood lots, etc. But he’s not making it easy, and does not understand the value of the wood or the effort involved.

Double-unbelievable!
This thread reminds me of my neighbor who last winter called me in January and told me (not asked - told me) that they were going to have to take some of my wood because they ran out. ..... They made out just as poorly as when they came over to tell me that I had to clean out my barn so that they could use it for their horses ... or the time that they told me that I had to go and shoot a skunk that they had trapped under their trailer ... or the time they told me that I had to take the machines that I rented and do their driveway and dig them a ditch ... or ...... ok, now I'm just depressing myself.

I would have done that one. Purposely done a flesh wound, just enough to get him mad spraying.
What a small world it is. I love Beerntsens! I'm a graduate of MLHS. Class of '98. I live about 20 minutes from Manitowoc.
It's listed as free in the header (in green) and then "not free" in the body... maybe he was going to give it away and then got greedy... or sticker shock?In case anyone's interested. Here's a great deal!

I've picked up a bit of free wood by having a list of what local places would charge to remove it. I've got some enormous beech rounds out front, that the guy was glad to give me free, when he found out the tree service wanted two grand to take it away (it was in a *horrible* inaccessible spot, and dangerous to boot). Some back-up on paper with big numbers tends to help people make up their minds to be glad they don't have to pay your to do it.

I agree. I see ads like that all the time on StL CL for cookies. But at least those are dry.

Has anyone answered a "Free Firewood" ad for a standing tree and then dropped it on their house?
Oops! My bad.
