Here is an email from my last Craigslist person after I told him that I would be there tomorrow to take down a medium sized red oak in his backyard.

"yes, that's fine. while you're here, if u wouldn't mind cutting down some dogwoods & some off my magnolia & mulberry trees in the back that u can easily reach from the ground, i'd like u to do that, too. u can have any & all of the wood that u cut from those, too.
i also have some limbs hanging over my house from some kinda tree,i need you to climb up there and trim them back.my neighbor wants her litle trees trimmed in her yard next door, i told her that u wood do it for me.or i'll borrow your utility chainsaw & cut it up myself if u can just get it on the ground for me. thanks!
and my freind says that u can grind the stumps down to the ground with your chainsaw,just use a old chain and wash your saw with a garden hose real good to get the dirt out.is that okay?"



I am thinking that maybe this job is going to be a hassle, full of "whileuratits"
Wash my saw?I think not!Loan you my saw?I think not!

Was this a job?or just some side thing for some wood?

Might want to think about doing the windows while your out there and as long as your up in the tree by the house, check the gutters.

yea it's in some good cushioning material. but if someone does buy it they would have to replace everything before they use it. and the way it looks it don't have a engine and looks like its been setting a long time and not used.

well, you know they figure they only need one guy around Elkhart that don't know too much 'bout these things.

as read with rural Wi accent, or as I say "row faster, I hear banjos!"
