Link shows flagged for removal and the listing won't show.

Must have been a "good" one!

It was amusing. I saved the webpage HTML but can't FTP it up to my site from work, so here's my cheap recreation of it:

I thought you weren't suppose to burn the green stuff?

I'm guessing that stuff is definitely "seasoned."

I have just the thing for that just in case he changes his mind........

Also,not quite as dramatic, but here's some "free trees" from my area:


come take down my storm damaged tree for free, and oh yeah, you can have the wood. Take the standing dead pine too.

This guy has posted the "broken branch" about ten times.

I saw an ad on CL in Columbuc OH titled :
Firewood cured well and ready to burn

this is the email the guy sends me:

Tim, the majority of the tree hasnt even been dropped and is huge.....probably a dozen cords or so.....however, it would have to be topped and then dropped. there are no dwellings in the way but it would take someone who has experience topping out trees. The parts that are on the ground are only a few now. We had 3 huge limbs fall after a storm and had to have others cut off. In short, there is ALLOT if someone wants to bring a tree down. If not expereinced in that, then there is probably a pickup trucks worth that needs to be cut into smaller pieces.

I have told anyone responding that in order to take ANY of the wood, you will have to sign a Waiver of Liability. I cant have someone go out there, hurt themselves and then sue us. If the above works for you, email me tonight and we can see what we may be able to arrainge. One guy is supposed to come look at it today. If he doesnt come, your next on the list.

Can you believe these people?????

 

[coppermouse]

Ill write them and ask how much are they gonna pay me.
These people crack me up

Did you hear about the one where a girl was mad at her aunt and advertised that everything in the house was free for the taking so it was ransacked down to the fixtures!

There was one a while back where a guy was offering "free used lumber" if someone would come and take down his old rickety ass deck!!!!! This is not the depression. What the hell have all these people been smoking?










Oh yeah. I forgot. They've been smoking the free trees.

You've got to be kidding!

sizzle

Don't sell the wood sell the sizzle

 

[slug]

Got this off craigslist plus the rest of the tree that I've cut up. More then a cord of white oak. So sometimes it's worth it.

Probably shouldn't have put it on this trailer.

 

[ktm250rider]

did you strap it down at least?

 

[coppermouse]

look like there is a bungee holding it down

 

[slug]

I added a couple of ratchet straps when I move it. I used the come-along to get it on the trailer. Took it out to a guy with a small sawmill. Not sure when he will get to cutting it up or if it will even make decent lumber. Kinda hard to see from the picture but it had quite a few "cat faces".
