Good decision. I got to the show late. When I started hanging out on the scrounging forum it was a giant conflict of interest on my part. Coming from 4 generations of tree care, I knew that a lot of guys were going past just scrounging. In many states you have to be licensed to take down trees. So I did a search for Tree Expert License in NJ. Your friend's insurance would not cover you because he is not licensed to do tree work, and that is way out of the parameters of what they are charging him to cover. I'm not going to tell guys not to do some side work, making a few bucks (I don't do hard work free), getting some wood. I'm just saying be aware of the fact that if "YOU F UP", you maybe be paying for it the rest of your life in law suits. If a stupid customer walks into a falling tree, and it's a pro doing the job, there will be some assumption that the pro knew what he was doing, and it was a stupid customer. He will still have OSHA up his butt, and fines, maybe more. If the same thing happens to you, it will be assumed you are a hack, that shouldn't be doing that work, and it was your fault, and you are liable. Just think what it would be like to have half of your paycheck garnered for the rest of your life for some free wood.Yea,
I have no interest in being a professional tree service- I never did really, but I know what you are saying of course. I looked into it briefly, but its just not something I'm into. I generally only did it for the wood.
After all this consideration (thanks everyone for all of your input!!) I called him and let him know that I just did not have the time or resources to dedicate to picking it up...but if he had someone to move it, I had a place for him to drop it off. So he responded that he would try and get someone to deliver it to me.
I often roll big knotty blocks out of the way, and at the end of the year, when I'm cleaning up the splitting area, noodle them. But, I'm using a 100CC saw with a 24" bar and .404 chain. I think it is just as fast to noodle them all the way down to firewood, just makes a giant pile of noodles that have to be cleaned up.
I've done that a few times. No 100cc saws yet but the Dolmar is one step closer. Those big piles of noodles make great fire starters.
I have a “to be noodled” pile near my splitter. The noodles get saved for chicken bedding. One thing I have noticed is the noodled pieces stack flatter and subsequently don’t dry as well so I try and sprinkle them amongst the splits.
I spread them out too. I've had some that got stacked flat to flat and had mildew so bad they stuck together.

What people don't understand about gasoline is.....87 octane will produce more power.....higher octane gas as it goes up in numbers actually burns slower....so in your higher compression engines...higher octane means slower burns creating less detonation....
