Keeping with the original subject...

I rather like his statement regarding his willingness to consider a lower price for the wood...

"The price for an 8-foot bed is non-negoitable. For less cash I would rather burn it in my yard and dance around it in my speedo."

:)

It would almost be worth offering him less cash just to see if he would burn it in his yard and dance around it in his speedo. :)
 
I'd offer him more cash to do that, as long as I could put it on youtube

They cut down a few 6" trees and want YOU to pay THEM for it??? And I'm sorry, but it takes more than "a few" 6" trees to make a cord.
 
Here's a new C/L funny. Not firewood, but someone is apparently selling an "Angel Grinder" ... I wonder how many fit on the head of a pin:

Nothing to do with wood but something you could feed the person that comes to cut your trees down for free. If you want to poison them.

Flagged. What was it?
 
If you are in the Lexington area or willing to travel and cut down 2 trees for free or at a nominal cost (if reselling the wood) then please contact me at (617) 752-1051. The backyard is large enough to provide clearance for dropping the tree and cutting the wood.

One of the trees most likely requires special equipment such as an aerial lift as it is in proximity to the house. Please see picture below.

So need specialist equipment, but if I want to sell the wood, I have to to pay you?

My wife is doing a triathlon up that way this weekend. Maybe I'll take the trailer and a chainsaw so that I have something to do.
 
If you're really bored, you could swing by our place and toss a few rounds on the lawn and I'll toss you a few beers. :lol:

Seriously though. Best of luck to your wife. And here's to hoping the weather holds out.
 
Thanks, and don't worry about me, I drink beer in all weather. Especially, some of those fine VT products.
 
Fire wood 700 cubic feet (approx.) - $400 (Holden)

700 cubic feet (approx) of cut and split pine. Heating equivalent of about 5 - 6 cords of hardwood. Perfect for person with out door wood burning furnace. You pick up

Lets see, 700/128 = 5.5 cords

BTUs of pine = 14 mill per cord
BTUs of maple = 24 mill per cord

So 5.5 cords of pine = 3.2 cords of maple on a BTU basis

So actually, if it's really 700 cu feet, $400 isn't terrible, but you have to move it. AND, we all know that pine will turn your stove pink and your chimney will move to Mongolia.
 
Today's
For Sale.....17 cords of firewood - dried for 9 months......7 cords are cut and split - the rest is fireplace size, but not split.....all hardwood, ie, oak, maple, cherry and apple.
The whole load is selling for $3,000. If 4 or more cords are purchased, the price is $200 per load........no delivery.

$176/cord, only 7 cords of which could be dry, 10 cords just in rounds, and you need to pickup. Pass.
 
An even better deal--you get the firewood AND the rotting tarps and pallets too!!

i will provide service in return for firewood
 
Love them super-duty mini trucks... Never figure out how to get a whole cord in my 3/4 ton long bed truck, but he gets one in a Mazda - with room to spare. Must be because a cord of pine is so much smaller than a cord of real wood.
