Craigslist laugh of the day.....

a piano, i can see. But firewood shouldn't be sentimental!

I did this with a piano, it was a player from my wife's grandparents. Player needed some work but as a piano it was great i just had no room for it. I wanted to burn the wood and scrap the brass, my wife was having none of that. I posted it to craigslist and said that it was free and i wanted to meet the child that was going to learn to play it. Met a nice couple with three kids, delivered it for $20 gas money. I wonder how well that kid is playing by now?

I'd take that off his hands.

Not sure how much a quard is, but I'm thinking the price is a little high.

The table would give me eight to ten hours of burn time.

Don't worry, it's only 200 amp service running between the trees!!

But don't take down the wires in the process... I'd pass

 

[Tommytman]

Pretty much I don't plan on paying you, there is a good chance you will fell these trees on my house, fence or car and when all said and done you won't have any good firewood. Classic.

 

[KD0AXS]

Apparently this tree could take out a house, fence, power lines and a fire hall. No problem, I'll get right on that! :D

If his phone still ain't ringing, he knows it still ain't me.

Some of the DC Metro ones make me wish I was a little closer. 60 miles is way too far one way for wood. Around here most people burn and there are more wanted adds than take for free adds by far. I'm in N Va a few times per year anyway so next time I'm gonna look at the free wood adds before I go. My wife might not be thrilled, but if there's a good one we are taking the super duty.

 

[aeblank]

Purely amazing.

 

[PSYS]

I'm going to need to post one I saw last night when I get home from the salt mines here.... I laugh hysterically just thinking about it.

"It looks like good wood, but I really want that stump."

 

[Bobbin]

Wow. I was agog at the one stating "it's out of the hole, but you'll need a big trailer". No s-it. Blows my mind that so many think their problem translates to "value" when it comes to burning and firewood. Sure, you can burn about anything...

This is a scroungers paradise. Most of this was from CL... and in the last 6 months. (12 pallets).

Talked to guy ( cl ad) yesterday, locust, no species mentioned. Ad didn't say anything about brush. Tune changed when I talked to him. All the wood is buried under brush. Need to remove brush to get wood. I'm not particular willing to spend most of a day + fuel removing someones brush to the recycle center or chipping it all up and removing same before getting to the usable fire wood. To me that is a service I get paid for in cash. I know the particular area as well, good chance it is loaded with leaves of three as well. ( Poison Ivy)

I have to give the guy credit for his optimism. This pickup load for $389. Not sure if it fills a pick-up or you get to pickup his load.

I'm looking in the same CL area as you for free wood from time to time, although I haven't jumped an anything yet. I'm more looking closer to my area (Dells). Have you came across any good finds around here?

You guys make me glad I live in the big city with few wood burners and moderate winters. I wont even consider going after wood unless it 10miles or less from the house and MOST of the time my tree guys will deliver it to my drive way already bucked up and ready for splitting so they dont have to pay to dump it.

Georgia!?!? Couldn't you just light a few Zippos and place around the house to keep you warm in your climate during winter??

Give him a break - he went through .75 cords last winter. (I kid - I kid).
