Craigslist laugh of the day.....

[SawDawg]

Some of it? Heck looks like most of it needs to be cut and/or split.

Good ole poplar, er I mean popular.

 

[Oldman47]

So he's only offering $50 for you to haul it?

 

[Dobish]

I personally like the picture that they posted in this one

 

[NoGoodAtScreenNames]

You say you have two cords and half is ready to use this winter. The picture says you have less than 2 cords and not a piece has been split, so yes I'll take your advice and let the picture speak for itself.

This might be a great deal with the saw being restrung and all....

isn't chainswaw man stuff? maybe he replaced the string cord....

 

[dougand3]

He may have meant he installed new starter rope. My mind went to tennis rackets and guitars.

Good ole barkless european pine... looks like someone just cut up a bunch of 4x4

 

[sportbikerider78]

Nevermind the power line. Or that the wood is completely rotten.

If people expect tree services to work for free, why not demo companies too?

She has both! I think these were the "Hello Kitty" muck boots

My daughter has those.

They could probably get some takers on this one, if they drop the insured requirement. Lot's of people looking for old barn wood, the real stuff. Some guys wife in WA is begging her husband to take that job on.

 

[iamlucky13]

Old growth timbers can have a fair amount of value, but seldom enough to cover a full demo. Usually it's done to recuperate part of the cost. Also, the amount of old growth in a 1970's structure is dubious. Anybody agreeing to take it all as stated in the ad will likely be paying quite a bit in dump fees.

More importantly, barns in good shape generally don't get torn down, especially big barns with indoor riding areas (especially not in this area - Microsoft, Amazon, Boeing - lots of high paying jobs, not a lot of land close in with room for the equestrians). The condition of the wood is highly suspect on that basis, and the safety of working on the barn without heavy equipment even more so.

I wonder if I can give away the trees on my land. Fire chief says trees should be ten to twenty feet apart. What do you think of this ad copy. Should i post it on CL?

Free fire wood trees you cut them you can keep 1 tree for every 4 trees that you cut for me. You must cut and split all the wood before you leave. Its mostly hill so you would have to try not to die. It is impossible to get equipment there so you will have to carry all the trees to the cutting area. All the slash must be removed from the area. You must be carefull not to make too much noise as my peace and quite is highly valuable. The firewood is pine so you can only burn it if you have an open fireplace like mine and you have to open two windows so the cool air keeps the chimney cold. Preference given to someone with a stump grinder. Do not contact me if you do not have insurance. Must have deposit incase you mess my drive way. If you just deliver 6 cords of 2 year seasoned oak to my porch you can cut and remove 3 of my trees to your location without having to split them at my place. Thats like 12 cords of wood for 6 cords of wood. Have to hurry as it will snow soon and I am cold already.

OK What ever yup go with that and good luck

 

[Dobish]

don't forget to charge them camping fees

 

[Handsonautotech]

don't forget to charge them camping fees

I was going to add : Should probably bring lunch for both of us also, may take a while.

 

[iamlucky13]

Saying equipment access is impossible but requesting a stump grinder is a nice touch.

Ha that is a great way to look at it, I was thinking who grinds stumps in the middle of the woods..
