We had three trees cut down on our property near Cedar and Holmes. We cut the trees up into various length pieces and put them into piles by type of wood. I KNOW that we sometimes got the wrong wood in the wrong pile, but for the most part - one pile is all Ash and the other pile is all Box Elder. I'd like to sell ALL OF IT quickly and hope that the $150 price tag does the trick.

Contact us at 517-374-5780. We answer when we're home.

Seriously? Someone is going to pay $150 to hall away a bunch of brush and maybe half a cord of wood? Is someone really willing to pay for box elder?

And it needs split! Some people are so out of touch......

 

[SolarAndWood]

Maybe it is split delivered and stacked for that price.

Thanks for cutting it up in to various lengths too. I love stacking wood that is all different lengths. I also love when people put in their add that their item is going to go quickly. Does anyone actually read that and think "It is? Holy crap, I better act now!"

 

[burntime]

How about Mostly out of touch! :lol: He will just repost and finally give it away. I have burned box elder but only cause it was in my yard and I took it down. I would not go and pick it up... Burns wayyyyy to quick!

You missed that the ad is for "1+ cords" -- I think you better act fast!

Not firewood related except that I saw this one while looking for some wood

"Free bees to anyone who will remove them and the beehive. Attached are the pictures of the beehive in our tree. It is the size of a child's
head. We have 3 small children and this tree is right off our deck."

I dunno how to grab the pics

Hmm, Is that a Red Maple there? Maybe I could get that hive down...

"6 logs of Ossipee Mountain firewood"

Is that code for something?
