A person on Craigs List replied to me regarding trees he needed down at his summer cottage about 20 miles from my house. Located on a small lake and a nice ride from our place. Over the last several weeks we have taken down 1 ash a several decent sized hickory(they are all s/s now). We had an agreement that I would just pile the small branches and he would worry about them later. There was 1 tree left, a big ash, that I would not touch due to power lines and I don't climb. Got an email from him that he found a guy that will take it down with a bucket truck and will remove all the branches from it and the huge pile I had from the other trees.
Took off from work early Friday and as soon as I walk in the door my wife says this guy called and the tree is down.So yesterday the Mrs and I load up my gear and head out to the lake. After only a half hour we had a full truck load of ash. This guy cut the complete tree up...I didn't start the saw once! Man was I glad to see that as I was tired at the end of the day before heading out but I always try to respond promptly to people giving me free wood.
So I got a truck load of wood, had a helper with me(unusual), have another load just sitting there waiting for me, now I'm 2+ year ahead with c/s/s good hardwood and smiling as I type this
