    Hello all,
    A Block away from my home, someone is renovating a house that was sold. I saw a tree/business truck today there, never seen before and out of the local town. They took down a very nice maple, a smaller cherry and a small cedar. I stopped and asked, "what are you doing with that wood", if you have to dump it, any chance I can have it"? The fella said, Sure!
    Where do you live? 45 minutes later I had this load in the street! :cool::) I filled a bag with a six pack beer and a tip for his guys!:drunk::emptywallet: A nice little score! Got some C/S/S,ing to do

    Nice score.

    How long before a neighbor complains about the speed bump?

    Don't care! :p It'll be out of the street in a couple days. Tomorrow early I have an appointment at a gun shop, 1-1/2 hours away on a possible old antique rifle my eye has been on...:binoculars: :whistle::zip: When I get back I'll start the bucking up process. :saw:

    Yes! I've had them about 20 years, Just for this sole purpose. I did get warned and thats what the code official said, all I needed to do. In this town you have 2 weeks for items in the street and there MUST be progress. It'll be gone in a couple days. Been there done that Mike, you've seen the past pics of the loads here! :yes:

    It usually does. Even if it's the next time around. Tree guys aren't usually fond of hauling loads back if they don't have to.

    ^^^^^ This always gets ya on their good list too.
    Nice score Dave, I hope tomorrow morning goes just as well!

    Exactly! I always ask and sometimes they already have it promised but this one was a lucky hit. :yes: Here in Hell, trees are not easy to come by until a storm, mostly a nor-easter then I can get all the Maple I want usually, just knock on a door with a blow over. o_O Did it for years. :D
