A facebook gem

I just cut a whole truckload of cherry over the weekend. Guess I should be glad I wasn't mugged on the way home

 

I like the way you think.

 

I'd gladly make an offer. Say $20, only because it's already cut. Probably the best deal they'll get.

 

There was an empty lot in town that had a big pile of ash rounds on it for a year or two...looked like it was never touched. I had asked around who might own it, never found out...then I seen an add on FBMP for this pile for $50 (I recognized it right away since I had been watching to see if anyone did anything with it before it was rotten) I messaged the guy and said I won't pay $50, but I will clean it up for free (they were selling the lot) never heard anything, but it was soon after that it I seen the ad said "sold"...I guess it was worth $50 to someone, not me, too much free BTU's laying around!

 

I see that stuff on CL from time to time. Come on people, burn it yourself, give it to a friend, or put it out by the road for someone else!

 

Firewood grows on trees.

 

I've seen it big time here. A friend needed a used car for a 16 yr old new driver. Best deal they could find 2 months ago was a 99 Camry v6, with 177k, for 7k from a dealer loaded. But waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy overpriced. I found an 04 Pontiac vibe ( rebranded Toyota matrix) AWD auto with 140k for 4k which was high, but not stupid like that camry was.

Now I'm seeing even better, like a '11 edge AWD v6 from a dealer with 100k for less than that 99 camry . I'm not even looking and I see better deals

 

True. The labor and equipment to turn the trees into firewood is the kicker though.

 

Every now and then I'll search for firewood on Craigslist just for a laugh. People are always trying to sell straight up garbage. Even when they offer it for free it's still garbage.

 

I've gotten 3 really good scores on CL Free over the course of about 3 years. They were few and far between compared to the ones that were either crap wood, too far away, or poor access. Some I passed over because I just got the sense from the ad that something wasn't quite right.

 

The ads I really like are the ones for free wood in the form of standing live trees, you even get to clean it up, all for FREE!

 

I wonder if those ads ever work?

 

There have been several like that around here. They usually get reposted multiple times

 

All natural lye...just add water!
