Large oak

What's this guy think that it's highly valuable black walnut or something! I wouldn't pay a dime for it. I'd also find out who the tree service was. They may dump all the free wood you want in your yard. Some do.

Looks like its ruralish so he may get away with a year. If he lived in a town or city limit he'd likely get hit with a ordnance violation depending on how uppity the area was. A less scrupulous wood scrounger might even go so far as to report such violations, so as facilitate faster disposal of the yard waste in question.

 

I was thinking about the Walnut thing too .
Oh, yeah , It might be only 2 or 3 months before He puts it up for free to get into hell out of there , I have seen it happen sooner than year on Craigslist

 

Let them mow around it once or twice. It won't be quick enough to see it gone.

 

There might be two cords of wood there depending on the diameter and length of that trunk.
I can get two (three actually) cords of logs delivered and dumped in my yard for $85 to $110 a cord.
I might pay him that should he do the same.
To come remove it ? It would have to be free or maybe even pay me to remove it like he would have to to anyone with the equipment to do it fast.
That's what market prices are here, I doubt they are much different there.

 

If I had grapple truck or big loader would maybe take for free, but would not pay.

 

You makin fun of my farwood saw Horkn ? I'll have you know I can make 2 bags of kinlin with that afore the battery needs chargin.

 

This^^

I replied to a similar add about 2 weeks ago. Told the gentleman if he couldn't sell it, I'd be interested in taking it, but couldn't afford to pay. I think it's about time I send him another message. An ounce of kindness goes a long way in these situations.
I heat my family with the wood and don't sell it, yadda yadda.



Only thing that concerns me is, it's a yard tree, and I've hit my share of metal in them.

 

That's one thing I usually tell people even if they don't ask

 

If there's metal in that one it ought to be pretty obvious. Its been cut and oak will show a blue streak if there's metal in it.

 

Yeah, tell him to clean up his yard using your time, equipment and gas, you'll only charge him $75!

 

Update. I didn't read every post before I posted. $250 to clean his yard?!? Only one thing to say about that; say "Sure, I'll take $250 to clean up that mess."

I'm guessing that's what the tree service that felled the tree was going to charge to remove it all and he said no. But like the man said there's a sucker born every minute.

 

Sounds like a good idea going to send him a message.

 

Sucker born every half minute lol

 

May sound like a dumb question but why would there be metal in it?

 

People do stupid things to trees all the time...
