    Had a coworker hit me up he was having an oak tree cut down and asked if I wanted the wood. He lives 10 minutes away. I told him to have the tree guy leave the trunk whole or cut to 16”. Went over today to get the wood and the tree guy actually listened and cut it to 16”! I was also able to get the two trees his neighbor had cut down. Took a helper for loading and in 25 minutes had this truck load. A little over a cord.

    Nice score! The price was right and it looks like the tree guy left you with some good straight cuts to work off of.

    For sure a rare happening but good to hear that sometimes they will listen and do right.
