    A buddy of mine tipped me off to a guy that cleared 80 trees from his property, he didn't want to pay the extra 2k to have the tree company remove the logs.. So he's giving it away.
    Anyone close to Matawan NJ is welcome to join the party. I'm grabbing locust, maple and some cherry. There's a lot of wood.. He said a lot of people are interested, but I had the first crack at it.i was only able to cut and haul 3 logs today.

    Thanks , I could back my truck right up to the pile and drag them out. It happens to be on my route home everyday from work, and he gave me the ok to stop there whenever I wanted, so I guess whenever I have time I'll grab a load.

    Great score, be sure to take advantage of the offer. You'll be a lot more productive when it cools some :)

    I'd get a buddy and a trailer and haul as much as I could.


    Great score, get as much as you can!

    Right where I want to be.
    Which means every day for 1/2 hour. It'll add up quick, and you won't be working super hard for it.
    Just remember...the turtle won the race.
