    LOL! It is not! I’d definitely call 203-BuzzSawBrad first if I needed firewood!

    I found that ad on FBM last night. Looks like the guy has cut some up? Somewhat confusing the way he has reworded the listing.

    Thanks Brad, I just found it. Poster calls it a “trade of service”.

    I also saw an ad for some free fire wood that’s right in town for you. Looks like Oak.

    Yeah i saw that one too. I wont take oak due to the extended drying time. I will take if i have a rack for it or part of a pile that i have to take all or nothing. Plus i like to cut my own length.

    Not much in the way of quality scores in my area. Lots of junk wood.

    I have some road kill in Northford i spied last weekend and may go check out today, but the POCo festival is going on there so its nuts with traffic.

    Never heard back from the score Look What I Found! yet. Ill call him Monday

    Gotcha! Oak does take awhile. I’m kinda surprised no one jumped on that score as of yet.

    And another one. I do wonder if any of these ever sell. I have seen live slabs for sale for what seems outrageous prices to me. Never see em sold, just for sale.

    I'm so glad they circled the tree. I might not have seen it. :whistle:

    Haha, they circled at what point they measured the circumference.
