This all seemed pretty normal until i got to the end of the listing. That parts odd.....

Fix my chainsaw in exchange for a leaf blower

I have an older craftsman chainsaw that I would like to have repaired. Last time it ran was about a year ago, but I couldn't keep it running.

To trade I have a craftsman leaf blower, with new carb and fuel line

If you work on small engines and interested in this trade, please let me know.

Also may be willing to throw in a 30 min chair massage. :msp_confused:

Thanks

If you are near that guy, might be something to do..well, you can skip the massage I guess..ha!. Carb kit fule line and filter most likely,heck, maybe just the line and a cleaning.

It's funny how people won't look online for repair information, I do that for everything I am not familiar with or want to research tips and tricks, etc. That's how I found this site.
 
Nevermind those cutting from a ladder questions.
(and yes, I've been guilty of some ladder antics, in my life)

you need firewood, I need to borrow your scaffold and....
I need to borrow some scaffold to take down a pecan tree.
you can have the wood to sell as firewood or use it yourself for the winter.
I can help you deliver the wood in my truck.
I can not afford a tree cutter with a bucket.
I have a relative who may let me use their small chain saw.
My ladder is not strong enough or high enough.

If you have a bucket truck and chain saw, I can trade you my moving services, truck and equipment to move furniture, and other items I have such as dozens of new Hanes outer wear t-shirts, world war 2 video tapes and DVD's, and other items
 
Craigs List, Mpls area, has ad for Stihl MS180. Great shape, used very little, $300
I sent him a page snip from the local dealer, $199 new.
He replied: so, are you offering me 199 for it?

Had to explain a bit more to him.......

somehow I don't think the education was sinking in. ....

If you see this ad the untouched tree is still there, read the whole ad before replying..pics are new!



Update! 17 people who have seen it so far, confirm that it is a Huge White Oak tree and they do NOT have a ladder,

or a chainsaw big enough to reach the lowest branch.



Do not park a vehicle or stand under it while cutting any branches (for your safety..and obvious reasons)



Cold season is coming, perfect if you sell firewood..

Free for the wood if you need it, must be taken down area is free of power/water/septic lines

off of hwy 16 south. Caldwell Rd. from what i am told it is a white oak tree, lots of acorns on the ground

Very easy access to it if you use a bucket truck or similar, you can drive right up to it..see pics!

there is a home near by,at least a minimum of 75' away but not close enough to cause any issues with branches being cut.

it is the largest tree there so there is no confusion on which one it is..



At waist height the tree is 3 feet 6 inches across, the ground level is 4 feet 8 inches across..see pics!



By NO means will the BASE of the tree be CUT First! Even the PROFESSIONALS know better.

The outer branches always get cut FIRST then they work to the interior of the tree.

I ask that the outer branches be cut first, then to the inner parts and to ONLY CUT what you can take with YOU the SAME DAY.

I do NOT want a HUGE mess!

Please be respectful of this, I do not want any one to get injured, as the liability will be ON YOU!
 
Any takers? With two people and the right equipment, you could easily waste half your day removing this guys problem for him. Wow!

Free firewood

Do you need some firewood? Its free.

A tree fell in my front yard today. I cannot easily get rid of it. So if you need firewood, It's all yours. You still need to cut it up, so you should bring a chainsaw. A 12' bar would probably be large enough to cut the tree. The tree is about 30' long, and has some ivy in it (no not poison ivy. the normal kind you find all over cali). If you want the tree you have to take all of it, including the branches and leaves. Its not a large tree so it shouldnt be too hard to do for a couple of people. Maybe an hour tops to get rid of it if you know what youre doing.

Like I said, i probably wont be able to help much. But if you are able to get rid of it, just let me know. I will upload some pictures tomorrow when its light outside of the fallen tree. Or i can email them to you tomorrow if you are interested.

Remember, you have to take the whole thing. Ok, you don't have to worry about the stump. Let me know if you want to take it and we can chat.
 
will split wood

custom wood splitting

I just can't fathom this working out well. I mean how much wood do you split in 3 hrs?
i know i can do almost a cord an hour by myself. I also know how much gas i use and I do not have to drive anywhere to do it.
wonder how many takers he gets with that fast fancy equipment.

I can see the demand for it. My dad can fell and buck easily with his small saw, move logs with the tractor, etc. But when it comes to splitting and stacking, the picking up and wrestling with the wood is too much, and I do all the splitting. If he can do a cord an hour with that machine, $25 is a fair price to pay. I would just have everything lined up for him ready to go.
