Depends on how big that kid is, I guess.

Gotta be a pretty big kid tho for that to be 5-6 cords.

We have four acres of forest that someone can come out and cut down the trees for firewood. . Lots of it . Like we said with four acres . there are lots of trees to be cut down . and you would be doing us a big favor for

In return all we ask is that 5 to 8 trees( will tell you which ones and where. ) be replanted in areas of our property to be saved.Plus a little yard work I have some areas that are in dire need of weeding and two flower trees (to be replanted else where) and two rose bushes removed from the front of the house. want it down to the dirt. totally cleaned out .to be ready for landscaping stones. that is all we ask for you to be able to come and cut down trees for firewood or what ever else you can use the wood for . .

so if this is for you . And you are totally serious about doing this . please send an email to [email protected] I want to get this done this month .ASAP here are some pictures to let you know what we are talking about couldnt get all in pictures. dont do ladders. or roofs. lol. PLEASE ONLY PEOPLE WHO REALLY WANT TO DO THIS CONNECT. thanks



Take a look at the pics, most of its worthless scrub.

Any "Yard Boys" in the house????

:greenchainsaw:

 

[Scrapiron]

I wonder how many trees there are actually on that four acres. There's a saying about a 10' pole. I reckon for this ad it should be a 50' pole.

I was really hoping that wouldnt come up anymore....:censored: :censored:

ah shucks, never been called a saint in my life! Sometimes I wondered who was the stupid person in that case.

OUCH - from one sweaty old bald fatman that makes ALFRED look good - that hurt !!!

 

[olyman]

ks--the fat i mean is the humans who are too much over to even work---and they dont want to either--

 

[KsWoodsMan]

I can think of a few to fit the description of "to overwieght now to work". I don't think it was what they set out to do but they don't seem very uncomfortable with their 'existance' ATM. I sort'a feel bad for them till I remember that if they don't feel bad enough to change nothing I think or do will make a change.

No offence taken here. I'm a far cry from being old or fat.

Haha ... "like a cord to be left behind" ... I'll pass on this one

tree limb

there is a huge limb IN our tree that was torn loose by the storm and we have no way of getting it out. I am afraid it is going to fall on us when we are out there. It is really big and you would need a saw to cut it up with and a ladder to get to it. it would make good firewood. if someone could come and get this out we would be grateful. and you can keep the wood and there is a few other limbs that are already down . we are located on the westside off of broad st. thank you so much.

While you have your saw and ladder out, might as well get this other one (someone's follow-up to the first ad)

We have the same problem, only ours is still partially attached and is WAY up high. Any takers?

 

[Dalmatian90]

Haha ... "like a cord to be left behind" ... I'll pass on this one

Looked at the add...he said there was a total of 540' of limbs, so my math says there's only about 1-1/3rd cords there on a good day.

Makes you wonder how much it's people who just don't have a sense of measurement, and how much is people ripped off as to what a "cord" is.

 

[omegajim]

normal thinking has been skewed by $4 gas - people are thinking "if I could just get some more firewood, I'll be set for winter."

Other people - homeowners, are thinking "maybe they will take it for nothing, what the heck."

Folks, these people aren't crazy for asking the wood to be taken away for nothing; we're the fools (not me, but I know a few) that are taking them up on it.

 

[treemandan]

sheesh......now i'm really glad i never talk to my neighbors.

You don't know how good you have it.

I would like someone to take this tree down. Proof of insurance needed. I will take care of the small branches so long as the big hunks are removed.

Bushes (Parma)

I have two bushes that grew over my sidewalk so I cut them back. I want to get rid of them before winter comes full force. I am planning to just cut them offf at the stump and deal with the roots next spring. However, if anyone wants to come save them, please do. I have a small chain that might help and some shovels. I'd be willing to help but I don't know what I'm doing. I've heard they're supposed to be attached to a car or something but I can't do that with mine. IDK

Point is, if no one contacts me with interest in these bushes by next week, I will be killing the bushes I just need them gone, I'm not asking for dirt in it's place or anything.

Large Scotch pine some doug fir, need to clean them out, u dig or cut,

Maybe the lodge pole furniture? Or would be good too cut and season for firewood
Tree's are located outside canby about halfway to Molalla or woodburn
