.... will you cut up the mulberry
for me & haul the brush from it & from the pine that is already on the
ground up to the road for me when you come next week, & then come back &
finish cutting off the pine sometime soon when you can bring a spotter? i know you said that it is not a good idea to use spikes to climb a tree that is not going to be cut down, but maybe you can just jump from the roof on to the tree?

What the.......Avalancher I think you should keep those free craiglist rounds on the side and split em by hand...just think of that weasley homeowner every time you swing your maul....

[woodguy105]

Here's the next one, not nearly as bad as the last one I posted but still absurd considering the glut of free firewood available every day on craigslist around here. To my eye it's 1/2 cord max. For reference, the going rate for 1/2 cord split and delivered is about the same, $150.

Let us not forget just how valuable wood is, though. Some of these offers seem perfectly reasonable - 2 cords of wood for a new roof, for example. Hey, this guy thinks so, anyway:

'Decorative accents..' O-o..... "Yesh and here is my rotten birch accent, ain't it bootyfull???"

Check this one out - note the delivery charge. If thet sell I figure the guy could pull in at least 3 grand a cord selling this way.
Just put in my order. Can't wait till they get here. Think I'll order a few of the shelf brackets as well.

I wonder how they would react if a chip truck dumped a full load of wood in their driveway and just drove off!

 

[Nacho82]

You guys have to be making this shi t up. If your really going and doing bit ch labor for a little wood, your crazy in my book. They need to contact a tree service and get a quote, instead of begging for freebies. The quote is always higher if the wood is to be hauled away by us. The only ads I would ever go to are ones that have a picture of stacked up hardwood in an easy to reach location.

This is a deal, you can do free labor for free.

Or, not quite as good a deal, you can pay for the privilege of doing free work

Sadly, some jackazz will probably pay him.

Thanks to all that posted, in answer to the questions, no I am not making this stuff up. I copied and pasted word for word what he emailed me.
Now I am in a real dilema. I know he wants me to return to finish the job, 3/4 of the brush from the job still needs to be dragged to the road. When piling the brush to the side, I layed a heavy piece of rope first on the ground, then when its brush pulling time I planned on leaving the truck and trailer at the road and run the winch line down to each pile and hook on to the lasso around each pile and pull them all the road. Now I dont know what to do.
I sure dont want to go back there, but I ALWAYS keep my word. The deal was I get the wood, and I will pull all the brush to the road for the city to pick up. I have one load of wood there, my $$ for the damage he did to my saw, and I have a job to finish. But I sure dont feel like listening to any more crap! What to do?
I hate going back on my word, but a guy can take only so much!
What would you all do?

I'd go back and do what I said I'd do, but no more than that.

Show up, put your plugs in your ears, then put your ear muffs on, then get busy.

When he shows up with his new list of chores, tell him that you didn't sign on as a groundskeeper, but that you will finish what you said you'd finish.

 

[beerman6]

yup.
