i always browse the free section on craigslist to see whats in there, usually idiots lookin for you to clean up the branches in their lawn... i dont really need the free firewood, but its been a goal of mine for some time to get free wood from craigslist,i see other people scoring,i always see the ads, the pictures, i wanted some of the action! i wanted my first craigslist score!
well it paid off and i finally answered a good ad lastnight, she said several other guys contacted her already, so i figured i would hit it up ASAP tonight and grab a load and check out the situation,
i was the first one to make it there.
i wish i had brought my camera, probably a total of 10 cords, ALL OAK, red/white/pin , already cut into lengths from 16-24" length, all 8-24"+ diameter, no brush/branches, all put into a pile with a machine at the end of a new construction culdasac! access couldnt be any easier, back trailer right up, all the wood is on the pavement already!
the lady new her stuff, she said there was a bit of rot, but 90% good clean wood, she was right, hardly any rot anywhere, just good clean oak! little over 20 mile drive each way.. loaded the trailer with a cord, and said i would call her tomorrow to come get more. she said a couple other guys were supposed to come tomorrow , but to come on over whenever i wanted.
i picture pulling back into that culdasac tomorrow, jokeying for positions amongst 2-3 other guys with trucks/trailer fighting for the "good stuff", well see what happens. one guy coming told her he was going to "take it all" ... lol.. good luck, 8-10 cords of green red/white oak, all 8-24+" diameter, ill bring the camera tomorrow, there will probably be several overloaded trucks, including mine
anyway, pics for proof after i got home, yes it happened, i popped my craigslist free firewood cherry and i didnt even break a sweat doing it!
