Clearly this person has limited knowledge of why people DO NOT mill residential trees for lumber.

LOL I see that was posted 22 days ago and updated 17 days after. Curious what they changed? Some people... Chester Springs isn't far from me, and thats in the high rent district

Something tells me this guy will be "personally dropping" these by Friday. Then he'll probably be listing his fresh cut oak rounds for $300/pickup load.

Good luck Bob, have at it haha

Woa nelly This is not a laugh. Please... somebody go get this!

Apparently! If I could fell just one tree and get 20+ cords out of it, I'd go into the firewood business!

I bet tree guys that work for free are lining up:

Firewood, Down Alders-you chop - $125 (Bellingham)
We are taking down some alders on our property. Before we go through the effort of splitting it for firewood to sell, we thought we'd see if anyone would like to save some money and split it themselves. $125/chord if you want to come chop it yourself.

Not sure if they're saying you have to chop the tree down for them, then buck it, split it AND pay them to do it. Or maybe they're saying they will chop it down, then you can buck it, split wood from it and pay them. Either way, bad deal.

I got the impression they're having them cut down and will let you pay $125 a cord to haul it away. I don't buy wood but I've been checking craigslist just for the entertainment value. I think my favorite is the one I posted here on the 17th where the people recently had some trees cut down. "Come fill up your pick up truck for 100 bucks and you're set for the winter!"
Yeah. Pay $100 for a single pickup load of green wood and that's all you need for the winter!
