I want to message the guy that he's going to need a tree service to drop those since they're right in between the power lines and his house. If they drop and buck, I'll gladly come by and help clean up. Hell, I'll even come and help buck. But getting just anyone to drop those suckers where they are? I wouldn't ask someone to do that around MY place!

Well I DID message him. And he found someone to come and do it - take all 6 trees down and haul them off - for free.

To be perfectly honest, if I had the gear:

A good saw with a ~24" bar or so, and maybe a smaller one for limbing
A full size truck with a full size bed
A dual-axle trailer

(and time)

... then I would take him up on it on the provision that I'm not liable for anything which might come down wrong.
 
Offer him enough, and he might let you cut this dead tree down in his yard.

"Large Cedar Tree - Main trunk is 30" x 15'
Numerous smaller logs (I will post picture shortly)

I would imagine this would be of use to a hobbyist or someone with a small Sawmill.

There is a central core of the tree that has died.

$ Best Offer $ for the wood.

Send me an email or give me a call, ready to sell."

Haha! Love this line, "We are aggressive and want to be your firewood dealer or supplier."

"Have your wood custom cut to your lengths, no extra charge!" It's cut and seasoned while you wait. :)
 
I like the fact that they will cut to length needed. Make the deal for green with a discount and it will be the same age but cheaper.

Could the wood on the bottom be "stacked" to form a wall retaining the gray wood that is "dumped" causing an optical illusion effect?
 
I agree but it's gotta be drier than what's on the bottom of the pile.
 
I found this today and don't know what to think about this one

2 x 4's and 1 by's for outdoor or indoor wood burners. Excellent burning. Dramatically increases the temperature making your unit more efficient. We consistently have 100 tons. Mix with logs for a hotter fire. We can sell it all or just some. Cost is a $100 ton picked up. We can deliver it anywhere in the entire Midwest up to 16 tons per load. Delivery rates vary.
 
Translation: "Our disposal bills are killing us. Please pay us for this stuff."
