Nails dont really kill trees unless its an extreme case. Maybe lots of copper nails?

As a forester we see all kinds of metal in trees! Everything from tire rims, wire, nails, railroad spikes, head bolts, screw in steps, etc

Yeah. If nails killed trees, old farmers would have had a lot of trouble hanging wire fence!

Dimensional lumber in the far back of that one ad....id take that. I built a chicken coop from Craigslist scrap lumber. I don't see the reason to make fun of that ad.....somebody could likely get good use from it. One mans trash is another's treasure.
 
Yea that one was not as bad as others. Like when they call it firewood. Or it a bunch of rotted okay and nail filled busted and rotted 2x4s

Yup, this here hardwood has been seasoned from the back bumper to the end of the splitter
 
Only in Canada EH

I mean obviously some of the stoves posted have a value attached, but I think so many are out to lunch. These are probably the stoves that got removed when they bought a newer style stove.

I did come across a Jotul 602 with pipe/chimney/ accessories etc for $450, and a regency? something or other for about the same.

I'm not sure if these are good deals, but I've at least heard of them on here.
 
The advertiser must think it is gold didn't look around to see what was for sale and the prices
Some peoples junk is other peoples gold
 
Never ceases to amaze me what some people think :p;lol:mad:

Not to mention, I'm not seeing any nice lumber coming out of that twisted mess of a tree.
