I like it Jay! Good luck with the ad.
 
FLAGGED ;-)

I hope that ad turns out to be a great source for all of you guys!
 
Nice ad. If you did that down here in the big city, you'd die laughing at all the bs calls you'd get.

Got 5 calls today none of them I want but if I guy needed wood quick its out there. Two trees had no room to drop a willow and two monster silvers. Chris you ready to roll Sunday?

One call was from Eaton Mark they have 5 trees if you want them.
 
Hope you dont get calls like a local ad I seen yesterday - some fool had a big pile of brush & if I adjusted my bifocals a bit - I could just make out 1 or 2 smaller rounds sticking out of that trash.

Hey but its ALL 'FREE FIREWOOD',right? ;-P :lol: really amazes the balls some people have.
 
I hear ya....its out there if a guy wants it. Its a matter of how bad do you want/need it. I posted an ad similar to that on freecycle also.....only took one week and got a big blow over red oak. Now I just need it to dry out so I can get to it. Jay, this same guy has 12 more he wants down this spring which means you may have to come on down and show me how its done. I'm quickly running out of room for wood, but I will definetly be there sunday. Gotta love locust. Whos in, whos out, whos bringing what?

Oh I already got 5 crazy calls but thats ok.....Got all the firewood line up just like to pull off a couple milling tree's I can set out back for next year. Should have 6-7 hundred primo bf left and couple hundo's in the shop. Like to stay a year out on my logs.
 
Update over 20 calls in 2 days. Few crazy one's but for the most part big-yard birds. Already in two days have more than we could ever get to......
 
Jay, it sounds like you hit the jackpot with that ad. Congratulations. Maybe some other folks will try this.
 
Jay....you get pics of any????

I really didn't need any firewood trees just looking for big yard birds for milling, but it all works! If anyone need wood this is the way to go you can pic and chose what you want. Oh and there's two new wood burners who have no wood on hand and one is a furnace.

Nice us CT guys should try this

I have had 7 more calls in the last 2 hours.
 
I tried something similar. Only one two guys responded. He was a lawyer and there was a house within falling distance. I felt like I could miss it, but I chickened out just because he was a lawyer and it was a crappy rotting maple. The other response was 30 miles away and they were decorative apple trees or something (there's a thread somewhere on here about it).

I was hoping more for a "yeah, I live on a farm and there is a fence row with some big oaks growing out of it that are dying."
