Usually I don't do to well off craig's list. I don't like dropping dead trees. I can drop in any direction. That makes it a little better.

 

[HDRock]

Nice score , no worries dropping those babies

 

[Paulywalnut]

Nice score. Looks like decent wood. About half way seasoned.

Take your time doing it and learn how to do it right and you will feel more comfortable with it. Also, when cutting, keep an eye on the kerf. You'll know right then when the tree is starting to fall and you are in the best position. That is the time to retract the saw and get out of there. It is the same when bucking the wood. Keep an eye on the kerf and you will know that it is right when you see it begin to close that you need that saw out of there fast. This way you won't get the saw pinched.

This was my craigslist score for today:

The tree company actually made the post on craigslist. Taking down 6 big trees just north of town about 2 miles from my house. Tons of wood there, they'll be working all day ... this is all my small truck could handle in one load. They even did a rough split (as you can see), and loaded my truck.

Those are some nice clean rounds and plenty of them

If I had more room for the rounds, I'd go pick up another load from those guys. Actually have seen 4 posts today on local craigslist for free firewood cut to length.

Question ... is it normal for the wood to have such a pungent smell? My wife had to leave the windows down on her truck overnight to help get the 'puke' like smell out.

You're using your wife's truck? Does she let you use her saw too?

Ouch.

Better to use her car for the dirty work. BTW ... her saw is pretty sharp.
