Ya saying it don't get cold in Jawja?
 
You guys make me glad I live in the big city with few wood burners and moderate winters. I wont even consider going after wood unless it 10miles or less from the house and MOST of the time my tree guys will deliver it to my drive way already bucked up and ready for splitting so they dont have to pay to dump it.

You most be a better negotiator than me because all the tree guys I talk to want money for their logs, at least on my side of town, and I offer to pick up. I drive by one yard all the time that has logs piled up, but nope, he wants cash.

But you are right, I am picky about which ads I follow up on being in Atlanta.

Jawja peaches and Mardi Gras in Nawlins. And the Texas awl bidness. :)
 
I'm looking in the same CL area as you for free wood from time to time, although I haven't jumped an anything yet. I'm more looking closer to my area (Dells). Have you came across any good finds around here?

I've never had any luck on craigslist for firewood. Too many guys looking on the good deals. I scored my best scrounges from word of mouth when people saw the 15 cords on my small suburban lot. Even the town chairperson called me when the township needed downed trees moved. I've since moved to a location where my stacks are hidden, but I have my own woodlot and a neighbor's woodlot for harvesting downed trees.

I have to give the guy credit for his optimism. This pickup load for $389. Not sure if it fills a pick-up or you get to pickup his load.

Hey, that's finally a good deal. I've seen that guy posting for a while and he had been asking $399, but I'm sure someone will pounce now that it's $389.

The "Insaurses" were a little known breed of tree eating dinosaur.

LMAO!!!

I knew you guys would appreciate that one.
I've been meaning to write the guy and let him know is what he's describing is a professional tree-cutting service followed-up by a tree grinder service and then a landscaper.

All we have to do is be fully insured, chop down his tree, pack up all of the over and undergrowth, grind down the stump, fill it in with top soil and then re-seed his lawn.... all while attempting NOT to be eaten alive by the evil insaurses.

Good luck, dude.

What area of Atlanta are you in? If you are on the North side I have two guys up here that will drop it off. One I give a little gas money to and the other is happy to dump it so he doesnt have to pay for it. If you are up here let me know and I will pass on their numbers.
 
At least it's free...

Fair enough.. There is no picture, so it's hard to tell. Though, given the area of Troy, it's likely a group of yard trees.
I'm always wary of the "I know what they are worth" posts.
