Answered a CL ad for "all you can haul firewood $40". Since I've got a 16' trailer and a 3/4 ton truck I figured it would be worth $40 for all I could haul....
So I get to this guys house and he tells he he is a 100% full time tree service. He has wood stacked everywhere and I tell him this is the first time I've ever paid for wood and we visit for almost an hour before he asks if i'll haul off some really old stuff that is too far gone for him to sell as firewood. I said sure. He and his helpers loaded up my truck and trailer with about 70% good wood and 30% too far gone wood. When he was done I asked what I owed he said $20 for helping him clear some space. Truck was loaded down on the drive home. I split all the rounds and unloaded the mostly rotted stuff near our outdoor fire pit. On Sunday (yesterday) the guy calls me up and says he has a couple tree trimming and a couple removal jobs in my area. All white oak and asks if I'd like them to dump dump truck loads in my driveway. I said sure but asked him a price. He said $20/load.
This just gets better and better and all because I made a friend and helped him out by spending a little time cleaning up his place.
