As the title says, I just can't pass this up. Even though Im about 4-5 years ahead.

My co workers was asking me If I know anyone that can haul this wood away. His dad is having someone cut it down but just leaving it there, branches & logs. So we went after work today I took some pictures and sent them to my other buddy who has a clam truck. If all goes right. My buddy gets paid to haul the logs away to my dads place were, I can cut and split it in time. The tree is about 5 miles from my house but The city would fine me if I had this stacked in my front yard. There is no way to get to the back. I had nothing to measure the trunk with but my feet with boots on and it is appx 7 boot ft . Plus just one main tree

Sounds like a good deal to me and a good wood score.
 
Real nice there...
 
I would take it!
 
Got a call couple months back load of red Oak- way out of places to put it, but took it anyway- More than a cords worth css ( which I still have to do. yah, I been lazy this year - but there is 40 cord css reaching back 5 years so no real rush - not to mention going toe to toe with the city this past winter on my fuel) Was thinking of slabing some of it up, but that idea is not going to workout due to other circumstances beyond my control.
 
It has been delivered to my dads place today, it was 2 loads.I went to check on the pile and I forgot to take pictures. But I did take a few at the job site. The base of the stump was 6 '. I didn't have time today to take pictures of the main truck.

Well I'm almost done with this pile. I just started working on it again in the last few weeks. 6260b0f15f399f79b1af1cff4055ef1c.jpg02b19c1df260dccd70ed4f98ed29b64f.png
