Now that we have a larger house to heat this year and higher up in elevation I thought I would pay more attention to people giving wood away for free on CL etc.
Driving down the road this morning I see a guy moving large rounds out to the side of his driveway next to the street. It dawns on me that the only reason someone would pile large rounds of wood next to the street is if they wanted to get rid of it. So I swing around real fast and pull up and ask him what his plans are for the wood. He tells me that he was going to put a giant "free" sign on it. I tell him not to do that and I would be back quickly with my trailer. So I drive home and return with my trailer and we load up about 1/4 of a cord of maple - all free. I like this scrounging stuff.
