Too cheap to hire a tree service?.. Look at those cars parked around the tree. The only insurance I have is the warranty on my chainsaw...

Another "Too Cheap" Ad. I will make you a deal. I will cut the tree down and keep the wood on one conidition. I can build a house where that tree is and live there rent free..

This Ad is really saying this. I finally got around to trimming my trees and have piled up a bunch of branches near the curb. Since I'm too lazy, come get these twigs off my grass..

I will agree on the first one (needs a good tree service with insurance) and maybe the last (I would drive by to look for logs). However, the other two are good ways to get free wood. We make a pretty penny on the side grabbing downed trees, clearing property, etc. My favorites are when homeowners drop a tree and cut them up into nice 18" logs. Then I cruise in, load up the truck, split them and sell. Saves my own woodlot. I'm clearing 2 different lots of 4-5 acres each. Oak, hickory, maple, elm. Good money. I'm also driving by a house on the way home tonite that has cut logs and large branches stacked up. If it's good, I come back with the truck and load up on free firewood.

Yeah, you're probably right- but I thought "widowmaker" when I first saw the photo. I'm too new to the game, and wouldn't chance it with this one. But if it were on the ground, I'd gladly cut it up, haul it off, and split it.

I had to laugh at this one. Not only the poor color balance on the camera (pink sky, anyone?) but the obvious need for a pro tree felling crew to safely bring this one down. Yep, too cheap. Way too cheap. And risking a neighbor lawsuit when the felling gets badly botched and neighbor's cars get crushed. Or worse. The plaintiffs would be the neighbor's insurance companies, and those guys are like big sharks. Penny wise, pound foolish. That looks like a 1,500 to 3,000 dollar felling job in my area, or more if a crane is involved. As I recall, the crane rental alone is around a kilobuck per day. Ad that to the figures above.

Yeah, and none of this "you must take it all" BS, eh? ;-)
