Depends. If its a Craigslist opportunity, it is a crap shoot anyway. If it is a professional calling me, I rearrange my schedule. The good ones are nice enough to give you a day or two notice. They all have a long list of guys that may or may not show up, may or may not complain about it, may or may not take everything.
Oh. I cant drive BY a scrounge. Even CL scores- I'll run there @ any hour if its within 20 minutes of my house. I went on a CL run last Sat. nite at 10:30 P.M. !
The DC area had the usual violent thunderstorms this summer, when we got back to town there were piles of partially cut-up trees all over. I eventually took a cord of elm from down the street, and there's a truckload or two's worth of maple (norway I think) nearby I keep meaning to find the time and space to get. Seems like the county is never going to take it. And then behind the neighbor's house I had already cut up two big downed red oaks, and one or two more fell. Years ago I would have had to get anything I saw, it was a compulsion. But now that I found a tree service that delivers I'm feeling lazy. (Also the oaks aren't going anywhere.)
I have a scrounge I've been trying to finish picking up this week. I've taken 1 load out so far and the homeowner and tree service cut it All up. They even went down to 2" stuff!! Normally I wouldn't take such small branches but to clean up the yard and since it's all cunt to 16-18" it saved me a lot of work and time. Yes I feel bad that I can't get there sooner but it's all stacked out of the way at least.
well i got everything out of that place i could. all that is left is very, VERY large rounds. they are perfectly round. i called the tree service that hooked me up in the first place. i told them i couldn't get them out by myself. Bob is his name. he said he'd meet me there monday morning.. and he'd split them in place and help me load. WE'LL see
