I think some benevolent and powerful moderator should make a CL/Kijiji sticky

There are some silly ads where I live, but honestly there's some good opps too if only I had more time

FREE WOOD (Glastonbury)

Free seasoned Oak wood

Some of that looks fungi looking, but I'd take it all just the same. I get free firewood alerts in my inbox and it hurts to let them go. I'm either overstocked or it's too far.

I'm glad someone else can emphasize with my pain on passing it up! Oh well, more will come around when I'm ready.

I don't know about every one else but if I have to haul away all the brush, they can keep it, even hardwood or what ever

To me this is totally obnoxious for an even more rudimentary issue. People (including many pros on these forums) get paid good money (justifiably so) to remove trees. Hopefully their fees will cover their costs, equipment, labor, risks, insurance and hopefully even leave some profit. So why in the world would anyone do FREE WORK by felling the trees just to get "free wood" that still has to be cut, split, stacked and seasoned? I could maybe see it for some rare, exotic woods, but pine?!? And THEN add on the "you've gotta take the brush too..." part and it really gets insane -People are crazy!

My thoughts as a non-pro...

 

[StihlHead]

But there must be at least 20 cords of wood in that tree! And everyone else is posting ads on CL asking for people to remove their trees for free, so may as well do it too. And so what if we are low life scum sucking turds that will just not flush.....

I say flag 'em.

How do you set up CL alerts for free wood? Or is it some other alert system?
I have been trying to get CL alerts set up for when I want something rare (like a DR trimmer) and cannot figure it out.

My alerts are on Kijiji. Craigslist just isn't as popular up here, and I hear that Kijiji isn't that popular south of the border.


Here's a sampling of what comes into my inbox:

I have craigslist pro on my phone look in the app store it shows up on my phone as cpro you can set it up to alert you to any key words. I have mine set up for firewood I get several alerts a day the only problem is I cant figure out how to narrow it down to a specific area so I get a lot of alerts for stuff that is to far away.

Some from here. Nothing too bad like some of you have. I'm disappointed I can't find any gems to share.

If this is all of it, that don't look like three cords. Rounds, chunks and hunks, I doubt seasoned.

Approx 3 cords of different hardwoods already seasoned! oak/cherry/walnut etc NO PINE!! Please call or text 717-698-5725 350.00 need gone asap. if you can get it with in the next few days I will let go for 300.00 Thanx

Full cord of rounds = 1/2 cord split?

Typically splits will be about 1/3 cord more than rounds. More air space in there than the rounds.

Firewood (Near Paradise Park)

Dead pine tree at front yard next to driveway. Lots of fire wood. Must have your own tools to cut it. You haul. If interested, please email me. Saturday or Sunday cutting only.

 

[HDRock]

Looks like good wood but boy did they butcher this tree or what ?


Free Wood Lots Of Wood
Free wood come get it..just cut tree down the other day..'

 

[StihlHead]

Looks typical for what I carve up and haul off around here, except there are a lot of thin rounds for whatever reason. I would be on that pile like white on rice (if it was not Tree of Hell or Cottonwood) and load the small stuff first, and then start noodling up the rounds. That way late arriving people look at the rounds and leave, or some guy will haul out a maul and start splitting it the hard way while I slice up rounds into manageable chunks for loading and splitting later. Looks like a cord and a half there.

 

[StihlHead]

Here is a typical one this evening here. Remove our messy tree for free... for the wood. Because someone told us that the wood is valuable. Dunthorpe is the most expensive area in the Portland metro area. Big lots there, might be able to fall it freely. Then again... when does that ever happen?

Black walnut tree, you cut, you haul (Dunthorpe / SW PDX)


We have a very messy, very tall, very old Black Walnut tree that needs to go. I was told the wood is quite valuable and that someone would cut down and remove the tree for the wood alone. If you are interested please let me know. Thanks.

The way to do this is to add the acceptable locations to the search string using Craigslist's "or" operator, which is the vertical bar that looks like this: |

Search the Free Stuff category for Firewood Neighborhood1|Neighborhood2|Neighborhood3|ZipCode1|ZipCode2|ZipCode3, and the search will turn up firewood in any of those locations. If any of the municipality / neighborhood names include spaces, you need to put the name in quotation marks, e.g. NeighborhoodA|"South MunicipalityB"|ZipCodeC.

"Oak tree. live. 12 inch diameter.
It has to be removed because it is in the way."

(No wonder they want this tree cut down.. its grown in sideways.)

Maybe it's because good hardwood is a little more scarce up here, but I would jump on that one (if it were nearby). Looks like it will fall clear of obstacles, straight down the vertical hill
