Brushing required

[hiites]

What exactly is meant by the term "brushing required" when cutting firewood? Sorry for my ignorance but that's a new term to me.

I believe that means that you also need to remove the brush and associated sticks etc. when you take the firewood.

A craiglist add or someone giving you a tree to cut up and haul away knowing its for firewood might use that term to leave the area clear of leaves and branches. How rude!

Brush your teeth so the homeowner doesn't have to talk to someone with stinky breath?

Just kidding, most likely the above answers

You can take my firewood for free but you have to clean my yard up with it.

You can take my firewood for free but you have to clean my yard up with it.

And don't forget to clean the gutters too

It means you have to ask more questions. I bet the answers above are right, but that still doesn't tell you what the guy who posted on Craigslist.had in mind. Maybe it means take the brush away with you. Maybe it means pile the brush to the side. The first one is a lot more work than the second.

It should be noted that many post things on CL that are intended to take something from you. ie. free work for some firewood when they would normally need to pay to have the wood removed and pay to have the yard cleaned-up, gutters cleaned dishes washed and watch my kids while you are here doing that yard work for the "free" wood.

Maybe it means to clear the brush away from the base of a tree before you fell it. So you dont trip over raspberry vines while you are trying to escape the crash scene.
