My Dad had 2 very large oak trees which were uprooted in the storm. The wood is available to anyone willing to get it. We have cut as much of the tree in the front yard into smaller pieces and it is by the curb. We have not yet been able to do the tree in the back yard. Please email me if you would like the address. (I'm not the best estimator of wood but I'd say it's around 30-50 cords)

Maybe it is California Redwood vs oak?!

If he's not the best estimator...I wonder what the worst would come up with?

Those ain't no dictionary cords.

if this guy saw my piles he'd think i have a million cords. lol. its funny though i got a call from a guy on craiglist said he had a huge oak tree i could come and cut up said it was at least a 3 or 4 foot oak about 20 feet long at least a cord of wood in there.. i said alirght ill come look and i got there it was a nice like 18 inch round oak. nice easy cuttin. lol

Hes a little far from me to make it worth it, especially when we have a TON of down trees in my county. There was an article in our paper today about how the local dump has had a huge increase in yard debris being dropped off from the recent tornado. Too bad they wont let any one come in there to cut (trust me, Ive tried) , they grind it all up for mulch.

cloud be this guy

 

[burntime]

Are those "dictionary" cords? :lol:
