Should have that done in about 10 years or so...lol


This is around 7 cords 55 inchs.

A 50' tall red oak is not very big so it is doubtful you'd even get half what they say.

their 8 cord reference is probably to what a typical CL user refers to as a "face cord"
whatever that is...

I hate ads that do that.
I see them all the time, cord for firewood for $150 or so.
Then it results in about 2-3 emails of me asking WHAT ARE THE DIMENSIONS OF THE PILE.
Then them saying it equals a cord, then telling me I don't know what a cord is... proceeding by telling me that a cord is a pile 4'x8'x16"...

My guess would be 4 cords for the whole mess. Just maybe.

Thats my guess, I got some wood from a woman that had 11 oak trees cut down, good size trees, some about 30" and she ended up with a little over 7 cords total.

Ad fails to mention the trees are in a row, between two houses. No sweat, at least 20' on either side. Oopsie, the trees are 50'. Snap!

Let him pay $2k to drop them, then after he realizes he cant get rid of the wood, have him pay you to remove it.

Here's another funny one. 30 facecord worth of trimming in ONE tree. RIGHT! Maybe if you're the "right" person?
