Today's Scrounge--post the free btu's

[Eureka]

I like your property man. Nice location. Big garage. Good view. That checks all my boxes.

Thank you that’s very nice of you. I’ve worked very hard for it and started from scratch 2 years ago this month. I love it here and the view from the deck is even better. Two private ponds (one has fish, 18’ deep) and a great sunset almost every night. Plus there’s a lot more room to stack wood here than my .3 acre lot in the city that I came from. Call me grateful!

18’ is a really deep fish. Lol

Similar situation here, only I'm 5 years into the journey Worked many years to get myself a little spot in the country...and find a gal to enjoy it with me. We get sunsets over the pond, too but ours isn't deep enough for fish. We've fallen asleep to the sound of loons. Livin' the dream!

Nice haul! Sure that was free? Looks like you were in a hurry loading that pickup

 

[billfred]

Hot and tired. 90 here today

I tossed 3 truck full of brush today. I helped a guy jump his jeep, so i was feeling proud of my good deed. Next trip, i pull up, and there was this sitting next to the city slash pile. Dude working for the city helped me load it, since i was so kind. It's all dry elm, cut to length.

 

[billfred]

Lots of ash. Already cut. Bark is peeling off. Not punky. Free from a friend 5 miles away.

Can anyone confirm what I got here? Black Cherry?

[billfred]

I would say cherry.

 

[T-roy_]

Cherry. Split it and give it a smell, that’ll confirm it for you.

 

[AlbergSteve]

Wouldn't pay for cedar, but if I can get it for free, and drive up to it, I'll take it....like five loads of it! This has been down for a while and popcorn dry.

 

[billfred]

Got paid $100 to take ash. Lots of branches. Had my son do a lot of work. He got the $.

 

[AlbergSteve]

Last week's "please take this off my lawn" - about two cords of maple. Most of it was split when I got there!

 

[Dobish]

does this count as a scrounge? the tree fell within a few steps of the wood stacks....

Its a little punky, but it will still burn. Its been standing dead for at least 4 years....

Yep, burn it!

 

[Dobish]

Yep, burn it!

i'll burn it for sure, but it feels like cheating

 

[EPS]

Some pre-cut cherry logs and what I'm almost certain is oak. Wicked heavy and very dense hardwood. Free!

 

[billfred]

Neighbor had the power company take out an ash tree. 4’ at the base. Lots of wood. Lots of work

 

[JSeery]

Last week I narrowly missed a craigslist ad for some dry elm, so I felt like I had to get "even". Found some huge oak rounds for free on craigslist nearby and decided to give the Scrounge Sedan a little work out. These rounds were monsters and I had to quarter them up with the maul for loading. Three trips with the car fully loaded. This is a bird's eye view. The chunks I split were measuring 31% MC. Should be good stuff after a couple more years in the stacks.

The neighbors had an enormous sugar maple (3'+ DBH) that was dying along the road. The town was nice enough to drop it off right at my wood pile. This could be 2 or 3 cords easy. Lucky the trunk split in half, my 18" chainsaw bar would not have been able to buck it up. Saves me hours of work in the woods and gives me a chance to get ahead.

 

[Medic21]

Paramedic I work with needed some ash dropped. 3 hours of work and a months worth of dry wood. That’s the only hinge I’ll show lol. 25 years and still haven’t got that perfected.

Brought some brush to the city compost site today and saw this nice pile of split red oak. Just had to give it a
home.

Managed to score a couple free loads this week
