People just are unwilling to take free stuff. Im always trying to give away free semen and I do most of the work to boot.
The boot may be your problem.
In the US it’s called a “trunk”.
Yeah, most people use a sock
Rookie mistake. Using the sock contaminates the sample with semen from all the other guys in the building.
Go to a shoe store and use the disposable socks you savage.
Nah, lots of people here in the US enjoy licking them.
Depending on the type of wood, the Amish will literally do this.
They don’t tend to respond to many social media ads, though.
You might actually be surprised by that
Amish discord must be lit
Well, all the ones that might have were outed by the national alert system test a short while back. So maybe not.
Wat?
There was a national alert that was sent out over cell phones a couple months back and a lot of Amish people that had phones were ousted to their community because their phones went off even though they’re on silent so they were kicked out.
Or the Japanese.
The guy who lived across the street from me when I was a kid lived on a decommissioned farm and was a bit of an arborist, among other things. Apparently he had some kind of ornamental tree that was valuable. One night the fucking Yakuza busted through his back gate, cut down his tree, and stole it.
At least that’s how he tells it. Some shady Asian looking dudes had approached him about the tree earlier and he’d told them to get lost. They may not have actually been the Yakuza, but the story sounds much better if they were.
Are they insured?
It depends on the community.
Would they take care of morning wood?
It depends on the community.
I DEFINITELY know tree guys that would do this. Especially if it’s oak, walnut, or some other decent wood.
Hell, even my neighbor (who is a retired tree guy) will regularly take down trees for me that he then uses for firewood. I just have to do clean up.
Pssh, amateur.
I know four guys
Pffft, imagine only knowing four guys.
I am confused on why this cant work.
Surely cutting down trees for wood can be profitable, otherwise capitalism wouldn’t be doing it.
Is it so hard for a professional firm to also source their wood from urban areas to save a tree elsewhere?
Cutting down a tree in a forest is exponentially easier and less riskful than in the middle of a densely built up area.

LOL no. I’m getting paid to cut the tree down and haul it off. THEN I’m getting paid for splitting it into firewood.
$2000 seems like alot of money to cut a tree, i got multiple trees cut down for £600
It depends on how close it is to the house. I’m in a low cost of living area in the US and my neighbor has a tree that’s going to be over $3k to bring down. If it can’t be felled they have to bring in a crane and take it apart one piece at a time. Lots of equipment costs and very skilled and dangerous work
Different country, different costs I’d imagine.
There are a ton of variables involved in pricing. Every case is different.
Are you insured or free time gigs?
It’s like 15-20 dollars in my country
For an insured, qualified, responsible professional? Seems unlikely.
If they lived like a block away from a Lumbermill willing to buy Aspen then I would consider it.
I used to work on a tree crew, 99% sure this was posted by someone ironically. Surprising amount of memes related specifically to arborist related stuff.
2000 dollars wtf It’s like 15-20 dollars in my country
Does your country have something like OSHA and would the tree guy piss off into the sunset instead of paying up if something goes wrong? See, that’s the difference.
Lol you think your shady ass tree guy you hired for free won’t disappear when the splits your neighbor’s living room into two?
Nah if the guy dies they just find another juan.
I think it’s not so bad. That’s quite a lot of wood.
Generally, wood within human spaces isn’t usable in construction. The issue is nails and such that the tree grows around and incorporates. The human-made objects lodged within tend to chip the very expensive saws and such used to commercially process large trees. Artisans often don’t mind it and work around the issues if they want a particular piece of wood, but you’d need to advertise harder than a single Craigslist post to find one to take your entire tree.
Haha I think I would like to meet this poster. He is clearly a “well you have to try” type.
The answer was no before you ask, so asking can’t hurt. There’s a certain logic to it, though only at a surface level.
Why so sarcastic?
You get $2005 worth of wood to sell!
It’s legitimate though. There’s good money in wood
That’s closer to a $4000 job.
I had a tree like this, maybe a little thinner but close. An ash tree that started dying due to ash borers. I had it cut down (stump left) for only $800. Granted, I found a tree cutting service that didn’t use super fancy machinery. But they still did a good job and got it done in like 30 minutes.
Being closer to the house and garage might affect it. We had five ash trees killed by borers. There was a place near me that briefly had been taking the wood, and would come take the ash trees down if they were above a certain size. But after a few months, they had more wood than they could use in a lifetime. Those beetles killed a lot of trees.
It’s also worth noting that the arborist offered to haul away the lumber for a fee, or they would cut it up and leave it for firewood. We put a sign up, and it was gone by the end of the day. We even had one guy bring a splitter and left us a small stack for our firepit.
I just had a large 60-70’ tree taken out.
They used 2 cranes.
$2100No stump grinding
I don’t know how you’re going to make an accurate estimate based on this single pic. One of my best friends is an arborist and it can get very complicated in ways that aren’t obvious to non-experts.
I am not sure how this is “for free”. He is paying in wood. If nobody bites, I guess he will have to switch to money. Good chance somebody takes him up on the offer though making it win / win.
What is the problem here?
