Had a lady offer me "a lot of trees" basically, we had a REALLY bad storm come through last July, and they still have all these trees (apparently about 40-50 of small to big sizes) laying around.
They need to be limbed out, chunked, and hauled off. She told me that I could have all the wood I want, if I was willing to cut it up and haul it out! Sooo, basically, free wood, heres the catch though...
It is an hour away, and I could only haul about 1 1/2 cord at a time with my truck and trailer (that would be 2 short box chevy trucks). By the time I drove there and back with a load of wood, that would be $40 in fuel, plus I have probably 4 hours of cutting and loading? That is $60-80 for me if I was working else ware.
The other thing, is that we have LOADS of wood around here, probably 3 years worth, so I do not need it, nor do I have a place to store it, so I would want to sell it. IF I could find a buyer, the going rate for rounds is somewhere around $150 a cord, delivered.
So, if I bust down all of my costs, say $50, that leaves $100 for me per cord, and that needs to be spread out over 7 hours (2 for driving, 4 for work, 1 for unloading).
Thats $14 an hour. Lot of work, lot of driving... What do you guys think? The thing that hangs me up, is that there is NO guaranteed sale, however it is going to cost me money either way...

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
