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 - Identifying Tractor Smells - by Curtis Von Fange. We are continuing our series on learning to talk the language of our tractor. Since we can’t actually talk to our tractors, though some of the older sect of farmers might disagree, we use our five physical senses to observe and construe what our iron age friends are trying to tell us. We have already talked about some of the colors the unit might leave as clues to its well-being. Now we are going to use our noses to diagnose particular smells. ELECTRICAL SMELLS
