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
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.
The Amish are often actually allowed technology and electricity for business purposes… to an extent, and not universally. But still.
It would be damn hard to compete otherwise.
This is both hilarious and sad… It’s hilarisad
Amish discord must be lit
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.
I live near Amish country, and they won’t come out for one smallish tree. They will give a discount for quality wood, but they won’t do it completely free. Lumber isn’t that expensive around here.
Are they insured?
It depends on the community.
Would they take care of morning wood?
It depends on the community.
Lmao
what the fuck leave that beautiful tree alone!!
Don’t feel sorry for it, that tree committed multible instances of driving under the influence
tt also committed Treeson!
And batree
These puns are treeific.
You just reused a word for a pun. Why wood you do this?
It got so many DUIs that they upgraded him to a Felony.
He still goes hunting twice a year despite it not being allowed to own a gun.
It can be a hazard next to houses. I’ve seen many health looking trees fall on them after storms/ice storms.
I’m pro-tree but after a Fall of constant leaf-raking, I can understand why so many people have bare yards.
Serious question: why are you raking the leaves?
Probably to fufil the anti-worm and anti-compost agenda that is prevalent on any social media.
Just a hunch.
Or the glorious HOA made an edict.
Both trees near my house have fallen during a crazy storm. Our pine-tree missed our car by like 2cm. It was incredible. Ripped out, roots and all.
Our other tree split during the same storm and damaged our roof.
No more trees within falling distance of my house, ever again.
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 mean technically, if they aren’t getting paid I think that makes them (and me) amateurs.
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.
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?

There’s no economy of scale in suburbia
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 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.
It’s like 15-20 dollars in my country
There are a ton of variables involved in pricing. Every case is different.
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.
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?
If they lived like a block away from a Lumbermill willing to buy Aspen then I would consider it.
2000 dollars wtf It’s like 15-20 dollars in my country

Nah if the guy dies they just find another juan.
Why so sarcastic?
You get $2005 worth of wood to sell!
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.
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
