Sometime last year I had to get a big tree taken down. It was leaning dangerously towards my shed and had splits and rotten bits and would eventually fall. So for $650 I got a guy out to chop it down . . . carefully. Later I gave a big part of the truck (called a billet) to my neighbour because he is a nice guy and does a lot of work with big hunks of timber, fence posts and more, and also I knew he would lend me his woodsplitter so it was a chance sort of pay him indirectly for his kindness.
Then me and a friend cut up the remaining timber with a chainsaw then split it all up into firewood. I let it sit in piles for many months so it would dry and out be ready to sell this winter.
My main aim is to recoup the cost of the tree felling and have done a deal with Peter who runs the local post office and he has bought 4 ute loads of firewood for $500. I still have about $300 worth to sell so I should come out ahead. Very nice, but a lot of work.
Update: ended up selling all the firewood for $950.
I love that your pic is on the truck! Nice that you made some cash with your wood. Good wood is hard to come by around here.
