Anyone needs free firewood, I have a few oaks that fell this summer that I have drug out of my pasture and put in the woods to dry. So they are not rotten, nice and dry, been up in the air. You can bring a saw, a trailer and splitter, or whatever, and get what you need. In Elkin.
 
I don't have a trailer, saw, or splitter. Will you cut it, split, and haul it to me? And stack it right over there?

Yes @Sneakymedic I need you to do this too. Also please bring a nice tarp to cover the wood & please stack kindling on top of the stack.
 
You know what...I sit at a desk all week. I was thinking the other day that I need a weekend gig cutting wood, demo'ing decks or some other low-skilled, highly physical job to get me off my bee-hind and working with my hands. If this were close, I'd do it for beer and chili.



^ Not joking.

I've got about 30 nice oaks that came down about 3 months ago that I can't give away. I just hate to see the wood go to waste and thought maybe I could get someone to come cut and maybe drop me off a load or two just cut at the house to bust. Can't find anyone at all except the likes of some of the comments above.
 
Shame someone 2 miles away doesn’t have wood down. I’d come cut that for the firebowl and in case of emergencies.
 
Oak takes 18-24 months to be fully cured and ready to burn. You got plenty of time - get to work!

I'd love a stack of nice clean oak for my fire bowl but neither of you is close enough to CLT. It's very nice of you to offer this up.

Just how much you wanna cut plenty around we been cleaning up at the house some dead ones, I will say most of the oak has been swiped already but firebowls don’t care.

This is why I do woodworking, my own vehicle maintenance & mods, and help friends with projects all the time. Though woodworking doesn’t count as “low skill” haha.

I have a nice splitter at our cabin, but I like splitting wood too. I’ll do an hour or so just for fun one in a while.
 
If yall was closer to Charlotte, I'd come run my saw for ya for a few hours a couple of days. Dont need the wood, but I'd cut some up for others to come haul off.
 
@Sneakymedic

can you ship to Texas, they ain’t got no trees.
I know flat and hot, with some scrub .... I was gonna say you dont need wood in hot ass Texas, but I think they got snow this past week. LOL
You will be building the tree back out of the chunks of firewood. hahahahahah
 
and I will say this....if you dont have a saw and are in need, Ill work it up for you. You can split it, Ive had my shoulders injected too many times to enjoy doing that anymore.
 
Several years ago I had 10 large oaks taken down around the house, I had the guy go ahead and cut them to firewood length and I stacked them at the end of the drive. I offered them up to anyone that wanted wood and had one (1) guy come and get a trailer load. Several people asked if I could deliver, but no one else came after free wood so it wound up laying by the drive and rotting.
 
People won’t come pick up free wood, but will pay an arm and a leg for you to deliver it. When we cleared the land for my moms house Daddy made extra money selling firewood. People would gladly pay upwards of $100 for a pickup truck load.
 
Sounds fine to me. Good luck with the road. I'm from Franklin Co. originally and never saw that type of problem. Just sounds like too much loose dirt that got really wet before it got packed down good. Not going to be an easy thing to fix till it dries out next spring. The freeze and thaws coming will just keep it a mess till then unless you get a lot of rock and a lot of packing.
