so I found an ad on craigslist for 70-80 logs for 750 and it peeked my interest , so I called the guy he said they varied in length and width ,, so me and my buddie went to see them 45 minutes away , we looked and looked again and called the guy again and asked him the price again he said 750 $ so we jumped on the deal , we got about 40 16-22" 17 ft or longer , and about 40 16-22" mixed lenghs most of them are at least 13 ft or better and we got about 3 big trailer loads of big limb wood for fire wood and the best part is, that it is all red oak and white oak , alot of the logs are perfectly straight and clear , no branches , we just stumbled upon the deal , it was awesome , still have to haul the limb wood out on wed , now I just have to clear some more land to stack and store the logs ,cut more trees down and fill the low land ,etc , I am running out of room , I know its not free but it is pretty cheap ,, craiglist is the best,
sorry no pics havent figured out how to post them yet

Good score! Get it when the gettins good! Get those ends sealed too.

Quotesorry no pics havent figured out how to post them yet
If the pics are on your computer and in .jpg format, then it is pretty straight forward to get them posted here.
Go to "Home", and then down to "Behind The Forum", and then click on the first thread.
It will show you how to set up your own gallery (in your profile) and each step (most will be intuitive).
After the gallery is set up, then just clicking below this message window on "Click here to add Photos to post" will bring you to uploading pics or going to your gallery to get them. Once the pic is clicked on and enlarged, scroll down (the only tricky part) a ways to see two ways to get them in your post.
Use the Preview button to determine that you are successful posting what you want, before clicking on "Post"
Look forward to seeing pics of your great find. Sounds like a winner.
Is there gonna be a "Project" ??? :D :D. Us Southern boys will bring the grits.
Jim, Craig's List may the the best.....in this situation, but don't put all your eggs in one basket. :)
Great deal on the logs! smiley_thumbsup
Just another deal! not a bad one at all! if you figure in grits,, well then all said and done, and as said, one basket is a recipe for disaster, saw them and move on,, david
jmouton,tell them Southern Boys to leave the wall paper paste,chicken feed,so called food item,oh DanG,it's just as easy to say leave the grits in the South and bring your gloves for a working day. ;D
Nice score. Soon you will be needing a hyd. mill. ;D
Nice score. hope to see some pic's
you guys are funny,,, i dont rely on craigslist for logs , i have other sources, and there is no project in the future for u suthern boys so save the grits for next time, i am storing the logs until i have customers for deck boards for trailers and possible lumber or what ever anybody wants, I just finished up hauling all the limb wood and smaller logs today 2 trips and on the last one michigan dot cop was looking for something to do so he pulled me over 3 miles from our mill , didnt care about my huge load of logs on my 10 ton trailer but was concerned about my safety so he gave me a seatbelt ticket , thats nice of him
