Another craigslist folly

I know a couple of guys that have a tree trimming business. They sell firewood as a by-product of that. They would NEVER cut down a whole tree for someone just for "free" firewood to sell or even to use themselves. And doing these types of jobs without insurance is just crazy if you ask me. WAAAAY too much risk. I worked for a guy that did this when I was in highschool. He overestimated my strength(I was a very scrawny teen, tall, but scrawny) and I was just barely able to stop the
log from going through the roof. All he said was "good thing I have insurance" lol
