Did you discuss the time, possible costs, and difficulties with the owner? If you so, multiply normal cost per hour and add expenses. That‘s pretty high for one tree unless he has money to burn. No offense.
I’m not sure if this is a joke or what? But we now need more information how long did this take how many hours how many people? Pining_fir_yew 8700$ to break even? People please tell me what I’m missing. Thanks Joeour worker comp insurance rate is 20.00/hr per crew member, add that to cost of salary and benefits, it looks like I'd need to bid that tree at 8,700.00 to break even.
I have to ask why did you go to all the extra work and expense of packing the waste product out? The lake was 70 feet deep at some locations. Some of the "brushier sections would have made great fish habitat. If the Wisconsin DNR did not allow that then why did you not just burn it all on site once the removal was completed? We can all arm-chair quarterback the issue but if you were confident that you did the right thing you would not be on a international website asking for folks to confirm it.Hello all . I did a job and the bill is big. It was a big triple basswood with a lot of top. It had to be climbed and topped before we dropped them. It was on a lake edge, steep hill to come up , or three mile round trip haul across a lake with sleigh and tractor on shacks ice. Here are some pictures . Once on the boat landing it was about a 46 mile round trip to haul it with truck and dump trailer. I was going to haul them out with my horses but I did not trust the ice 100%.
I did not bill him yet but when I figured it all up it came up to a little over 12,000. Would like some opinions on that . Thanks in advance.
