Kiss ass much?
You get them yard debris in the log truck safety?? Lol

Got it all loaded up. Got about 2 hrs of work left there and we are done
I tried to get us a nice job out in Canaan. Three huge maples, boxed in by septic, cables, covered in wooden ivy, etc. I came referred from a relative who I've worked for for years. Lady got a ton of prices, all the way from 5k to 10. I was in the middle at 8k. Sounds like she's going with $5500 guy. I ended up telling her I'd do it by conventional means for $6500 if we could double up plywood to get over the septic line. Still not biting as of yet. We'll see.
5k to 10k. Nice.
Honestly, I almost don't even see the point in bidding anymore. There's always gonna some ******* that'll do it for nothing.

If tree guys would all get together and price the same or very simular like garages do we could all make dam good money.
Ha. That's the oldest, most naive idea out there (no offence). There might have been a time when that was a realistic dream, but no longer. It's more like some grimey jailhouse style **** out there these days. Anything goes.

I agree it's a nice idea to dream about. Will never happen. Seen a guy on fb asking for help chipping brush on one of his jobs today. He offered to pay $10 a hour. Lol
I'm surprised you didn't take him up on it. Those payments gotta be gettin pretty big these days. lol
