Bid that tree!

[davidwyby]

Looks like a lot of wood? Any chance they want “leave wood onsite” discount?

Halvsies. I make firewood.

Mess of trees on that job. That just a sample, the trickier ones.beetle kill.

Whenever I deal with a tree like that I tend to think ‘they could have atleast left me a better tie in

Seems like a big job! Based on just the photos I’d be thinking something like $2.5k per tree

I’ve been underbidding snowy cleanup jobs simply because it’s hard to see how much is actually there, so I moved to an hourly or per load cost on those
That’s looking like a half to full day job?

oops, i thought two hours on the way home but might have screwed myself….again.

so far they have not accepted my bid though so i might be lucky

2hrs no rake looks right to me, scots pine has crazy fiber. Always wild how a limb will hold on and on vs other conifers.

Drop zone to the right of the truck? full removal/material hauling, or just get it on the ground safely?

Full removal. Drop the right on the truck and the left to the left. Maybe without having to go up, especially if I can move that semi trailer. Driving distance from my shop with a Telehandler….or in this case more likely the 16,000lb capacity forklift


@southsoundtree huge…5’ on the stump, that’s a 48-53’ semi trailer there…


I’m actually thinking about recommending removing the dead one on the left and cleaning up around the base of the one on the right. Homeless issue. However, the eucs in that area are dying off and the green one has a bunch of wound spots….?

 

[Bendroctanus]

$50 and a case ‘o’ stones

 

[Matias]

The 'not dead' one is still pretty fucked up. It's struggling pretty badly. I have never seen those wounds before either, but it looks like they have been getting worse for a long while.

If both can be flopped without too much effort, it's really just a big cleanup job. Half day job, maybe 6hrs, if it can just be piled nearby for burning.

First time for everything
Customer calls for an estimate and tells the office “He has a price in mind” I’m not sure what he meant but I’ve already have a chip on my shoulder from the stupid statement.
So when I show up I see that the h.o started cutting on the crimson then I noticed he destroyed his fence the notice that he cut into the base both sides approximately 2-3” each side and stopped to call a professional I suppose.
Probably a 18-20” diamond but JEEZ!

What the hell was the plan with those stabs in the trunk?! Were they thinking about felling that thing?

Luckily they stopped when they did and I hope nobody got hurt

 

[chiselbit]

And was the price he had in mind anywhere close to reality?

 

[chiselbit]

Yard doesn’t look big enough to drop the whole tree without hitting something, was that his plan?

He probably asked for a discount because he "already did some of the work".
