Got Sawdust?
My boss at the farm got an order in for a cord of wood from some guy, so he asked me if I wanted to cut it for him, I said sure, assuming that I would be getting paid my normal hourly wage. When I got there today to start cutting and splitting, he said, well Doug, this is your gig, you're in charge of getting this done and he's going to pay you, you can use the log splitter and pick out wood from the pile over here. So instead of asking more about it like I should have, (mainly from being hungover as all heck from my main job's christmas party the night before) I just shook my head and got started. Spent a bit of time getting the John Deere 1010 running, my 045 didn't wanna cut wood, the 450b blew a head gasket awhile back so I couldn't easily get logs out from the pile which is pretty good size, mostly all 25" and up logs..so now I'm in knee deep I gotta finish the job, but I'm only getting 110 bucks for this job! bossman says that he charges $110 bucks if they pick it up or $220 delivered and stacked. I get paid normally 12/hr and today I put in 5 hours and proberly only got about a quarter cord of wood split due to me moving slow being hungover, trouble getting the log splitter working, having a hard time getting the logs out of the pile to the splitting area...all in the rain which kinda wasn't the best...oh and i got dog scat on my new av gloves and my hookaroon and chainsaw handles and on everything i touched from picking up a log that had it on it without me knowing, at least the rain was good for helping keep the smell down a bit
