Who cares what he does. I bet he doesnt put spurs on and spike everything he can.clearance said:I love it, Mark and Treelo have angered even the Limeys, culls, the pair of them, but at least Treelo can climb. Mark, you gonna tell us what you do?
Why do you care what I do then? I ask cause the guy beaks off on all subjects, including treework, like he is the Pope, so I ask, what is it you do? Probably just a mouthpiece, weekend warrior type.kennertree said:Who cares what he does. I bet he doesnt put spurs on and spike everything he can.
dont worry about it babeBlueRidgeMark said:THAT is one of the silliest statements I've seen on any site.
Nobody gets hurt by press or lawyers?
treeman82 said:When you guys realize that you have underbid a job, what do you do? I gave a price a few weeks ago for this one big oak over a building. I knew what it was worth, but after hearing the competition's price I went down considerably. After some careful thought and consulting with friends who knew the tree I called the customer back and said that I was sorry but I have to retract my bid and proceeded to give the appropriate one which should have been given in the first place. Don't care if I get the job or not, because the competition bid it at a price which one person called red cross pricing... AKA charity work.
What if you get there in the morning to do the tree(s) and realize that you were WAY too low? Walk? Ask for more $?

mark are the names necessary, we know you own a home and this is a serious subject but if were going to get anywhere with hearing and understanding each other we got to cool out. im guilty of getting hot as well im guilty of it too, but alot you guys went wild on clearance with the personal attacks . treeman 5 pages ago got in over his head and he tried to reachout he got a beat down instead , if we are gonna discuss stuff we cant discourage questions, by trying to level the guy peace jBlueRidgeMark said:Breach of contract is petty? You promise me something and then reneg, and that's petty to you?
I guess we know what YOUR word is worth.
Clearance, you have the brains of a maggot and the morals of an alley cat. You are the kind that give business people a bad name. Come on to my property and make an honest mistake, and we'll work it out. Break your word, and you'll hang as high as I can pull you up.
And that's the right thing to do. Contractors who don't stand by their bids are on the same level as dishonest used car salesmen. If you don't know how to bid, that's YOUR problem. Go work for someone else who does.

sawn_penn said:Maybe another way of looking at the problem is "What do you do if you overbid a job?"
Say you bid $5,000 on a job and the customer accepts. Once you do the work, you find that it was only really a $1,000 job.
What do you do? I figure that if you still charge the $5,000 you have less moral right to renegotiate the price on an underbid.
If you only charge $1,000 when you could have taken the full $5,000 then you have more moral right to renegotiate an underbid.
A&Atree said:as a crew leader even if i think that the sales rep has underbid the job drasticly that is not my problem nor my job to deal with it. My job is to get the work done as safely and as efficently as possible regardless of the price that has been worked out on the contract. People make mistakes and if you arrive at the job site with a negative attitude that will only make things worse for your self and crew, so bottom line "make it look easy and get the job donelike you always do"
