Bunch of pruning today.

For once in my life we might have over bid a job. My foreman, Jeff, bid 600 on a job that took about 2 hours for my 3 man crew. I never saw the job so I emailed the customer to make sure she was satisfied. In her response she asked why it cost so much and that she would love to hear a little context on the price.

My guys only made 1250 that day as the other job was 650 and took about 5 hours or so. I do not want to seem stingy with her as I try to be really accommodating to my customers. I have never had one balk at the price AFTER the job was done though. Not sure exactly how to respond. I do feel that I charge a little more than many of the companies out here but I am not the top-dollar guy. Regardless I underbid jobs a whole lot more often than overbidding!

Stoked for my wife and I to fly out to CT to see my folks tonight. Gonna take out an incidental maple in Newtown on Monday.

Interesting. Now call yer insurance broker and ask him " why so much".

I recently did. Then I said " Well that is to much! I'll pay 500 or cancel"

500 it is! #### em. We work, they jerk. #### em again. I'll drive my truck into a daycare center, kill everybody in a firery blaze, hope its a 6 billion dollars. #### em!

I agree but no more disturbing than the rest so #### EM! I just hope to go out with a bang... and one hefty insurance claim. I would rather it not be a daycare center but how else can I rack up the dollars so quickly?

Removed a hazardous maple, don't ya love it when you lay into some wood and your blade is so sharp that it makes you laugh. Getting 1/2" ribbons from cross cutting. Makes for a quick day! HO was a older single gay chick, she was real happy, so happy that she had to hug my cute little 110 lb wife, for some reason tho, she didn't hug any of the guys. When she did it, she had her back to me, wife was facing me during the embrace, gives me this WTF look! IT WAS AWESOME!

We are stayin' in today, big yard sell this weekend. Gotta unload 10tons of boys clothes.

And they say I am strange? Seriously, you should have punched that dyke in the mouth. I mean, what if I hugged yer wife? See?

Could ya bequeef the red dump to me and maybe use the Subaru as the baby burner .

picked up a 2002 toro dingo tx425 today. Got plans to use it at least on 2 jobs this week.

Those things are the biggest pieces of crap on the market! You might as well have bought a Steiner.

Possibly but you are gonna have to really want it.

Ran a little 2250 bandit the dealer wanted to demo 30hp. I run a 140hp Carlton usually but this little guy impressed me bought it on the spot. I was trying it on a decent maple stump and I couldn't get the disk to stall. It's got the little Vermeer smoked I can't stand 252's.

Glad i had it today. Had a bad battery cable on the grinder and it wont start. Had to lossen up all the hydrolics so i could set it in the tow craddle and then drag it onto the trailer with the dingo. Bought two new cables, battery, and voltage regulater. Should have just replaced that stuff when i redid the dang grinder. Of course the worst part was i had about 5 more minutes of grinding to do yet, so i had to go back tonight and finish.

I am kinda gonna miss that mug. I cut for two days straight, made a couple bucks, wasn't that hard, kinda relaxing and fun, not very involved. Haven't done any damage with the mower yet but I am gonna join a lawn care website, tell them I am a retired tree guy and to go pound salt.

Just me, my mower and a quart of beer, riding along like I am Paul Revere.

I have used the Dingo to jump start trucks... and push a stumper.

Hi Mike, it could be that that she wanted a break down on price. Some people like a detailed discription on work preformed. So you made with a 3 man crew $100 per man hour on her job and $43 per man hour on the next. Have your foreman break it down for you and then respond. Probably is all she want's.
Jeff :smile2:
