If I were quoting for the same set-up I'd be about double that, maybe reduce it a little, but still a lot more than that figure.
Got a job planned for tomorrow, only took it on because I can leave DF there. Cutting a bunch of small trees out down by the water, but everything is covered with poison ivy. Got a few low suckers on 2 big oaks, but had it not been for DF I never would have taken the job. We were gonna go do it last week, but I was afraid with the heat that he would wind up in the hospital. I figure there are 2 ways to get the material out to the truck, 1. run a reverse speedline to the truck in the driveway, and 2. "Here you go DF, here's a saw and some loppers, I'll see you tonight."
He was supposed to work with us yesterday, because that job was supposed to require some nasty digging to get a tree set. Told DF on Thursday we were working on Saturday, no response. Called and texted him several times on Friday, got a response late afternoon he couldn't work, he had to go labor 50 miles away for crap money with some mexicans. Told him I was counting on him to be there, he said he'd see what he could do. Didn't hear from him until 6:30 Saturday morning "I'm working for the guy today" great, I made do because I had already made alternate arrangements. 8:00 I get another text from him "I meant to say that I was working with you." Stupid stupid stupid. Told him to go hang out with the mexicans. I sure hope he shows up tomorrow. If he has to carry the material out, it's going be a solid 500+ foot drag, and he's gonna be picking up probably 100' in elevation.
