Ok,
Here it is. A friend of mine wants me do do a BUNCH of cutting, clearing etc. I think he already had an estimate or two and didn't like the prices.... He is a friend, so yes, there is a break in whatever price I will give him... but........ He says he just wants everything down, not to worry about bucking up (he says he will do it) or even stumping. No problem, but I don't think he knows how much brush is involved with 24 plus trees......... I don't want to give a "drop em'" price and then end up losing a friend because I just left 24 trees laying around in a "mess" even with a cheap rate..... I know to make everything crystal clear before any work would start, but people who don't do the work never can seem to wrap the noodle around how much is really involved with $$$ for gear time danger etc... So, take the chance with being utterly clear and just dropping everything, or pass respectfully????? Thoughts appreciated.
