Went and bid a Big Nor. Maple. It was about 8.5' wide with 7 leads about 16" wide all of 70'/80' or so and he wanted to keep all the wood except but-log. Usually charge about $10 a foot to where I have to climb. I've been doing alright like this but things are slowing down cause gas is almost $3 a gallon now. No way the guy would go for a $2.8k bid so told him $1.4 take the brush and but-log. He hasn't called back and I've been sitting around for almost a week. I can knock the tree down in a day cleaned up and stump ground. All the leads are in close proximity and wouldn't have to climb every lead. But the tree is huge couple tips over a shed. Should I call back and try work something out to get the work or increase my advertising?
Was thinking of calling him up seeing if he got another bid and try to beat the competition without cutting my own throat.
