Am I missing something?

That figure, every day?

240 working days a year?

Pull the other one!

When you make more money you do more like 340 days a year!

[flatyre]

That's what some firms are paying round here, maybe if they were better they'd get a better wage, or maybe if they got a better wage they might be better? who knows, i'm not a climber:blushing:

That coming from you I don't believe, after all your writing on Arbtalk about stress, family and midget porn.... well maybe not the last one, maybe that was Bolam...

I cant say how many days a year they work but I can assure you that is the rate and if you want them you need to book well in advance, they make £120 a day climbers look very expensive

I didn't start taking regular days off until I was 30.

I've never understood the subbie climber at around the £100 rate. Buy a hedgecutter and make that by lunchtime. I see no glory in tree climbing, it's making money. So what makes the most the quickest wins in my book!

Comes in at £60k/year, top line, Sounds about right for a proper subby to me.

Bottom line is you pay for quality, experience and speed. That costs a bit more.

Good Groundie are harder to find, a good 1 has no aspirations to climb and start their own business, they just want to graft and go home. Usually they don't even think about trees or even remember past jobs.

[Ty Korrigan]

What are these guys doing?

Nibbling the extremities of 50m London Planes?

Daily crane dismantles?

These guys must be few and far between because domestic tree work

(which I imagine makes up the vast percentage of what we all do)

surely can't justify a 'salary' of more than 25k, as for a sub contractor 40k gross 'pro-rata' perhaps is reasonable.
