I suppose your right we've just had bad luck with staff all want more wages than we even pay our selves to turn up late and do jack s**t.

 

Yeah, makes me laugh the amount some subbies try and demand, all they do is turn up in their car with a rope and harness!

You're seriously going to have your work cut out to make any money in this way mark. To cut to length, split and fill bags, and make a profit out of it, far easier ways to earn a living!

 

 

I agree with the big man

 

easier money to be made stack up your off cuts & it will give you something to do when the weather means you cant climb

I've had guys asking for £200 a day without any of their own gear. Tree surgery is a skillful job, but it ain't brain surgery!

Think I can see both your points here, Steves right, the subby should have all the kit to carry out the job he's hired for, if its a big t/d with rigging, then he brings the rigging kit, saws fuel etc, then he shoud be worth top dollar for his work. Igottawossname is right, if they turn up w/o any kit why should they get top money? Surely if they have no kit, they cant do their job?!?
