Well if a double negative infers the positive then a triple surely implied the negative again?  

 Bloody hell, he was right!? I was quite literally baffled by bullshit!

Yes but evidently they're not too strict about that.

What we have here is several failures to communicate. That's how I ended up with 5 chainsaws instead of paying someone to cut my tree down

Yup, I watch porn like a champion, but guess what, I can never find batteries in the house.

Every boss I have ever worked for uses this tried and trusted method for tree works pricing and volumes. Oddly half of them are bust ( I would blame Brexit ), and it was never mentioned on the professional tree Inspector's course I did, possibly showing how traditional and blinkered these guys are to new technology.

Reminds me...

 We once removed a bog standard 2m x 1.5m x 25m conifer hedge.

Client well happy with the price and sent back the quote signed 'bon pour accord, lu et apprové, which isba formality here.

Yet, client calls up in the evening after the job "where are my logs?" 

He also expected me, me alone, to be there several days, a week almost.

Probably had visions of me shoving twigs into a Bosch 3kv shredderette.

True, I never mentioned the size of my chipper or that I even had a truck or employees as all the client saw was my family car when I quoted.

 Client now felt abused, made itvquite clear, no logs and a grand or so for a days work, outrageous!

 I'm not at fault here at all, signed quote was quite clear, no mention of logs, that was a construct of the clients imagination.

Still, to pour oil over these troubled waters and not without a little mischief in mind, I told him I'd deliver a few loads of logs when passing.

And so one day some time after I filled his driveway over the course of a day with free wood.

 That stowed his gob and made me laugh 3 years down the line when I did his neighbours trees in 2017 and saw the same rounds of organic tree wood ranged along his drive and as far as I could see apart from being stacked otherwise untouched.

No mention of drag, no mention of area, no amount of time stipulated ( anything over 4 hours is a full man day). There was 3 people on site, it might of been a hour from there home base why is £800+vat kicking up such a stink that’s what a business consisting of at least 3 people trucks and tools and insurances needs to bring in a day surely? As for the original poster all I have to say is if you agreed to the price you’ve not been ripped off, you wouldn’t be moaning if they spent all week removing them. As for the logs it’s hard to tell exact amounts from the pictures but I personally wouldn’t bother logging anything less than 7 inch anyways and with these trees being the size they are thats gonna leave lot a chippable material.
