Reg in the interest of making our industry profitable (as it should be)

what price would you put on a take down like that ?

Mate Im near 8 years out of touch with UK tree work now, so I wouldn't have a clue without being there. Plus we never have to factor in the cost of moving logs here in Victoria....rather, we just saw them up and people take them. Id be interested to know actually, what that job is worth now days ?

I can’t say how much it cost as my boss deals with all that but we had 2 days on it including logging and moving timber but over run a bit because was let down on staff on the first day so was only me climbing and another on the ropes. Second day we had 3 men

I’d be happy with 2k on that.

Sorry guys

It was a bloody rude question I knew when I asked.but as I said it was in the interest of profitability! I’m out the game.

but care about this. We need to avoid the race to the bottom price wise, that’s tough with so much compatition ! 

TTownsend yep respect that

Reg respect that too ! Jus going to watch it again and edit in my price or two ! >>>>

Yes I think Mick Dempsey has it right. That should set the bench mark. A good skilled man/team will make it look it easy (see vid) the less skilled or nervous would have turned it into a right old drama ! And took twice as long !! Going by that . Why should the less skilled earn more becouse it took them longer.

although people are reluctant to discuss this, it’s in every ones interest. To late for me sigh !

At 2 days 3xmen id be lookin about 1800.

Id price 2 days but would be done a bit quicker in reality.

Thanks for posting vid.

Did you get the blower up to blow the roof before you took the last pole down?

Sorry,my pet peev!

If youre going to use carabiners for rigging logs, a good rule of thumb for rigging is to point them out, not in....so the spine sits against the wood and not the gate. See 0.46

agreed. Also double wrap the rope. The extra bite in the rope takes some of the strain off the karabiner
