I've got a needy 2 year old and an annoying Mrs so sometimes I don't want to finish early. 

Same here but I have a 4 year old and a nearly two year old! 😂

Depends on the job, I don't like to do more than 8 hours on a saw but if it's on a tractor 10 hours plus is fine (and on the farming side of the business the only way). 

 

Working long hours isn't for everyone but if it's not too physically difficult and you enjoy the job it's no different to working 8 hours then going for a drive/to the gym after. Except you get paid. 😉

Using my little tractor and timber trailer i love it and when i get on that its get me off it if you can, i have spent many 10,12,14,16 hr days on that tractor, NO drugs just a butty box and 2 flasks but when we have a couple of hundred tonnes of timber down and the going is good but the weather forecast for the wk after is crap its a race against time, I have gone on site at 8am and not left till 2am more than once as if i had not done it the timber would of been sat there for another 3 months but it was extracted on a wagon down the rd and money in the bank, put a bit of effort in and you will be rewarded, simple,

Are you the guy that used to do stumps?

I was trying to think who his style of posting reminded me of the other day and couldn't bring it to mind.

I work on my own most days, starting between 7 and 8 normally,  20-30 minutes at 10-10-30ish, 30 minutes between 1 and 2, maybe 10 minutes around 4 if I'm crrying on late. 

Normally I'll do about 9-10hrs a day, but I'll do whatever works best- Monday i only did about 5 hours, all in the yard, not on site, yesterday, I did 7.30 till 4 putting up a fence, then 4.30 till 6.30 loading up the digger and ringing up logs. Today I was in a workshop 30 minutes away working on the digger from 6- 1, put the digger away, finished a fence, back to the yard for 4, then 3 hours sat comfortably in the big tractor flail mowing a field. You can't beat a bit of Variety!
