Making Firewood pay.

I often wonder am i making any money of firewood.

I just did a job big ash tree, really long trunk with a weird crown stuck on the top. i had quoted to remove the tree and then gave them a token of 50 quid for the wood. it too 2 hours to get the tree dismantled and down and the rest of the time discing up the butt and moving it to my yard. from that i have allready sold 2 loads at 100 quid and i reckon that there is at least 4 more left in it. it took me and jim an hour to fill the back of the landy using the splitter.

if only all jobs were this rewarding.:001_smile:

I think that it is wortrh pointing out that sawdust is based up in the lakes, which if it is anything like down here, all timber has a value, whereas (and im guessing here) in surrey people have central heating and just want the wood gone from there manicured gardens, seeing it as a burden. It is very difficult to charge to remove timber from tha majority of jobs down here, and in fact on most jobs i dont get to remove any at all.
