Labour shortage for windblown clearance

[drinksloe]

I'm sure some of the subbies may have made some good money right at time when desperate to get power, phone lines back on and roads open.

So for 1st week or 2 i'm sure some would be on decent money.

But i know some of the employed boys were totally sick of it just long hours of same crappy pay.

 

But once roads are clear and power phone on and then haul roads open that need to be there really is not an urgent demand to get stuff cleared up, unless the estate/land owner is 1 of those types that likes thing done right and cleared up and tidy. But even then it still has to be vaguely financially viable

I mind we were getting shouted at as took us 4 days to get to a windmill site to clear trees of their access roads, but had been flat out opening public roads before that trying to get people/power folk in/out of places.

 

Aye everyone thinks they're timber is worth a fortune, as u see on posts on here all the time, but by the time u take into account the time sheer hard word its really almost worthless or they need to pay u for ur time.

 

Dunno wot ground is like around durham but might be as well advertising now rather than wait till winter, u might get better access now when fields drier as soon as an crops come off.

But again i bet most farmers will have tidied/bulldozed the worst of it out the more valueable fields and it will jus tbe the crap ackward bits left.

Sue be plenty of work but just wether u want to do it or not may be the question.
