I've worked it out. If I give you all my account number and sort code and you could all donate £10 then I will be ok. Pm if you interested.

I haven't worked for 8 days now and on my reckoning I will be bankrupt and homeless in about 3 weeks.

 

Really? Are you serious, as you never used any smilies:001_huh:

Great thread, but it's taken me ages to get through it!

 

Brodie, I'm on your side to a large extent, we all deserve to earn more IMO, but as an old boy once told me (when I was having a whinge) - 'The crack is worth ten grand a year!'

 

I think the money you are after is fair for a decent SUBBY climber, but not on the books.

 

I run my own company, and will never employ anyone. Using subbies gives me (and them) far more flexibility. If I employed you I would also be paying Employers NI, holidays, sick, paternity leave etc.

 

The main thing is, though, I never have a consistent amount of work to do.

 

3 weeks ago was flat out, this week so far I have 2 days booked in. Competition has never been as intense, and I'm not just talking about pro tree firms.

 

Example - recently quoted £700 to remove about 12 Leylandii, 2 days graft for 2 blokes, 2 (Tranny) loads of chip, 1 load of (crap) cord. Fair price?

 

The customer (clever, rich, lovely folks I have worked for twice before) went with a quote of £350 from the bloke they get their logs from.

 

Took him and his mate 4 days, and he had to hire a chipper!

 

Not only can I not compete with that price, I have no intention of trying!

 

That kind of thing is happening a lot right now, B&Q must be shifting loads of saws! It's tough out there at the minute, definately. You just need to man through it till the good times roll again.

 

Would I price jobs cheap just to get them and wreck my truck, chipper and gear for nothing? No chance.

 

Would I get out of bed for £50 a day and graft for someone else just to put food on the table if there was nothing else? Course I would.

 

Good luck with it pal, whichever path you take.

Lorry, top post about friends and family and that, mate.

 

Made me think a bit, appreciate it.
