it really pees me off

[Hodge]

A good mate of mine works for a local road contractor, a very well established firm. I have done stump grinding for them in the past. a few months back they asked my mate to fell some trees on a site they were working on, my mate has 30/31 so he did it. they asked to hire my chipper but i refused as i did not want it being miss treated, so they hired one in. a few weeks ago my mate told me they had another tree job on but this time they needed climbing and dissmantling, he suggested that he get me in,his boss told him to get on with it.

my mate rang me to ask where they could hire a cherry picker from? so they can take the trees down.

now i know you cant win every job and there will allways be people that are gonna do the job for cheap but this really pees me off. all the training and insurance costs to be able to carry out a job safely and you get idiots like this.

 

maybe i should start tarmacing and laying drives.

Do you want some cheese to go with your whine?????????

 

Its a free country, it better to win work on your skill and efficiency, not bits of paper IMHO.

 

Those who are not interested in getting the job done by a pro are not worth a second thought, leave them to make a mess and look like the fools they are.

lol builders tarmacerists with chainsaws don't worry they will have you in to get it off the cherry picker then the hire firm will take them for damages and they will have no tree work insurance .Let them screw it up and charge them more ,bet they want to hire your 660 when they get it to the stem .
