'King Lift anything.

Why crane it out, was there a time limit or something ?

 

Access doesn't look that bad from this angle.

[John Shutler]

there was very little drop zone, it would of been a pain riggingit all down and there was a fair lean towards the house, another guy priced to take down without a crane but the people went with jimmys quote.

[Dean Lofthouse]

We've all taken down bigger trees in tighter spots, all I can think is Jimmy must be good at selling

 

I'd never get a job adding the price of a crane on.

 

One thing to consider is the customer is paying a lot of money, if the job is done and dusted in three cuts and two hours work they are going to be left thinking how much they have just paid for such apparently little time.

 

I'm sure he will have justified it some way

 

The other day, I tried adding the cost of a second climber onto a job and explained to the customer my legal obligations as to having a rescue climber on site (dodgy tree and for insurance reasons there was high risk to the house), I never got the job
