Didn't get many Yes or No.

:lol:

 

 

No.........

[Billy]

Yes, I do

[ecotreecare]

Yes I do

 

 

 

Because its very labour intensive and does not pay as well as tree work.

 

Also retail is often a nightmare, Joe public can be a real pain, IME.

 

 

we sold between 400- 500 cube last year. That's between $40- $50000 will be more this year because I've bought a bit of wood in. I know I won't make as much buying wood in but it's all extra.

 

It's no more labor intensive than tree work and you deal with Joe public doing tree work too.

True but my hourly rate for tree work is so much better than for logs and I only have a fixed number of hours I wish to sell, so I prefer to sell them for a higher rate.

 

As for dealing with customers, with tree work I find out what they want and deliver their requirements, they are always happy, its not that easy with logs, they ask for "a load":confused1: how much wood is "a load", they think my "load" is expensive, the other guys "load" is cheaper, but how do they know who's "load" contains more logs???. If you move to bulk bags its not much better, there are many different sizes, but the customers don't seem to see this

 

I sell by the arctic load, its simple and those buying seem to understand what their getting
