Can you pop round and price my tree job...now as i know you,ve been sat waiting for my call. When you come up with the price I will try and knock you down on price, also when you come to do it i will have erected a fence put a greenhouse up.......but you will still do it for the same price even though it will take twice as long

How much will you charge me to cut my neighbour's tree down? He said it was alright, honest!

how many times have you heard that

[penfold]

"I'm just ringing to ask for a price to remove a tree and those are all the details you are getting. I need a price now at ten o clock at night over the phone without you seeing the tree at all."

Not arb related, just venting on a job I looked at today,

Customer: I need a wall and ceiling plastered in my kitchen, can u come and have a look.

Me: no problem.

When I get there

Customer: just had this new kitchen fitted and the floor retiled last week, what do you think?

:confused:

What a complete plank. Plus he paid more to have kitchen fitted than I would of charged to re skim whole room and fit kitchen and floor.

Might be putting my rate up on this one.

The best type of job is a through the house job. Points are scored for the amount of tins of wd40, paint and other misc items you can knock off the shelves going through the kitchen, utility room and garage.

 

Those are the types of jobs you put a silly price on to try and price out of it. But end up getting it anyway. (Story of Saturdays job!)

I cut a hornbeam down once, it might have been a beech though, hard to tell really, I have a sycamore to cut today, pretty sure its not hornbeam.
