I'd go no problem , my dad would come and drag branched and the boys would get spoilt without the grumpy men in the house.

I love working, my families life revolves around it, it's what pays the bills for the nice things and puts the fancy jeep in the drive.

My wife understands this as do my kids.

I am not restricted by a boss I do what I want when I want for the people that I like.

We treat every day like Christmas in our house anyway and if someone needs my help then I go .

It's not like the old days when it was the only day if the year you got a treat

 

GREAT Reply Stephen

you echo my Work and Family :thumbup1::thumbup1:

Two men in a pickup, no need to take big truck or chipper just clear the obstruction and leave the rubbish there, tools can be kept at home so no need to go to the yard.

£250 an hour min 2 hours, have actually done this on more than one occasion,

Called out 11 in the morning, wife was cooking I was doing sod all, shot out and cleared road of small dead hawthorn then back in doors before dinner was even half way done,send in invoice for £600 sit back down crack open beer grin at the telly thinking about what you are going to spend your money on......everyone's a winner.:thumbup:

Even had one once not Christmas all the lads had been drinking same as me wife had to drive truck I went along for the ride found the tree dragged it out of the way with a rope on the pickup didn't even start a saw up, got home thought of a price sent in the invoice and no staff to pay, as the wife does it just for love,

 

I have been to a call out we're there were two council trucks and four bods parked behind obstruction all flashing lights going to keep Jo public safe I had a quick chat and then walked up to the branch in the road picked it up and carried it off into the undergrowth it took about three minutes total and the council guys had been sat there for over an hour waiting for us to turn up. :001_rolleyes:

Treble time is standard for out of hours call outs for me now. I used to do it for less but why? I do enjoy them though, I was on call last christmas day and boxing day, no call outs this year I wouldn't be for personal reasons, next year I'd be quite happy to do so again.
