charge customer for day with petrol log splitter?

[Mountain man]

You tree men are all so greedy, i go log splitting for £180 a day and am more than happy with that. Any more and i would feel like a con man

 

Not so much greedy, but if you have tree surgery in the book for 500 quid a day, it's not worth spending a day splitting for 180.

Good luck with that. I bet your flat out at that price, put yer price up and see how you go.

Fair enough. What machine do you run, and roughly what output would you say average ( including slow days, tougher wood, raining, you know...)

 

Trouble I find as a contractor is accounting for those days when you're servicing plant and kit, or doing the vat, or out buying a new splitter, or welding up a new/broken blankedy blank, it's endless...

 

So those days still need billing, or you doing it for nowt.

 

 

That's why if folk charged a proper rate this industry would be in the state its in, some people will work for such low rates it's unbelievable. I don't worry about them anymore I just sit back and laugh and sip Champaign in the Alps, ho, ho, ho .

Well for all the crap we have to put up with then we want at least 25k

 

Probably why you need to charge a lot summed up there.

 

I love my work
