Really? the fact that you have a picture of me on your living room wall when I don't know you scares me.

 

Please tell me you mean my avatar picture?

Have you done any of the work yet? If not I'd pop a new price in as the timber was going to be your wage. If you have it's more complicated.....

Walk away,sounds like a typical move by one of these type of organisations.

Bugger! Was quietly hoping for something far more scary and sinister!

 

:lol:

I just had a verbal agreement with the guy so think I will follow your advice and walk away. Cheers.

Personally i see your mistake was to do any work for wood as payment. Just because they are charity does not mean they can't afford to pay.

The price is the price regardless of the client and for me the wood is a by product of the work.

 

I agree, how anyone can work for the wood is behond me, how many garages will work for knackered parts the weigh in ??????

It's a forestry job - the fact that the landowner does not take a cut would pay for the awkward stuff. Simple maths IMO

It can work IC. Of course forestry is doing that always.

 

I agree though IC, it rarely works in arb.

In forestry not only is the timber not given to you for free but you will find that you will have to pay about £20 ton add on your working costs then add on the haulage and your are left with c £5. ton from a start price of £40 ton.

I'd explain to them that whilst you were doing it to them for no cost, your payment was a deal you have done with a firewood merchant. That deal has now been cancelled due to them changing the quantity of wood available to you directly. As a result you can not carry out the work for them at no cost. If they ask how much you would charge them, then 'price the job properly with a written quote etc in case they play hard ball upon completion.

If they say that to much, just say that is your 'price, no compromise. And I wouldn't waste any more time on it than that if twas me in your situ.

Good luck 👍
