1 day @ £80 for a second groundy

 

Bonus of around £300 for the planked timber ?

I reckon the clear up will be a bit of a pain... all the sawdust and dead branch ends...

 

I'd have said £750-00....

No way. You dont want the customer getting the impression that you've just sold their(your) timber -

Pretty soon everybody will be thinking their bit of dead willow is worth a fortune.

That would go straight back to my yard for planking.

[Nick B]

I would say about £700 1 days work for 3 men

Skyhuck Mill-able Stuf is your bonus on top of the job:thumbup:

Stump is being left

I was under the impression that it had to be milled on site due to poor access.

 

But even if you sell it in the length, its easy too give the impression YOU are paying the buyer to move it
