Just for curiosity’s sake, why would it be a different job?
-
I think the point of dean being right to walk or not, boils down to one thing; the state of the site when priced. If the site was clear on pricing day thats how i would expect it, and if its a mess there is obviously a discussion about it being cleared prior to works. Therefore; spot on dean!
-
Now, i`d love to see the result when you try it:laugh:

Was a bit of a guess Dean, but im affraid thats what i need to make it worth while!

At the end of the day it comes down to overall fuel price rises. It must therefore affect firewood prices due to the fuel used to process. Although i did have a customer the other day say "Oh, i bet you guys are all jumping on the band wagon, now utility bills and the price of coal are going through the roof"!
-
Cheers for that guys, looks like £30+/ton is the norm then for nice stuff. I have started this season selling bulk bags at £60 delivered or £3/ small bag(all well seasoned hardwood). Seems around the norm around us, but it looks like i will have more market than i can produce logs for, just from tree surgery timber. Hence the query. So roughly how many cube are you guys getting per ton of timber?
-
One for you guys in the know, recently the timber market has gone crazy, but what sort of money is cordwood delivered for processing at the moment? Purely out of curiosity:sneaky2:

Looked like a healthy tree Iain, what was reason for takedown?
-
Yeh, they always want something different to what you`ve got though, a bit more, dont want all of it, a bit bigger, a bit smaller, a bit longer, will want it delivering for nowt or will pick it up when passing but never seem to do, etc, etc. Log the lot in my opinion!

Payment on completion or send an invoice?
18 stoner replied to Big 'Ammer's topic in Business Management
Usually get payment before i leave the site, but if the customer isnt in they are usually trusting sorts and therefore can be trusted to send them an invoice. -
That was option No.1 but i had a moment of rational thinking so trying the legal approach first:sneaky2: In a few weeks if i still aint got my money, i`ll give you the adress, will be a free tip in Brough!
-
Never mind the folk law, just think of the lovely firewood:thumbup1:

Think there is three, Lynton "Brownie" Brown, Hull City footballer(sound bloke). Second is Princess Ann, but im not passing comment on her personality. Finally a famous actor, who i cannot name at the moment. This is a clue as to why; http://arbtalk.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=3523

I still have a black/red/white arbormaster, quite old now but been a damn good rope, cant fault it other than i shortened it once- took about 20 foot and the eye off:blushing: At the time the lad working with me said serves me right for buying a camoflage rope, thing was he managed to cut several much brighter coloured ones himself:001_tongue:
-
Cheers so far, i actually put payment within 14 days as i know they are unlikely to pay. But what you are saying Ed is when they are a month late, i can apply the interest anyway, or do i need to give notice of the charges? Sorry for the questions, its all very new to me, i am not used to this type of customer!
-
Dont know if you class this as a graft but ive never seen this before;
-
Just wondering what the legal limits are for putting interest and addition charges onto overdue accounts? I have sent an initial invoice with a "payment requested within" listed on it, but how much notice do i have to give before introducing charges? Any info will be good, cheers in advance.

Ditto! Trouble is, i would need to sell 2 land rovers, and that would never happen:001_tongue: -

This was one of the reasons i was asking about your funding Dave. I was curious to know if these works are classed as general parks maintenance, or if they are special projects, with the acceptance they will need more care in the future? Guess that partly explains it. I guess attitudes are very different locally to you Dave compared to the rest of the country, so selling this type of pruning to visitors and residents should be easier than say here in Yorkshire. The way i see it, this is a relatively new technique, if not pioneering. Not all of us have the opportunity to try these practices and watch the results. You Dave, are in probably the best position for this, so go for it, and let us all learn from it. -
As far as the actual prices go at the show i feel there were many good deals to be had. At this particular show i wasnt particularly looking to buy any saws but did see on one stand an ms880 48" at £879 inc vat. Retail is £1257. Plenty of stands selling 200t at around £369, retail £540. Thats 30% discount on the 880 and 32% on the 200t. Some of the stuff i did buy such as 3/8 20" chain loops for £11 each, files £6 per doz, hi-flex pants £115, etc, etc were massively discounted from retail. All in all i feel that those type of prices are a credit to the stall holders and make it worthwile going to the show. After all, i cannot see how they can reduce prices further and still make a profit, so well done to the traders!

Seriously Dave, i am really interested in practices like this. Out of interest, what is the feedback you get from this type of work, ie does anyone ever pass comment or ask why you are doing it? Also, do you get any types of grants, perhaps from other departments within the LA, or any nature groups? -

Ok Dave, looks like a lot of hard work there, trouble is, all the best firewood is still stood up:aetsch:
