it’s not a member family if that’s what your getting at. I’ve lived in the area my whole life, grown up knowing the same people and drinking in the same pubs. you know, things that happen if you live in a rural community my last yard which was about 1/2 a mile away was about a third of the size and i payed £240 a month
-
sorry, i don’t understand?
-
it depends wether you are integrated into the rural community or not if you are i’d say it’s fairly typical
-
my yard is about 45000 square feet. plenty of space for 4 tractors, mog, diggers, chippers, 7 ag trailers, 100 tonne of timber and about the same in chip, dry storage for logs and kit in a barn £500 a month think it works out at 0.011p per square foot id say that’s fairly affordable

i’m not offended, you know the fencing industry and i know trees. breaking it down, less than an hour which includes travel and grinding out the stump for £60.00 that coupled with the £350-400 of other stump grinding work that’s been done that day isn’t bad money, especially when my other guys are out doing £800 of work on their job
-
it’s all about the bigger picture, but what do i know ?
-
i’d go further than a mile ? generally i’d say within a 10 mile radius of my yard if i had to put a distance on it but location would have a lot to do with it. 9 miles or 15-20mins drive across the forest would take me from sway-Beaulieu, a drive i’d happily undertake. however 9 miles the other direction would put me just the other side of christchurch. i’m not interested in going over that way for one stump. it’s all relative
-
if i was out doing a few stump jobs in one day and i was local i’d charge £60 plus vat probably take longer to get the machine on and off the trailer than to grind it out and tidy it up

a lovely day, put down 1800 birds on our little shoot this morning, out for lunch with the misses then spent the afternoon filling some raised beds for the extension of our veg patch. two sets of mates popped round for a natter and a cup of tea. just polished off a roast dinner of which everything was grown at home or shot by myself and sank a nice bottle of red. chainsaw milling is just rubbish ? in all honesty it’s very difficult to make a decent wage out of it as proved by one of the guys that used to work for me
-
chainsaw milling is dirty, smelly, frustrating, dull, hard work, how anybody would wish to do it full time is beyond me my woodland mills hm130 is fantastic for cutting out the odd gatepost or bits and pieces of timber for around the place but is equally dull, but it serves a purpose however its a nice thing to have around and handy when i need it

someone crashed into us at a junction, it was our right of way. it’s been a battle with our insurance company since the whole thing happened. low ball repair estimates, missed damage, low ball salvage value, vehicle moved to salvage yard before a decision had been made, removal of personal items without permission and no idea when these will be returned. insurance company saying one thing and doing another. the list goes on.....and all this from a company that is supposed to be acting on my behalf worst service i’ve ever experienced
-
going on my experience over the last 7 weeks having vehicle insurance with arborisk il be changing at renewal, worst service i’ve ever had and still not resolved.

Most expensive single tree removal you have done ?
John Shutler replied to bigtreedon's topic in Employment
4.5k for a crane removal with a road closure and power shutdown all done in a busy day -
yes give yourself another 15-20years experience doing the job day in, day out and you might think the same
-
for a fencing contractor maybe
