Free climbing up to your intended anchor point is the prefered method. It shows you have a head for hights and a flair for avant gard treework. I like to wear my helmet set at a jaunty angle, not to mention my harlequin patterned chainsaw trousers remind any casual observers that to me this job is merely a way to earn a living.

The wood from that tree would be dumped as landfill. I might be able to get rid of it for free but the skip lorry costs €100 per hour ,so a job close to the landfill might be cheaper than a free tip site further away. As good as Beech might be for firewood we dont have the climate to dry it. Last year I did a big job where by I could trade the disposal of the logs against their value. However that was a first in 16 years as the many tens of tons had some nice saw logs amongst it as well as dead(ish) Ash that could be sold once split.

Ok Without all the " maybe's" , tree down and gone. You price for all the disposal , nothing back to your yard. For arguements sake the tree is 30 minutes drive from base and the client accepted your terms on the first vist. How much would your price be?

How much would you do it for Monsieur?

€1200 Crane €400 Container €1200 Big Chipper €960 Wages for two men for two days Alot of firms might put €6000 on that. I can go in cheaper because I own a crane fed chipper and wont need three men on that job. Just me and a groundy.
-
How much would you charge for felling and removing that? Over here it would be about 50k plus vat. I would crane it down, timber driven off on day one. Then chip into a 30 yard skip on day two.

I think this dude is barking up the wrong tree

Twat should have been around in the late 90s... -
You can weed most of those type of clients out at the initial contact. They tend to be either : Wanting to know how much it costs to cut down a Tree? Or "I have a few things I was thinking about having someone do." Get them to send pictures, price high and forget them.

We saw all this before from 2008 to about 2010. Its just a fact that when people feel the pinch the last thing they spend money on are their Trees.

I am going to invest some money in companies manufacturing kamakazi drones and loitering munitions. This seems to be where the smart money will be in the future. It looks like the days of Armour and artillery being the gods of the battlefield are over. I was lucky at the start of the last gulf war and invested some money in Honywell and GD.

That weirdo " whistling diesel" makes bank from his destruction of luxury cars etc. I looks like his market is the 8-14 year old boy though.

Student Looking To Move After College Course
Mike Hill replied to Reece Pearce's topic in International Arborist Forum
My advice would be to finnish your course and then go to Norway of Sweden to work for a summer or two. Dip your toe in to working abroad instead of punting for a full ticket. Then if you still fancey Aus, then you will/should be experianced enough to be useful and attract a decent wage. Good for you that you are looking to work abroad. That sayes alot. -
The Sami people had their claim of the windfarm being illegle upheld by the courts. The Windmills should have been torn down as ordered by the court. Instead nothing has been done. The wind farm is in an important winter grazing area for Reindeer. Thats what its about.

Because you live in a mobile home, can't you simply "Van-ish?". I'll get my Coat.

Depends on the water temperature. Around here if you drown and sink past 100m thats it. The water is so cold the crustations eat up the corpse before any gas can form that would usually bring a body to the surface. Totally nothing but bones after a week.
