    Ded

    Attached are some pics of a ded tree which has to come down, the burr is about 7foot high and about 5foot wide approx. How much do you think it is worth and where do you think that I will get the best price for it.....ebay (its an auction site!) its in Aberdeenshire.
  2. Not good hope you got paid Gibbon, did you do any checks on the company before hand? As I said earlier the Riskdisk web site came back with them being OK so not sure which I should believe.
  3. Well not really a cheap job about £2.5K, so would be good but not sure, think we'll go for up front if he says no then walk away.
  4. Hi we did a quote for a company who are converting a house and there are ded trees to come out, 2 months later they have responded saying to go ahead. However since sending the quote we have heard that they maybe bad payers, they (or the guy we are dealing with) owe one local company money and the neighbouring estates said to watch out, I have checked on riskdisk and the record is good. Has anyone used riskdisk and been burnt? What would you do ask for half the quote upfront, ask for all upfront or just walk away, there is a hire in equipment charge involved.
  5. Great news you got your valmet sold, cant imagine it would make any difference your vat reg'd your charging vat, as long as you get your money in the end. Bet your wife is out spending the money now!

  21. Would that be to keep me warm as I have an electric blanket for that, or is nicely carved so I can sell it n make a profit!?
