    Mog does sound a bit pricey tbh, although it's probably what you should be charging! I personally wouldn't pay that much, on the other hand tracked chipper with operator price seems a bit cheap, take £100 off your mog and put 50 on tracked chipper.(imo)

    He wanted to get £500 for the wood, 100 quid for moving it, I've sold £400 worth provisionally. I'm getting good money on the job, I'm in a much better situation to sell the wood than he is, he's a valued repeat customer. It's no real problem for me.

    Hang on a minute, I priced the job at a fair price for both me and the client, he wants to try and recoup some of his costs selling timber. There are several people lined up to buy it, however trying to get them all to the site at the same time when finishing job won't happen. Easiest for me to clear it all and leave a tidy site and recoup the dosh over a couple of weeks. I won't lose any money. The job is tidier and customer happy. What's the problem

    After a 3.5t tipper if anyone's got one kicking about, pref with chip/toolbox, within 100 miles of Taunton would be handy as well! £5,000 max. Nice one.

    Yeah, was fiddly over the workshop, but all done, no damage, was at a dementia care home, couldn't wait to get out of there, constant screaming and pleas for help. Horrible!
