Hi guys thanks for all your advice and encouragement! Sorry i dont have any pix i should have taken some! I have been climbing 3 years but had to take some time out in between did my leg in pretty bad (my fault for climbing in the snow). Got back into it an decided to start out on my own as i have just separated from my mrs and have my 2 year old son to provide for! Thinking into the future decided was better to try an make something for the both of us than to work on day rate. Was working day rate to buy equipment / van etc. I will admit that im not currently the fastest climber in the world but i get the job done which i feel is the main thing. Should be back up to speed in no time at all. That make sense?

Thanks for the advice mate didnt think of it like that

The way I looked at it was me + one groundsmen incentive to get it done in two days would have been worth a punt! But anyway live an learn don't you? I originally quoted them 1200 but they nearly hard a heart attack went to £850 an that's still too expensive? Such is life hey?

Yeah i thought it was going to be a nice job but if the other guys wana do it for £650 then its up to them? still think £850 was a fair price though

No not working alone, I was going to do the aerial work and have a groundsman with cs38 controlling the lowering line and clearing / chipping

Hi guys just wanted to run this past you as I must say I was a bit disheartened this morning after finding out another firm undercut me by £200! I put a price in for £850 for the following work which I personally feel was too cheap anyway but thought in this market I should go in with a competitive price. Job is as follows: Hornbeam approx 60ft in height - Has been reduced before but has come back very strong would imagine about 6 - 7 years ago. Price to do an over all crown reduction plus some thinning to get more light into the clients garden. Tiny garden with hardly any access, at the base of the tree there is lots of trellis with an small openeing to get in an out of a patio area with a stream running behind. Also under the Hornbeam is a shed so everything needs to be lowered (no room to swing a cat) then to get it out the garden you have to go up an tiny set of steps about 30cm wide an then through a narrow gate to get to the front where we could chip. In the garden next door there is a nice oak great shape but is far to big for the garden approx 70ft in height which after about 3pm stops any light from entering the clients garden. They were also going to pay for a reduction an thin of the oak. This is much simpler as apart from the stream behind it there is nothing in the way can just straight drop and a clear exit to the front of the house? Over all I estimated the job to be about 3 days work?? I myself think £850 was a very fair price! What do you guys feel???? I cant see how someone can price it at £650???

love the drop start with the chain brake off an more lack off PPE! as you say god must be on his site! I still to this day do not understand why people feel they do not require PPE???

My bad! Never know whats under that had tho do we? Either way just thought it was a fun video

Is clearly a professional IDIOT
