:thumbup: Thanks. I'm listening.

Thanks, all. I have plenty of plywood on hand. A bunch of 5/8". There is a plywood mill with a building supply store locally. I can get defect plywood relatively cheaply. I'm always game for jobs that I can do without human help, much. Chipping is a good option, if I have workers, and the...

I've cold-patched twice.

Anyone paid for asphalt repair?

I fully agree on the dump trailer. It would give me a back-up chip box in the event of chip truck issues. I like to have a plan B for everything. At present, I have non-dumping back-up chip boxes. $12-14K is much more realistic if its likely to be able to dump trees. Machine-handling a half...

Thanks for the input, everyone. Its hard for me know know market value on this type of job. Its not a push with an excavator job, which would open it up to more contractors. Its hard for me know know the market value on most jobs. That's not my strong suit.

Squish. There's some decent mill logs there, and a short haul. Better then dealing with craploads of firewood. My friend with the kboom/ grapple hauling truck is getting very retired. I don't want to haul wood. I like your approach of leave it where they want it, or haul it all.

So hard to say, Denver. Seems like averaging 5 trees a day, with two guys Could be right. You're always freshest on the first day. Preferably, two employees and myself. Its the windy season, so that's always an X factor. Mitigating impact is tough. If it doesn't need padding, you only find...

Thanks, Ian. What do you mean for the loader? How would you factor timber value recovered? No grinding.

This is a job that I could do pretty much myself, with machinery, if I find myself short-handed one way or another. When bidding, I always ask myself, "how stuck would I be on this job without an employee?". A 10K mini-x with a thumb on pavement should handle this size wood pretty well, I...

$20/ hour (hopefully. That's what I pay my guy now), plus $4.50/ hour for WC. SS at 7.5% = ~$1.50, Unemployment Insurance, Accounting/ taxes/ payroll $.xx, A couple other small payroll taxes, I think. Maybe $30/ hour, out the door.

Risk to homes and parking lot. Grapple truck is $400 per load, maybe 5 loads. Groundman is about $30+/ hour, all said and done. Log hauling will come out of log revenue. What would you guess for a bid, from pictures, Mick? My guess is half firewood, half logs.

maybe dropping one onto the next, onto the next, onto the next, trunks parellel, then limbing and bucking. They're not dead straight. A few have dog-legs and sweeps. they could be padded. I did put a 'speed dip' one time, in a park road. Acceptable impact. Couple inches deep. And I cut it...
