Fair is fair, low bid means that he provide the service at or slightly below market value. Good on ya nick. No shame in that

I do fine with stress, when bourbon is close by for the evenings...

To me it doesn't matter the size of the business. Stress affects us all the same. With bigger overhead I doubt I lose more sleep than you do. Yaknow? So I'm not saying that my problems are bigger than anyone else's

Talking about 7k came in for the last calendar month...the rest is hurry up and wait... Our payroll with comp figured in is near 3700$ a week. Plus about 650 on up just in diesel alone. Dump fees, lift lease.. You get the picture. It always stresses me even though I know it's coming

I've never added the cost of a chain/grinder teeth etc to a job. I give a form price before hand and it doesn't change unless they add/take away work to be done. How do they respond to you adding that on?

Business happens. We are having cash flow problems big time. Tons of work, getting tons done on time, but mostly commercial paying 30-90 days, and we are working on all of it now. It sucks, but o well. We will have a pile of it come in right before winter .

We haven't ever broken glass/roofs/hit structures or fences. I've busted water lines bringing equipment in, and even sunk equipment into old unused sceptic tanks that nobody knew was there. That sucks to fix. But you are right butch, how you handle when the inevitable shows up is what defines...

California of Canada...lol that sounds funny.

I love cherries. I need to see if they will grow here.

O and capitalism doesn't have to be heartless...

I like hearing that stig, let me thank you for not taking advantage of a man and his work. If we have extra. We like to spread it around also.

I had a hose blow on one of our nifty lifts once...came down instead of spending a few hours up there. Forgot the basket switch on, couldn't re start and use ground controls...I learned to foot lock that day. 42'...I'll always remember that. I measured it 42' from ground to basket.

Way past beer thirty butch, rain storms held us up this morning so I'm still working...at 7 pm

I'm back, it's hot and humid out, can't argue with a Sunday off. And got our crane op back after some scary problems with his eye for the last 3 weeks. So next week will be awesome

butch i have always been told to never burn our long needle pine in a fireplace/wood stove. i know guys who burn it as camp fire wood outdoors and in chimineas, but i don't know a person that will burn it inside.
