Booked well into February. Had a few cancellations and reschedules this this month. Most have seemed tied to stock market flux. It seems anyway. Pretty normal for about this time of year anyway. Holidays coming. Taxes coming up. People re-prioritize this time of year.
Things are slowing here a bit but I pretty much have a full schedule. Going to start processing a bit a wood for a few clients and do some extracting for more. Fills in days we might get canceled on. We have had a few reschedules that left holes in a couple days here and there. Booked to Oct...
Getting more of those up here too Brendon... I hear .. "well maybe fall". "I will have some money coming in winter". "might have to wait till Jan-Feb". Hourly is selling better than the bid though as they want to see if you can just get it done faster than the bid rate.
Got a bit quiet here and I am a lil concerned come fall... Still booking jobs and more of the climbing variety. Just the phone has quieted down a bit.. I landed another job out in the field today. Mistletoe = Job security :D
Working some averages in my numbers tonight as my season (fire) is not over until September.. I have cut a lot of maintenance out of the place........... Went from down 60 percent last year from the year prior, to 50 percent this year of last years for this season. Labor is up but that is just...

The maintenance and supply numbers are what I need. And things break when you work them this hard period.
Here's what kills me... I am playing with the numbers... And of course the only reason I am busy in the least is that we do fire clearance which includes weed eating mandated by the state..
Numbers show almost 14,000.00 thus far in 2 months... I have almost $2000.00 above that in receivables...
I am down 12.5 % from last year thus far on my projected estimates this year. I have raised my prices.. I am not running large crews. My tree work is on the increase though so my numbers could change in fall when I start the jobs. I am also booked for next summer...May through July and possibly...
2 am and I just read my E mail ..... Client just mailed me about a mirror broken on his car supposedly from our weed eat there. We both walked the premises including vehicles and made sure there was no damage:what: Guess I could have missed it :|:
$250.00 for a damn mirror that I doubt I...
