Almost looks like you could just pick that thing out of there whole.

I don?t have a lot of fancy rigging gear, so I only rig small pieces...portawrap, couple of blocks, a double beast/whoopi sling, and a couple of bull ropes. Skill level? Decent, I guess...I?m slow, but safe, and pretty methodical in my approach. I?m too old to be reckless haha. That stump was...

Thanks! Super quick and easy...I set the frames at .5 second, and just found a 120 beats per minute song on HookSounds, royalty free.

There were too many shrubs and ornamental trees in the way to fell most of the major leads...took me about 8 hours total, but that was with a lot of training timeouts for my groundie

Did the removal this past weekend: https://youtu.be/wWdFvIqXXpY

Lesson learned I reckon...sounds like my last two stump guys were the exception to the rule.

Dammit...my new stump guy pulled a fast one on me. I let him know yesterday that we were a go for this job, and he called back asking what I was planning to do with the stump debris. Every other stump guy I?ve subbed out to has included that in the bid...so now I get to follow up after the guy...

Tell me more...

Here it is after I sandblasted, primed, and repainted it Electric Lime! The poor thing was ass ugly when I picked it up...the previous owner made some pretty sweet mods to it too: he swapped the tired 18hp Kohler for a new 22hp Predator, and added a hydraulic feed mechanism...pretty freeking...

I feel the same way, but I have encouraged people to get other bids, and that I?d match the lowest...I?m starting to think that?s probably a bad idea for a couple of reasons. First, the obvious risk of some hillbilly with a ladder and a Poulan giving a completely unrealistic bid, and second...

Eastern Panhandle of WV...about 1.5 hours west of DC. We?re only a few miles west of the VA state line (and Loudoun County, the highest per capita income county in the nation)...so we have McMansion neighborhoods interspersed with trailers and toothless hillbillies.

You guys are awesome! I decided to come in at $1,800 for the removal, with another $800 for the stump (my sub quoted me $725)...she responded about 10 minutes later saying that she would like to hire me for both, and that she wants the wood cut to firewood length and left! She also wants the...

Wow, I was way off. This has been very enlightening...Treehouse rules! See Butch, the site?s not dead yet :-) https://giphy.com/gifs/not-mitsubishi-1cv7Gwf0Utdeg

Hey Butch...mine?s Erik.

Thanks fellers...I really appreciate it. I feel better about asking for a little more now.

I was thinking $1,500

It?s a solid 40 DBH...definitely a big tree.

I?m new to running my own show, and new to the area, so the market is still a bit of a mystery to me. I do know that every time I have needed a service (masonry, well, pest control), this area has been as expensive if not more than where I?m from in Northern California. I pay my son $15/hr...

Howdy! I?m pretty early on in running my own service, and trying to get the hang of bidding accurately. This Silver Maple is a very straight-forward removal of a healthy tree. There is a fence behind it, and a small shed to the right, but the homeowner said she doesn?t care about the lawn, so...
