Gary, have scientists been trying to study you to determine how to access the fountain of youth???8)

They didn't want to piss off the guy with the big azz staff!

Gary maybe they threw out the low and high bids, and there you were. Nice job, good luck with it. Bidding against GE????? Wth??:O

Not a bad guess, from far away;) Good luck with your challenge.

Big job! Good luck!

Ok, very few removals, lots of trimming, lots of hourly work. That would seem to allow for a somewhat greater fudge factor. What if there are no emergencies, what then with those hours?

Let's hope you don't come back to us and say, "the good news is that I got a $240k job. The bad news is that it is worth $340k…)

Good luck! Btw, you're gonna get smoked! :P;)

I'm not worried about this bid winner at all, just curious as to his rationale. He'll be the one watching day time tv, he leaves megabucks on the table. I'm quite happy I didn't win it cuz I bid it very tight. I'd rather not work my ass off and lose money doing it. I can compete on a...

Idk, they keep coming back for more. It's hard to figure.

I personally looked at every tree and bid it low as I could without being for free. Meaning, low enough that I knew I could still get screwed if things didn't go smoothly. And the hourly cop fee is a double whammy cuz if a tree takes longer than anticipated, then you getting hammered by the cop...

Good call.

Ha ha, got some more fodder here for this silly ass thread. Just did another town bid, 3 huge trees, lots of medium ones, a few small ones. Remove, grind and topsoil the stumps, about 35 trees. The bid results are public, 5 bids plus me. Lewis Tree Service was the high bid at $84k, a local...

There ya go, that could figure into it.

Yeah its crazy. We all love tree work down to our soul, and crazy hard work is a big part of it, but to work till you're almost seeing double, to wear out your equipment, and not make money??? No.

If there is emergency work to be done, don't your custys need you?

Excellent point. Climbing in -4F? Um, no.

Winter treework tends to be crazy, one way or another. And then summer arrives, and, more craziness...

Ha, good one!
