Woman hired me and two of my sons and the Timberwolf to c/s/s 4 cords of red oak she had on site in log form. Started at 7:30am and finished at 11:45am. Worked pretty close to wide open. Had to move wood with muck truck about 50 yards up a hill to stack near her home. Gave her pallets and some heavy rubber roof remnant as part of the deal. $525 for the whole job. I think everyone was pretty happy!
I am spoiled, friend of mine works at a manufacturer near me and I bought a pallet (small defects) of 1800 pounds of it for $22. It is awesome. It is fabric with pressed coating on either side. Does not rip easily, and heavy enough that I do not tie it down. It has not blown off any place I have used it as of yet.
Thank goodness no. She is getting some chimney work done, and the place cleaned up. But good airflow on hill top where its stacked, and split down pretty far. Think it will do well in December 2015.
Between you guys hauling, stacking, providing skids and the nice EPDM cover, I say it as a good deal for everyone. You probably got the work done about 10 times faster than one guy with a regular splitter too. Everyone wins.
Thats a great price for what she got, and most likely you will get a call back from her in the future with all the extras she rec'd. Pallets and rubber to top the stacks with... And you know word of mouth will carry this job to your cell phone getting calls soon.
Boys learning the value of doing a good job Customer looks happy Good exercise. Fun outdoor work on a great day. Some $$ in your pocket. Lots of good stuff comes from hard work
Maybe my eye meter is off but do you really think that she has 4 cords in that row? Is there another one or two of those rows somewhere else?
Good job Greg. I'll bet this brings you more work in the future. Having help from your sons is the icing on the cake. I'd still probably weight that rubber down a bit. I used some one time and did have to weight it down a bit.
Yup, I thought the same thing. That's also some impressive productivity with a splitter. It took me about 16 hours of running a hydraulic splitter to do roughly 4 cords recently, and that was with 2 people switching off placing rounds on the splitter and me running it. It sure felt like that was as fast as we could possibly process it too. Nonetheless, that's a good days work, some nice shekels in your pocket, and a bunch of heat for someone.
Good bit of money for your time and you got a lot done. Im sorry but the picture looks shy of three cords. Still got a lot done: bucking, splitting, moving, stacking. Takes time and you guys cranked it out!
7 pallets long 28 feet x 5 feet high x 3.5 feet wide = 490 cubic feet 490 / 128 cubic feet = 3.83 cord
im trying not to be a jerk but your splits are not 21" long and at 5' high that lady would have to be about 6' tall (plausible). first, are you using standard pallets? 40"x48" what i see: 7 pallets lined up on the short side, 40". 7x40'/12"=23.3' long double stacked rows at 18" long splits = 3' deep 5' high average 23.3x3x5=349.5cuft' /128cuft = 2.73 cords IF your splits are 20", then 3.03 cords i dont argue with the customer when they insist that i split and stacked more than i think i did. i still think both parties made out well for this job. please correct me if i made wrong assumptions. again, not trying to be a jerk and i am happy for you!
Those splits do no look even close to 21" long to get the figure you are looking at. They look closer to normal size which is 16" so: 28' x 5' x 2.66' , (16" times two /12) = 372 cubic feet 372/128 = 2.909 cord
