I am so fortunate to have found one like that too. I pay him ALOT, but he's so fast and efficient, paying by the hour does not seem fair. And, as you suggested, I recommend him any time the opportunity comes up. Neat deal, he's a full time dad, tows his lil one with him.
I learned a long time ago that pricing jobs like that by the hour usually end up with my sex life getting a big boost. I insist that they look @ the job and give ME the price.
Well......................My man worked hard and steady until 5:05pm. @ that point he was just about @ the 4 cord mark. Similar to the old joke about the old bull and the young bull running down the hill, his back could not take any more and he had to tap out and pack it in. I give him credit for working as hard and steady as he did. There are not many young lads who would have preserved as long as he did. About 5 minutes ago he called on the phone to ask if he could complete the job this coming Friday as he had to start his new job tomorrow and would be working till then. I told him by all means he was welcome to finish it then. He told me that he learned from the experience and would be bringing someone to help him finish. Got to say the whole thing was kind of refreshing in that lads his age with that kinda drive ARE far and few between..............................
I'll head down there in the a.m. to snap a pic. Too busy using my one hand to feed my pie hole right now.................
Said when he got here this a.m. that he's going to be working in a store and they called him to start two days earlier................so he had to get it done today.
I thought you meant they were 28 inches long....which would be a pain to split......I guess I'm so used to my trees being 26 - 32 inches diameter it never occurred to me that he wouldn't expect that....
He didn't expect it either................. wet and green as they are, each of those blocks weighed about as much as him.
Glad to see he worked well for Ya man. When he went for a drink break. Was Bear standing there with teeth showing?
