I got one estimate in last night.

Tree C I'm thinking I'll just handle my dang self, so that'll save $400.

Try the electrical utility. It's their wires. They might have people who do that.

For tall trees, I'd try to get a bucket truck, cut it from the top down in chunks. Dunno man.

My concern is the debris haul cleanup is $1,000 for the five trees. I want to believe I could do this myself, but at what point am I putting too much time and effort into getting rid of the debris? Also, I'd have to find a place to take it and so far each place wants money. So in the end I could be pissing away a couple weekends to only end up saving about ~$500 and I have to figure out if that is worth it or not.

If you go cash cash, I'd want a better price than merely knocking the taxes off.

You can run the "I'm paying straight cash brother, so I'm thinking x for this job out the door" shtick by all bidders, in addition to the allusions about the other bidders. I wouldn't do any of that until you get all your estimates and impressions from the various companies. I roll like your dad, 😆

I kinda hope I can get someone who wants do it as a "side cash" job. Generally you can get a better deal then.

Equipment to do the job, cost of that equipment, labor intensity, etc etc etc. Fortunately, yours is not a high priority need, so you and your contractor have time flexibility. 3 bids sounds like a good plan.

I must not have asked for stump removal with these folks. I wonder if I should have one company do certain trees and another do other trees haha

Nice. Just give him a call about stumps.

I was at a grand for my guesstimate on your stumps.

Then, hit him with cash cash story. You may have found your guy!

OR, he is throwing it in and didn't quote it, which, A I doubt and B, if he is, I would A, shit myself, and B, hire his ass so fast it would even scare him in how quick you agreed, 😆

I really wish I could just take care of the damn debris myself. But unless they cut it up for me, I be screwed homie!

dfosterf (16h) : Can't find the toggle, lol

dfosterf (16h) : I can find that the Microsoft lady rep for Titletown Tech is the philanthropy boss for the entire Microsoft corporation, but. .

Zero2Cool (16h) : There's a toggle for light/dark theme. Super easy.

dfosterf (17h) : The white background beta was hard to read, especially the quotes

dfosterf (17h) : Hopefully the color scheme remains the same

dfosterf (17h) : *Friday*

dfosterf (17h) : 100 million would be 539 million as of Fridsy

dfosterf (17h) : Heck, they could have taken a hundred milliion and invested in DAVE inc. last year (semi random, humor, but real)

dfosterf (17h) : Beer brat and ticket is where the money comes from

dfosterf (17h) : The 40th is Titletown Tech itself. This is a pet project of both Ed Policy and Mark Murphy

Zero2Cool (17h) : New site coming along nicely. The editor is better than what we have here. Oh yeah!

dfosterf (17h) : No profit that I know of. 0 for 40

dfosterf (17h) : The woke reference has to do with the makeup and oftentimes objectives of the companies they invested in

packerfanoutwest (17h) : beer and brats woke? say whom?

beast (17h) : I don't want to get into politics, but how is, beers and brats considered to be "woke"? Food is food...

beast (17h) : That being said, I'm not saying all 100% should be that way, but not surprised if majority are Wisconsin based

beast (27-Jul) : Wow, 95% drop in investment revenue? Would be interesting to hear the details of why...

dfosterf (25-Jul) : It's my one day deal complaint dept. on shareholder meeting day

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (25-Jul) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.
