Had a logger come in to remove some black walnut and cherry. What a bad experience.
One of his contractors told me to be careful of this guy. After doing some checking around, I found few places refusing to do business with him. Great. Called the local Extension service, received some excellent advice, followed through with it and managed to come out fairly well. The first bid the logger told me was 4K and my share (60%) would be 2400. Four days later, after my mentioning my getting my own bids, it was noted to me "You misundersood! That 4K was YOUR share. OH! Did you think I meant ...". Many other lies along the way. Too long a story to go into. Just venting, I guess. Found this area is rife with dishonesty in this industry. What a bad experience.
ANyway...thanks for listening...(Looking?..Reading?..)
