30's are going for 500, would have been nice if the house had more concrete since concrete as long as exposed rebar is cut is free to dump only cost is the hauling
You are right about quick i started around 10am today and left at 3 because the rain gods were scaring me

It's about the same here.
Our dumpster pricing is a flat rate with a 6 ton cap, anything over the cap is priced from $20 to 30 a ton. Depending on location and distance to the landfill a 30 will run $350 to 425 flat rate with the tonnage cap.

i feel your growing pains, we've all been through them and will continue going through them while growing a small business. Every step you take that's a bigger one than the stage your at, comes with them. Be it time, scheduling, manpower or equipment, we're all going to fall short and be overloaded while growing a business from time to time. I'm going through one of those stages at the moment.
You did a great job with your backhoe, yes a jack of all trades and master of none but look at what you can do with it. That nice profit job is coming and it may take a few of those to get to where you want to be but keep your eye on your goal and keep producing good work - the rest will fall into place.
I take my tag line to heart - Take what you win, run what you brung
Thanks cm for the kind words. Im just wanted that nice big job to get me on the map down here all the big jobs are handled by the big guys and im trying to get my.name out there for stuff other than the little demo or water extensions etc... i finally found one guy who wants to work, enjoys it, is on time and very careful so i try to keep him busy all the time . So lets see only time will tell we might see a thread about my new to me 200 hitachi or something to that extent
So the 200 hitachi i was looking for turned out to be a 240 linkbelt
Has a hair over 9k hours but is strong and the ac works great. its a one owner operator machine and for a demo machine it is in very good shape cant wait to put her to work
im going to clean her up real good repaint the counter wieght and re decal the machine since it really isnt to bad

That Linkbelt is a healthy step up. Do you have work scheduled for it? Looking forward to your updates!

Clean demo job, it is nice to see that.
A little clearing job basically just wanted me to make a couple windrows on each side of the power lines it was about 28 acres quick easy little job. I had to rent (borrow) lol a d6m over all pretty easy only thing that slowed us down was all the mud
