I have to quote a job, and would appreciate anyones input if they have done anything similar. I would prefer to do it by the hour, but the landscaping contractor needs a fairly accurate estimate. This job involves ripping out 110' of seawall, 4' tall, constructed of railroad ties, as well as about 200 square feet of steps and deck, also of railroad ties. What makes the job even more difficult is the extreme slope of the yard down to the wall. I will be using my excavator, a komatsu pc-75. I don't yet have a thumb installed on it, I know that that would make the job much easier and faster. Any ideas on how long it would take just to lift the ties out and dump them on the yard? Thanks!
