Ball Park Price On 20 Yards Of Stone

[ADLAWNCUTTERS]

Hi Gang I'm Pricing A Job , 20 Yards Of Bricks , Install In Beds With 3 Guys & Wheel boughs .I'm going To Take It Easy ,Do It Over 2 Days, $2500 In Crushed Bricks And $1500 In Labor & Profit. What Do You Think

[lsylvain]

$75 A YARD LABOR sounds ABOUT RIGHT TO ME. QUESTION IS, HOW FAR TO YOU HAVE TO WHEEL THAT HEAVY CRAP? I DON'T THINK IT WILL TAKE YOU TWO DAYS (UNLESS YOU ARE SAYING YOU WILL HIT IT FOR A FEW HOURS THEN MOVE ON TO SOMETHING ELSE AND COME BACK WHEN YOUR BACK IS READY)

Also, is there a way you can avoid the wheel barrrels? If it were me and I couldn't unload from the truck I would go buy a $200 pull trailer from sears and use that to move the material. If you don't want to unload from your truck because you are affraid you will damage the lawn the wheel barrels will do far more damage to the lawn as you will be makeing 100 trips or more with the wheeling, droping brick peices in the grass and matting it down. I did a 130 yard mulch job and had to wheel every bit of it, the lawn didn't recover for 2 months from all the traffic.

It's WHEELBARROW, not boughs or barrels.
I'm usually not one to complain about spelling, but in this case, I had to.

Actually it depends on your location and the lingo in your area. To my knowledge the proper term is a Wheel Barrel. It was invented back in the early A.D years by the Chinese but it was rudimentary, what we know as a wheel barrel today was and improved version of the Chinese invention with the wheel pushed further forward giving the user better control. I have also heard that the reasoning behind the name wheel barrel is that it was basically a that had wheels attached to it.

Well, that is a good explanation of it's mis-pronunciation and mis-spelling.
I'm in the USA, we generally speak English. I'm not sure what dictionary you use in Florida. Please show me, as I am always willing to admit when I am wrong. :p
If you look at a duck and call it a donkey, it won't stop quacking and start hee-hawing.

I suppose you are the kind of jackass that goes to Spain and expects everyone to call it water and that Aqua is spelled wrong and a mispronunciation. I'm sorry you don't understand that once you leave your little hick town in TN, there are other people in the world that don't say things like. Y'all (umm that's not a word) or I gonna tek me a shir when a gist home from cutten dem dare yards. It is also called Tomato not maters and potato not taters. Tires not Tars. Chewing Tobacco not Spitten tebacki, they are lima beans not butter beans, October beans not brown beans, it is an interstate, not a four lane, it's a string trimmer not a weedwacker, a battery not a batry. It's incest, not a fun night out with your cousin.

[Groundcover Solutions]

On our larger rock jobs back in my landscaping days we used a dingo to load and two power wheelbarrows. We rented these at our local rental shop, saved a ton of time!

Nice try, but you aren't intelligent enough to insult me.
I'm actually a quite different kind of jackass.

I apologize, I thought you lived in the USA.
You live in Spain? Oh, well, it's "carretilla" then.
Tell you what, go to Lowe's tomorrow, take a picture of a "wheel barrrel" and it's label, spelled like you did, and I'll admit I was wrong.
For crying out loud, you could have admitted that "wheel barrell" was slang, or colloquialism, and avoided all this BS. Oh, that's right, you live in "Flah-rid-ah."
And I spent the night with your cousin, not mine. Give her my regards, and tell her I said "Duh-huh!" she'll know what you mean.

thanks for the advice.it's not a bad job i just wanted to be in the ballpark ,it's for a large restaurant chain and they have it. i and a couple of guys will knock it out.

You get multiple degrees by studying your @#$ off in college. I had caps on because I use all caps when preparing someones taxes, because it is easier to read, and I just didn't take it off when I responded to your idiocy.

Why would I deny saying that? I wrote it. Are you saying that I tried to insult you by relaying information about an invention? How old are you 12?(that was and insult) The Wheel Barrel was invented by the Chinese around 100 a.d. (that is informative)

Again, I say "Why are you sitting around all day whacking off on your computer when you should be out mowing?" I spend 14 hours a day in front of a computer running my businesses, whats your excuse?

If you had taken English while you were in college, you would have seen the joke in the "duel degree" thing, but I guess you don't know the difference between duel and dual.
.........

As Far As Inteligents Goes I'll Take My Duel Degrees, ......

Ha ha!

By the way, I'm sorry to hear that you have to work such long hours to make a living. Maybe you need to work smarter, not harder. Re-examine your pricing.
Off to work I go, I'm starting late today, so I suppose I'll have to quit early!
Mondays and Fridays, I can afford to work at a more ralaxed pace. It must suck to be you.
Crawdad payup


The Wheel Barrel was invented by the Chinese around 100 a.d. (that is informative)


Ha Ha Ha ! Wheel barrel! Cut it out, you're cracking me up! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

[lsylvain]

Do a search and find out the average IQ of individuals in different fields you will find that my profession is at the very top of the page. Secondly, do a second search on spelling and inteligence and find that there is no corrilation between spelling and inteligence. Do a third seach for Wheel Barrel and see what you find. I'm sure you must know how to do a search, you can atleast copy and paste things that others say over and over

I work 14 hours days because tax season ends on April 15th I make roughly 60% of my total income betwen Feb and April 15 and most of March is slow, and 20% of that is earned this week alone. Since I am a responsible business person I also do not tell the rest of my customers "Oh sorry, I gotta do taxes for the next 3 months guess your SOL." So I prep taxes most of the day and fill in the slow parts of the day with general accounting and real estate transactions.

Looks like to me you should reexamine your pricing or marketing if you have time to wackoff everyday on the computer instead of mowing. Must be nice to be able to live off 3 days worth of work a week. I bet that trailer of yours looks real good with those christmas lights. Must be really nice not to have to worry about keeping the guest house clean, or paying the kid down the street to clean up the boat, or making your wifes Jag payment.

[crawdad]

If you were as smart as you think you are, you'd know that this arguement was over last week, and you lost.
Maybe your workdays would be shorter if you got off lawnsite and did what you are getting paid to do.
Crawdad

[lsylvain]

I actually spend very little time on lawnsite. What I do do is check my e-mail constantly as many of my clients e-mail me with questions, and I get Real estate leads through e-mail as well. Lawnsite forwards the msgs to e-mail so I respond to them. I'm not sure how my days could be shorter regardless. My office is open from 9-5 then I go service "special" clients at their offices until I'm done or can't see straight.

Actually no one has "lost" because there was nothing to gain from this discussion. You are just pissy because someone called you on your pompuse remark about the spelling of a word that changes from region to region. I assume you did a search for the term "Wheel Barrel" and discovered that you find just as many sites as when searching "Wheelbarrow" containing the same information about the tool.

If a thousand people looked at a duck, and called it a donkey, would it stop quacking?

[lsylvain]

No, but if enough people called a Duck a Donkey it would be called a Donkey. How do you think things got their names in the first place? Or do you really think that god came down and put little name tags on them? Once a large number of people use a certain terminology it becomes "actual" terminology. Don't believe me? Get a new dictionary and look up the word "PHAT," I guess god came down last year and put a name tag on that as well. Again, using your logic, you are saying that anyone that does not speak English is ignorant because they use different words for different things. Also using your logic what you are calling a Wheelbarrow is not the correct word because it was invented around 100 ad by the Chinese who don't speak English and had a different name for it. So i guess 25% of the world poplulation is wrong. Actually come to think of it everyone is an idiot because we don't run around half naked and name things by a grunting noises.

[dvmcmrhp52]

Let me give you a bit of advice Mr. duel degree..............


If you want to try to impress upon people that you are actually intelligent, try using spell check..........you'll look like you're a little closer to your fantasy of multiple businesses and high I.Q.



All this coming from a guy like me with a measley I.Q. of only 141.

[greenwithenvylandscape]

wow...yall sound like arguing truck drivers... LOL

[crawdad]

wow...yall sound like arguing truck drivers... LOL
It's funny, isn't it? This dude hasn't even got a lawn business, he's a bean-counter with an internet connection. :laugh: :laugh:
I think I'll go troll the accountants forum. Are you on it, or did they boot you? :p

[lsylvain]

Funny how you still have not done your research about spelling, yet you ramble on about it with no knowledge of the matter. By showing that you can spell your are simply showing that you have at least the cognitive ability of a trained gorilla and nothing more.

Your right, I don't own a lawn care biz (unless you count the crews worth of equipment siting in my garage) because I sold the last 2 I owned, 1 just before I went to college and the other in 2003 before I moved to FL. Now I'm gonna start a 3rd and if I feel like it, I sell this one as well.

If you want to prove to me your intelligence so badly answer these 3 questions. As you are in business these should be pretty simple.

1. What is marginal cost and how is it applied in business.

2. Describe two methods of budgeting and give examples.

3. Describe Behavioral Management and how it relates to the green industry.

Most of this information is available on the Internet or in almost any business book so you should not have a problem finding the info. Applying the knowledge is the difference between working 3 half days a week and 6 14 hour days a week, that is the trick.

[lsylvain]

Oh, and from your last post I see that you also didn't do your research on bean counters, because if you did you would not have had that condescending tone. Again, I implore you, look it up and see what profession has the highest average IQ.

[dvmcmrhp52]

Applying the knowledge is the difference between working 3 half days a week and 6 14 hour days a week, that is the trick.






Apparently you haven't applied the knowledge.
You stated you are in front of your computer 14 hours a day.

[lsylvain]

I feel really sorry for you.

I'm going to assume that you net about $50.00/hour like I do.

if you work 4 8 hour days you make 1600 a week.

if I work 6 14 hour days I make 4200 a week.

So apparently to you making more money is a bad thing?

And I gather from your response you have no clue about any of the three questions. Little hint. If you go to google.com and search you will find 1000's of pages with information about them. All I'm asking you to do is lookup a couple of definitions and relate them to business.

Except for the fact that bovine excrement is exuding forth from your keyboard.
I see you found the spell check.............
I'll no longer waste my time with a kid and his fantasies.


So, 20 yards of crushed brick installed for $4000?
That brick is a bit pricey in my mind.

[pagefault]

Since I'm new here, I might as well let everyone know ahead of time that I have a real problem with bullies and blowhards. I'd like to learn more about lawn care and landscaping, but I can't seem to let these conversations slide.

lsylvain (IMHO) started this when he/she said:

"It is also called Tomato not maters and potato not taters. Tires not Tars. Chewing Tobacco not Spitten tebacki, they are lima beans not butter beans, October beans not brown beans, it is an interstate, not a four lane, it's a string trimmer not a weedwacker, a battery not a batry..."

I'll come back to that.

First, let me answer the three mystical questions as best as I can. (I changed a period to a question mark for lsylvain. Maybe grammar is not an indicator of IQ either.)

1. What is marginal cost and how is it applied in business?

Marginal cost is your cost to produce one more unit. It is also called incremental cost. It is used in business to determine whether or not it is worthwhile to produce that one unit (or more). If I need another $3000 mower to get one more $45 lawn done, it might not be worthwhile to pick up that job.

2. Describe two methods of budgeting and give examples.

Payback Period refers to the cost of starting my business, divided by my annual return.

Internal Rate of Return refers to the interest rate that I would earn if I invested in my business, as opposed to investing in any number of other areas.

3. Describe Behavioral Management and how it relates to the green industry.

I suspect this is some theory of optimizing productivity based on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. It smacks of everything that is wrong with life in a corporation.

Now, a few quick comments:

Priceing = pricing
Inteligents = intelligence
Inteligence = intelligence
Duel Degrees = dual degrees
someones = someone's
wifes = wife's
pompuse = pompous
Your right = you're right

lsylvain said "I had caps on because I use all caps when preparing someones taxes". Actually, only the first letter of each word was in caps. I do not have a key for that. I do not know how you turn that on and off. Of course, I'm not a super-genius either.

Getting back to the actual "wheel barrel" argument, lsylvain said "No, but if enough people called a Duck a Donkey it would be called a Donkey." By that logic, it would also be maters, taters, Tars, Spitten tebacki, butter beans, brown beans, four lane, weedwacker and batry. It would also be wheelbarrow, since that's what everyone calls it now.

Incidentally, here is a link to the Chinese wheelbarrow. I don't see any barrel, so I do not know why they would have called it a wheel barrel then either.

http://inventors.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://library.thinkquest.org/23062/wbarrow.html

I hope this helps that poor soul who wanted to know about bidding a job. ;)

[lsylvain]

We already took care of stone dude.

As far as your answers go pagefault.

1. Is correct, though your application is flawed.

2. Is wrong, or maybe I guess partially correct. IRR and Payback period are used in Capital Budgeting but are not forms of budgeting. Capital budgeting relates to choosing between different options, "should I mow grass or do accounting, which generates the highest NPV." What I was going for was the actual types of budgeting. (how you come up with next years numbers?) Static Budget or Flexible Budget.

3. Is partially correct, in that you have an idea of what it its about, but to say that "it is everything that is wrong with corps." Is kinda silly. It has to do with finding the best way to perform a task. Something very important in LC. You use a ZTR because it is faster and more efficient. You walk in a straight line instead of zigzagging because it is more efficient. I guess all businesses should just let their employees use the pushmower over the ztr and walk to each job instead of driving. Kinda silly.

That's weird on the Caps thing. it was in all caps the other day, that's why crawdad made the comment about me being mad. Very odd. There is one post with everything in caps.

Your duck donkey point is what I have been trying to beat into Crawdad's head. If you are in the middle eastern U.S. you can call a potato a tater. it is acceptable terminology. You can call a Wheelbarrow a wheelbar in KY and it is acceptable terminology.

This whole thing started when myself and others were trying to help a fella out with some stone pricing and crawdad butted in with his you guys are stupid crap, which by the way he has done in other post on numerous occasions. He doesn't have any meaningful input so he tries to belittle others.

You don't like bullies and blowhards yet you put in your two cents about spelling and capitalization, and all I have done is held my ground and told everyone to look it up, spelling has no correlation to intelligence level. Funny, I'm sticking up for the guy who asked and honest question and got "you'r a dumbass, you spelled wheelbarrow wrong." for an answer, and I'm the bully.

Incidentally, the Chinese speak Chinese not English so your site that used the term Wheelbarrow was written by and English speaking person. There are a 100 other sites that use Wheel Barrel that provide the same information. You also looked up a site about the Wheelbarrow not the Wheel Barrel so of course it is going to use that as the name, not the other. Actually the Chinese word is attached to this message. So again, going by crawdad's theory we had all better learn Chinese.

[pagefault]

Whatever. I answered your questions and I believe I answered them well enough to disprove whatever point you were trying to make there.

I stand by my answer to question 3 - it has to do with applying a blanket theory to a group of people, rather than actually getting to know them individually and learning how to get the most out of each. Go work at Dell for a while and you might come around to my point of view. Then again, you might still disagree with me.

You did not just stand your ground. You brought up incest, low IQs, etc. Crawdad was being a smart-ass, but he/she wasn't the first one to be abusive, IMHO.

I cited that site because the picture showed that it was not a barrel with two wheels. I then wondered why they would call it a wheel barrel, in any language, when that was not even what it was.

[Tvov]

What is up with you two? Crawdad, that wasn't necessary. BUT... lsylvain, you are making Crawdad look good! I know it is tax season, but get some sleep. Or have some more coffee.

Behavioral Management is easy, especially from a LCO point of view:
"Shut up and do it my way! NOW!"

[lsylvain]

Yes, if you apply a "blanket" theory to anything it is not always corect, but that is why the second part of the question revolved around how it applied to the green industry. The theory is still corect, there is one best way to perform a task. Walking in a straight line is faster than zigzagging around. I've never worked at Dell, but I assume you are saying that Dell tells it employee's to put computers together step by step with explicite instructions to do so. Dell revolutionized the computer industry with their production methods, lowered the cost of cumputers dramitically, and I believe is the largest producer of computers as well as the fastest growning computer company. Maybe it is faster for you to do something one way and faster for me to do it another, but if you are getting in my way and slowing me down then the individual best ways are not the best way when combined. If we are both right handed and shoveling dirt individualally we would both stand in the same position and get more work done, but if we are working together we both cannot stand in the same place, so one of us has to shovel lefty to achive the highest level of efficience with the two of us working. An other example of this would be on a grass job, maybe you have an employee that can trim 100 miles an hour by running backwards, which is all fine and dandy util he and your ztr guy who mows faster in reverse run into each other every 2 minutes. If you ever get any big jobs you will see just how important this stuff is, when you are watching a crew of 5 guys costing you $12 an hour walking 1/2 mile back to the truck every hour to gas up their trimmers. That costs you over $150.00 in labor in an 8 hour day plus lost revenues on 2.5 hours of work somewhere else.

I brought up IQ only after he insulted everyone's inteligence. And again, this isn't the first time crawdad had steped in with his mouth. Also I'm allowed to pull the incest card because I'm from WV, and that comment was not directed at anyone, just a blanket comment that I found humorus.

If you go back and re read my post you will see that I said that the Chinese came up with the general theory behind the tool and then it was improved apon durring the middle ages. I also stated that I HEARD that the name wheel barrel was because it was a barrel with wheels.

Funny, people mock my spelling yet they themselves have trouble with reading comprehension.

[crawdad]

Blah, blah, blah....
Oh, you're from West Virginia? That explains the spelling problem.
I admit I was a smart-ass, but I find it to be better than the alternative, the dumb-ass.
As far as the "not directed at anyone" line that's bullshirt and you know it. It was a weak attempt at an insult.
I never said you were stupid, you did that yourself.
Crawdad

[lsylvain]

Funny still no real input, just bla bla bla and bla bla bla, and more spelling cracks. Guess you don't know how to use a search engine.

[crawdad]

I know how to use a search engine, but why bother?
This thread has got me thinking, My posts are going to be more constructive, no more argueing with trolls.
PS, it's spelled "blah," not bla.
Crawdad

[Tvov]

PS, it's spelled "blah," not bla.



LOL!

(sorry, that is funny)

[lsylvain]

I knew you were going to come back with the spelling crap again when I typed that. "Blah" is a noun for meaninless information. So when you say blah blah blah you are saying meaningless meaningless meaningless. I was using bla bla bla because I was refering to the noise that I hear in my head when I read your post. I mostly hear that, and "Look at me mommy I got an "A" on my spelling test, I can't add, subtract, or multiply and all the other kids beat me up because I brag about how great I because I use all my brain power to remember how words are spelled, but that's ok because I'm gonna grow up and become a guy who brags about how I am really great at a usless task."

I'm glad you are learning that this site is about helping other people learn the tricks of the trade and not about treating people like they are stupid because they either 1. could give a crap how to spell a word. 2. don't know how to spell a word. or 3. spell it different because of regional lingo. I'm sure I could go back through all of your post and blast you for miss spellings, improper grammer use, and just plain ignorant questions, but I don't because I'm above that. What I do do, is get really sick of little punks who think they know everything and treat others like crap, and then when the tables are turned on them cry about how the other guy is mean for sticking up for himself and others.

Anther thing that bugs the crap out of me is the dam post people put up. Put a post up about a customer who was a day late on his bill it ends up 200 pages long, put a post up about somthing relevent and the only way you can get someone to answer is by continuing to post to is so it goes to the front of the list past the 100 "mean lowballer took my passy" posts.

[crawdad]

I corrected your spelling, you take it as an insult.
The ability to communicate via the written word is what separates us from the apes, it's hardly a "useless task."
I am only going to post positive things from now on, such as how much the average IQ went up in West Virginia when you moved out.

I communicated to the rest of the world that, I feel that your intelligence is lacking, and you compensate for your lack of intellectual capacity by either memorizing grammar rules, or by running spell/grammar check on every word you type. When you correct someone's spelling you prove that when you feel threatened you you pull out your trusty dictionary to show that you have enough spare time in your day to waste hours looking up words in it.

The written word is not a useless task. Wasting hours trying to figure out if a word is spelled this way or that way is a useless task, because whether you say "wheelbarrow" I say "Wheel Barrel" or someone else say's "Wheelbargh" everyone knows that we are speaking about a wheel with two handles and a tub that is used to move materials around.

True, but, it makes you look like a dumb ass when you write like that.

It takes you hours to figure out how to spell a word? Ouch.
