Blocking wood question

Philip d · Oct 28, 2018

How much an hour would it be worth for a guy to block firewood if he?s a decent worker and uses his own 70 cc chainsaw but not the gas and oil? I have a friend who sells firewood and sometimes we trade labour back and forth. I likely won?t have much work for him in the coming years so was just looking for opinions where when I help him my time with saw is worth x/hour to go towards the finished product I take home at this year 200/cord? I?ve been paying him 14/hr cash for running equipment.

It hard t make everyone happy in these deals sometimes... but I value my time or pay $20 per hour to cut/limb/junk trees
in a clear out this space/remove those trees type of thing. That's with the cutter using his own saw, gas is my supply, charged to customer at cost.
If my cutter wants to use his own gas, that's his decision, but i do make sure they leave with a full tank/jug at the end of the job.
I have no problems with getting cutters...try to get someone to just throw the stuff on a bon fire is the hard part.
hope it helps

That would be a hard call to make. wages vary so much across the country.
