In my post of this AM about the guy that worked for me for $200 for 4 hours of work. I have to ask those that made the comments such as: "I wouldnt start up my equipment for that" and "you got a great deal" and that I got it done for a steal.
Well....Most of you guys arent from Michigan. And I guess that you are quite prosperous that you wouldnt work for $50 per hour when insurance and fuel and time are considered. Well, $50 per hour is better then nothing, right. I know of machine shops a few years ago that were working for $30/hour cause thats what the market is.....Real sad too isnt it. I know of 2 excavator businesses that are belly up....Yep, no work. Equipment was sold off and one of the guys I know bought a used septic hauler just to make a buck and hasnt done excavating work in months due to the bad economy. He has 1 FEL/backhoe machine left.....I am talking about the non farm tractor type of equipment that will bring $80 per hour. He had an excavator that digs basements, a skidsteer loader, 2 dozers, a heavy equipment trailer too. The guy that did my work yesterday is the only employee of his construction business and I dont know what his insurance rates are but he used maybe $20 in fuel and he had 30 minutes of drivetime to and from his home. Some of you fellas have it pretty good to turn down a cash job for $50 per hour.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
