Thread: Carl and Al on the road again.

Carl and Al on the road again.
so a bloke rang me from Argentina who owns a coupla hundred acres just outside Mundubbera and is building a house in New Zealand.
he wants to fill a 20' container with 18 cube of boards from logs cut off his property in Mundubbera and send it over to New Zealand for the builders to use.
so we went out there last year in November and it was pissing down rain, we got about 75 cube of spotted gum logs cut down the first day, then the loader arrived and as soon as it left the road it sunk to its diffs.
after reloading the machine we backed the semi 7km down the road where he could back into a driveway and turn around. we left and were to come back when it dried out, due to extenuating circumstances we have been unable to go back out until now.
wile we were out there Bruce flew over from Argentina to see the logs cut up.
wile there we agreed that any logs left after his timber was cut i would buy before he sold the property.
so on wednesday we will be heading back out wednesday to have another go.

A South African named Bruce living in Argentina with a farm in Australia building a house in New Zealand. Sounds like an interesting bloke. Where are you sending the bill too??

Who Pays
Oi don't take a cheque - you'd want to be on cash - sounds a viscious paper trail.

all is good the timber dosent leave site until the money is in my account.
what i cant belive is he is landing the timber at his housesite in new zealand for $1800 a cube. that is cheaper that you can buy it in brisbane.
im not charging enough obviously
