Subject: RE: Aarrrgggg!!! Just got quoted chicken house cleaning bill



Sumner GA, Located in southwest GA,
You ain't never done this job have you? You also haven't seen that this contractor has doubled his prices in the last 4 years. That $6000 is half of our bonus checks, other half is spent to keep on the lights, and it sure doesn't take long to use it up to get everything we need. Once we go out, our bonus checks are the only money we see for three months.

I got news. I aint afraid of the work, I damn sure ain't afraid of the work, I ain't afraid to get dirty, and I know the whole process. If we have to clean out ourselves we will, like it or not. But don't think I am afraid of the work, and don't presume you know it all without ever having seen it. We are sure as hell not sitting on our butts while we are cleaning out as is. We wash over 4000 nestpads, taking them out as well as putting them in, I run three to four days stacking litter with the skid steer, no cab or AC there, all the grit comes in there, do all of our maintenance inside those houses, plus the other farm tasks as well.

Don't think we are trying to get out of this for fear of having to work, far from it. We are just trying to get our options sorted first, I cant say I am too eager to handle all 504 of those slats. I know for sure it means another tractor to buy to do it ourselves, ours are all too tall, another better dirtpan, and we still have to figure out a way to handle those slats, because it is a big deal to handle them. Other than that, there aint much too it except more time and more labor.
