    whadja do today?



    We slammed a big old rotten Linden today as part of a contract in a Convent.

    It is a very pretty place to work in and you can't help feel like someone is watching over you.

    Starting to feel like we are living in a scene from the movie Fargo. It hasn't gone much above the mid 20's in about 2 weeks but if the wind isn't blowing it ain't too bad.

    Take the camera with you OD and use this thread. Guess you guys gotta get as much done as you can before the thaw? (golf course)

    We didn't take the 2k today so as not to get stuck in tight driveway access.

    We had onsite dumping

    Just some stills is fine sometimes. The vid cam must be a pita sometimes I would think instead of just popping a small camera out of your pocket and snapping a few and put it back.

    But my cheapo froze last week and now everything is all lines. I hope it is the film cartridge tho and not the camera. I took my expensive cam (to me...about 600 beans) out today and got it all covered in saw dust and hate having it in my pocket.

    Can I have a peek at your website?

    I was thinking the other day.....wouldn't it be a neat niche job to go out to companies that have websites and offer to do a production of their company at work and charge them to put it on their site?

    This old Linden behind the High Ranger WAS a big old boy at one time. The piece going in the chip box is the smaller of 2 stems that started at about 4 feet above the ground and the stump cut will be over 6'. Real surprised not to find at least one coon in there.

    Real nice site Justin. I didn't think that was happening just and observation in general. This guy below was working across the street from me recently at a house where some just moved in so I didn't get a bid on it but I checked out his website on his truck and found it kind of interesting with the vids and music. The kid prob is a comp whiz. Some of the tech is questionable, esp the guy rappelling off a porty.

    Wasnt impressed with the oak removal. Portawrap operator on the roof? Why not just carve a notch in the canopy facing away from the house and speedline everything down in smaller pieces?

    The website was made with a web building package and DIY. Ok layout but you could match that quite easily Dave. The packages are no more complex than any other wizard controlled software. If you can post embedded pics here you can whack em on something like Publisher and wrap a bit of text and Bobs your uncle.

    I think thats a great idea OD. Stills are nice but often we forget that our clients are not tree experts. Videos let them see just how high up you are, how big the piece is and how easily it comes down. I have had a lot of positive feedback from new and regular clients after they watch a video.
