    Chain saw cuts crooked

    I always found that saws start cutting a curve when the bar groove is starting to become wore, the chain starts to tip over. When it gets bad enough it will tip over so bad that the saw will stop cutting. How old is you're bar?

    customer pay schedule

    I am going to remove and clean up a cotton wood and a small soft maple for a new client. I quoted him $2000. He wants to pay me $125 a week for 16 weeks. I have always been paid in full at the end of the job. What kind of advice do you have for me in the way of a contract, to make sure I get paid?
