    How to make people slow down while working roadside.

    Usually caution signs and truck lights do the trick. If not we have found a few large limbs/brush strategically placed does wonders.

    What to charge for EAB 2 year treatment?

    Last time I checked the newer treeage was only 30.00 less expensive per quart or liter. This would not affect final pricing at all. True, time spent on site would definitely be an asset though.

    Did you set up a corporation?

    Most fees charged by Legal Zoom are astromomical. Setting up a corp or LLC anyone can do. Usually less than 100.00. Just go to your local state website and follow the directions. Easy-peasy.
