What do you guys do about missed calls, when they leave no voicemail? Ive been getting a ton lately. In the past Ive called the numbers back, saying who I am anf could I help them. Sometimes it works, sometimes it dont, I always feel wierd tho. Im booked out a couple weeks so Im not desperate...

Im not looking for an argument. I understand my situation is different. The arborist at the co-op was 1 of my bosses when I worked for big o. So he knows my qualifications. Next time I see him Ill ask him though for you guys how a residential company with no line experience would get started.

I know, Im not sure whats the deal. Maybe because of my employees and mine previous experience I didnt have to jump through that hoop. I dunno?

Our local electric co-op has big o trim for them year round, but when big storms come through all of big o's resources go to the big power company. So they rely on a bunch of small companies to help them clear there lines. When I signed on for storm work the crew had to have ehap...

The important thing is they're trying to quit. Thats the 1st step. Gotta give them credit for continuing to try.

Best of luck to ya on quitting. Glad I never picked it up. Gonna be hard quitting w/ your own business. My Dads owned a repair shop for 20years. A couple times a year he tries quitting but the stress always gets to him.

Thats a good price. That new husky top handle does look sweet, i cant think of the number either. Your not a fan of the 201? I havent used one enough for an honest assesment.

I thought you were a stihl guy? Didnt you post a pic with tree md of all your stihls? No big deal either way, Im not blinded by color, but surely the 338 doesnt beat out a 201T? Obviously not a 200. Price must be right? Just curious

Ive been looking at quite a few big jobs lately, but it seems people just dont have the $. And its not like Im getting underbid or am overbidding, the jobs just arent getting done. My grandfather and Dad have sold used cars for the past 40years and have done quite well by offering finacing. Am I...

Hahaha I almost forgot about the crackheads! The CL&P office in hartford is directly across thw street from a drug rehab center, well they were rehabbing s*** there cause we had crackheads knockin on the windows of the trks all night begging for $. I kinda thought it was funny we had to keep the...

I can remember doing storm work for the big o years ago right in the city of Hartford. We had a police detail everywhere we went, definetly some sketchy hoods, I was standing next to the cop when we heard a gun shot. Now Im from NH, i shoot guns, all my neighbors shoot, ya just know when its...
