whadja do today?

[treeman82]

Pruned (2) 100 foot red oaks today for storm damage... nothing new there. Then went to prune 2 busted stubs off a small beech tree, wound up taking a very large piece off while I was up there due to a crack going through a stem. Did 1 more beech tree after lunch and called it a day. Tomorrow 4 guys should finish the job... got my fingers crossed though.

Had a crazy day today. Sold 3 decent to large tree jobs then found this testimonial on Youtube from Denny Brauer. I personally wrapped his truck, boat and boat trailer about 2 months ago. I have said it before and i'll say it again, I want to put the invitation out there that if you guys have any questions about your truck graphics, banners ect, I know my stuff. I'm not trying to sell you anything but I'll answer your questions honestly. Your vehicles are the first things your clients see. How do they perceive you?

Here's a question for ya. Is there a way you can make a wrap not look completely gay and egotistical? There's a fine line between promoting your business and not goin over the top, "Look at me, I cut trees!" Just sayin here. I'm proud of my business and the work we do, but the full wraps just seem to scream attention whore.

Crikey! It's been raining since the sun went down... Don't know if I'll be able to get into my stumps tomorrow... I need to get them done to stay on schedule. I'm starting to get a little backed up... I would work the weekend but my ass would be grass with the little lady if I did... This is the only weekend she has off for awhile...

My trucks don't look like much, it's when I step out of them that the cash flows in.

When im getting some trim all I wear is a johnson wrap and my home depot/pizza hut, taco bell nascar jacket. Yeah as you said, theres a fine line and most of the time those wraps cross it.

I've been seeing the same thing with the cracks that can't be seen from the ground. Gonna be interesting to see what happens when those big assed red oak leaves come out and start blowing around. Should be an interesting season.... more work from the storm, plus regular treework. I don't see how it can't be a good one.

Yeah, I was thinking about you guys up there, with all that storm action. I bet you will be busy as hell again when they have canopy's. All that weight and a little wind, I am sure that there are many trees that are "on the verge" just waiting for the assist. I don't think it would take to much either, after the pics I seen. Think your going to be in it up to your elbows this summer.

Right. I think a lot of people just don't have the money to deal with their trees yet either. I mean the economy seemed to suck last year, its not like people just magically have thousands of dollars to spend on treework just because we had a storm all the sudden.

I'm cautiously optimistic.

Thanks man! Got my chipper title a couple weeks ago too. I have them both pinned on the wall by my desk. Takes a treeguy to appriciate these things! lol.

And yeah, I know the attackment didn't work. I've basically given up with that ####. I used to be able to put pics right in the thread, but then my laptop somehow lost that capability. Now I have to use my cell, and lately that's hit or miss too.

It's a Force Multiplier ...

... Do you use it on all your tree jobs?

Oh man, now I want to get a green one! I use mine on many jobs, any job the requires moving material or forwarding of any kind. I use the stump grinder infrequently, but when I do I charge accordingly. Yesterday we used it all day and it allowed me and a 55 yr old ground man to handle a lot of brush and big rounds from a Pine removal. We just bulldozed a path up into a wooded portion of the customer's "estate" and created an ecologically sound wildlife habitat.

The one ton cart allows us to stack huge piles of limbs ad pull it up into the woods. The slip scoop handles the larger rounds, any 5' lengths we can pick up stack on the cart. It's high flotation tires allows it to traverse lawns without making ruts, even when the ground is saturated like yesterday. The Steiner allows two old men to do the work of three nephews and a cousin.
