Hey.... Does Jeff do residential?
It's been slow here in Hampton Roads. Luckily I do other things when were slow. Building picnic shelters for the city and equipment repair for friends in other businesses.

All I can say is don't think about Craigslist I lowered myself to an add and it cost me... hundreds of calls from all over the state people wanting to rent my bucket truck, stump grinder telling me I was crazy for my quotes. .. got one job from my neighbor that somehow didn't know i ground stumps. just spent a week or two looking at 2 and 3 thousand dollar jobs they thought were 2 or 300. Nothing against trailers I Lived in one when I first got married but that seems to be where all my bids were at... Craigslist may work in certain areas not here...

Craigslist can FUQ OFF AND DIE. All I get are calls from scammers and people who want $1k worth of work for $100. Those fuqing scammers call 3 or 4 times a day. I wish I could punch through the phone and break their ****** noses.

Cr is a good place to advertise if you specialize in removing trees over houses and 3 phase just for the wood.
Quit whining.

Do you know who does the trees at the white house? I have always wondered that.
Davey did it for years but I'm not sure who does it now. Its a very complicated process to get those contracts. When I worked for a national company, we did work at the US Capital, Supreme Court, Library of Congress, Lincoln Memorial. Lots of paper work and major PIA working on the sites. Every worker had to go through security background checks, trucks would have to be searched for bombs and a all around hassle. I guess its cool to say I was able to work on those sites.

Been crazy here since the ice storm hit in the Toronto area last December, most legit co's are booked until the fall if not longer, I started 2 more crews 2 months ago and still booked for 2 months straight on top of working for the city of Toronto... It's been an amazing year so far!!! Phones been ringing a lot and am getting 80% of the jobs I look at. I have so many regular customers and municipal work I don't have to bid jobs, just do them and submit my invoice !
What's the plan once all the storm damage is cleaned up?

Pretty slow for me as well. Different business I know but when there is lots of tree work happening I hear about it. It is odd to be slow after tax time.

After tax time....it has been strange. Usually people are rushing out to spend that money. I was trying to sell my truck for the past month with not even a scammer contacting me on craigslist! Finally gave up and gave it away at CarMax.
Workwise we haven't been getting a ton of calls either but have hit on some good jobs to keep us busy. Spring came more than a month late, not sure what people are thinking, hopefully that translates into a busy late summer and early fall.

Have to see what this Holiday weekend brings. So far the weather has been good. Hoping people are out in their yards thinking trees.
