I did last month when doing taxes. Found I need to be nicer to some people. I wish I could shift the time frame but they are property maintenance companies. When they want something, usually clearance or hazardous removal, I jump and do it now, bill them, and add a little extra for being so prompt.
Due to the extreme utility nature of the work, I can't shift it easily. Usually a graveyard dead tree over a parking area - I am always thinking - You didn't notice it was dead 2 years ago or did it just die and the bark ran away to another tree?
Told a lady I could come give her a pruning bid tommorrow. She said, so if you do the bid, then you start right away if we accept right? I told her it would be a few day to a week at best before the work could be done. She just said, I was hoping to have it done before tommorrow afternoon because we are gardening then. Some people - saved me a drive.
