walked away form a job, one that would paid this months mortage payment......
customer wanted a small 10" diameter 30 footer dead cedar (with big drill bore marks in the truck i might add...) removed from the side of his house, near the big living room window. Simple job yes? ....no...not really.... while i was putting my helmet on, he comes over and pushes 500 bucks into my shirt pocket, and points at his NEIGHBOURS tree, which was "blocking" the view from his living room. "cut this tree so that tree gets damaged!" he says, "then you can remove that tree too" nudge nudge wink wink...."the money is gift for you, no taxes!!" "you do for me, yes?"
Uh no....no i wont i replied. and and i handed him back the money. "its NOT YOUR TREE, or your decision to remove it....." . "ok ok, i give you another 200 ok" No sorry, not doing it i replied. and i walked away. I could have REALLY used that money, heck i was about to cut with a borrowed chainsaw....but i dont need those kind of headaches.......ESPECIALLY since i'm new into the field....
some people....do anything to improve their view. The nieghbour will get a nice letter in the ail form me, advising them of their neighbours intention to kill their tree...
:bang:
