Spent all weekend playing at the new place. Doesn't pay as well, but things are starting to look like someone with some sense lives there.
Brought down a big house wrecking blue ash yesterday, mostly dead with mass root decay. It had its sights set on making the two story an old story, so it had to go. It won't die in vain though, I'll recycle it in the fireplace, or the stove I'm puttin in the shop.
Work is still pouring in, I need to take a break and run some estimates out this week and hope the weather behaves. I hear we are in for a nasty winter thanks to la nina. I think I'm going to take a winter gig with a buddy who works at a high tech fab shop and refine the weldor in me. It comes with the understanding that my biz comes first. I hear it's quite the operation and I'll get plenty of trigger time with a couple of cranes. I plan on building a grapple bucket for my friend's massey as a gift. Yeah, it serves me too, but he's going to need it for all the wood I'll be dumping on him in the years to come. We are ordering a 25 ton speeco with a honda this week, so we can bust it all up. He's getting too old to do it by hand.
Plenty of stump work left, but can't say I'll get to them all this year, too many people all of the sudden want tree work done before winter.
