I voted for removal but without being there to see it, I could be persuaded. As far as target....are we talking property damage only or is the tree over living space. Did you put a resistograph to it yet?

lol....I posted this just to share with you guys a chuckle..

I am not saying I am the most knowledgable but I heard something tonight that kind of blew my mind. I was in a neighboring town checking things out and I stop by one of the bars to grab a bite to eat. The local mushroom experts (per the bartender) was talking about all the mushrooms around...

Here is an awesome cable job.....not my work

Help me ID this tree......

Chains? With what type of attachment? I use round slings and I have them in various lengths. I have seen guys use logging type chokers and chains but I am leary about them coming undo if weight is ever taken off of them....but I guess there is no wrong way as long as you know what you are...

Wow, why is everyone so defensive.....I have learned the hard way people have very different views on operating a tree operation...each believing they are right....there really is no single right way and yes there may be wrong ways, for some. I like to think I can take good ideas and put them...

I had a guy work for me and he taught me a ton about trees. He came to work for me and I told him he should take the test and he damn near aced the test. He was in the business for 30 years before he took it.....not sure why....he told me he didn't need the ISA to tell him what was right and...

I don't mind paying to dump....especially if it saves me more money than the cost.....I paid a guy $200 to dump 2 42" DBH Sycamores 110" tall on his property 1 mile from job site......saved me about 4 hours of haul time..... had an extra $500 in my pocket at the end of the day.....pass the cost...

Opportunity for upcharge.....if we cut it up....we charge....I tell them it would be cheaper for them to buy split firewood than have us cut up the wood for them.....i.e. insurance, taxes, equipment sitting idle.... Educate customers on your costs......I like to tell them about training and...

No discounts for taking the wood here.....I have split proceeds from log sales with customers. If you were selling it for firewood, I hope you would not be cutting residential trees....no way you can make money on firewood unless it has been paid to be removed. I am sure if the stars are...

One of the biggest things I have taken out of this situation is that we are having the crew sign off on a work plan....if I tell them to do something....they sign off on the work order and then if they disobey...then it is there problem.

We let him go. OK...thanks!
