    Should clients pay without a bill?

    Boss knocking on customer's door: "I'm here to pick up your payment". Customer: "I gave cash to your guy when they were done". Employee: "He never gave us anything". Boss to customer: "Where's the receipt?"

    They're all lucky to be alive

    Those are 13kv primaries. It's a miracle that the tree didn't become energized and electrocute anyone who came near it. They do sound like nice people and if they had any idea what they walked away from they should be going to church every day and thanking the Lord.

    Check out this idiot when the tree falls into the primaries and they go and try to push it back up.

    Was Arboristsite Hacked? Is Arboristsite Down?

    Macs don't have a hosts file and neither do mobile devices. Even if you get around the redirect yourself you are going to be very lonely because there's nobody here. This is a problem that has to be handled by the board where it should be. Hopefully it's now taken care of.

    Is this dogwood bush?

    There is "twig dogwood" but that ain't it.

    Look again. It's the generic V Bulletin board. No ads, no reputations, no Aboristsite banner...

    climbing-tearing up your body-how long can we do it for!?

    Gotta laugh. My father-in-law got a pacemaker a few months ago and the "instruction" book that came with is says never to use a chainsaw. :laugh:

    Was Arboristsite Hacked? Is Arboristsite Down?

    Don't know about that but I didn't like what I saw. So I blocked linkbucks at my router so they can't bother anything on my network. Arboristsite will only load to the point it gets redirected to linkbucks then nothing. I too would like to know what's going on and how they are getting into the...

    advertising pop-up?!!

    I don't have Java or Javascript enabled on anything I have and the redirect still affected devices with Firefox, IE, Android and Safari. So it isn't a java issue- the site itself got hacked. It starts to load and then it hits something that sends you to Linkbucks. I have Linkbucks.com blocked...

    Removing Bamboo??? Recommendations?

    A low yield nuclear device detonation is the only way I know of that has any chance of success. I tried the straight Roundup in the stub method. All the bamboo did was mutate and come back as some kind of clumpy shrub with long skinny leaves. :msp_cursing:

    Jack of all trades master of none Harness???

    And I assume that's why you came here to ask advice. We are telling you that what you want to do just isn't done unless you are an amateur. So if you are looking for a saddle for roofing work there is no such thing and I could be wrong but I don't think anybody here has ever used one for that...

    Jack of all trades master of none Harness???

    I've never seen a roofer use anything other than fall arrest equipment and many don't even do that if they know OSHA isn't looking. If it's too steep to walk you use roof brackets and planks, scaffolding or a lift depending on the situation. If I ever saw a guy doing roof work with a saddle...

    Jack of all trades master of none Harness???

    I think you are going to regret using a saddle while working on a roof. You don't need anything to support you and it's going to be uncomfortable and get in the way. All you need for roof work is a good pair of roof shoes and a fall arrest harness in case you slip. So my advice is to select a...

    Threatened because I wouldn't cut a branch off!

    Shoulda just said that you will be happy to give her an estimate to cut that branch over her property as long as it's OK with the owner.

    Bees.....

    That's a cicada killer wasp. Don't think they will bother you or anything other than cicadas. Only the females have stingers.
