She said she wanted to keep some shade. When I first moved here, I thought I was crazy. This is how tons of trees are done around here. I thought I had been taught wrong!! I think the people around here see this, so they think this is proper. Also, I don't think the companies know any...

She wants that entire piece cut out, so that only the sucker tree is left.

I do tree and landscape maintenance for extra cash. I don't usually do anything too high up off of the ground, but am starting to bid some jobs that I wouldn't be comfortable doing. If you are in Virginia and can help out, I would appreciate it. I am thinking we would just split things--you...

I would do whatever is best for you integrity and family. If you can use the money and know that other work will come from it, then it is the right thing to do. If you are going to have that "sleeping with the fat chick feeling" walk away--there will be other opportunities despite what you are...

Yes, that would be awesome! How much would you want for it? I didn't bid it for too much as it is just the one branch. Also, I kept it low because I am trying to get more work out of that area.

If anyone knows anyone in the Winchester VA area that would be willing to help out, send them my way. I would like to do the climbing. They would just be there helping out. I would be willing to share the profits as well.

It would be great to have someone in the area to help out on jobs. That is the main problem--there is nobody to help in the event that help is needed. I have turned down a couple of jobs because of this--mainly removals. The prunings aren't that big of a deal, but when large chunks start...

I have that book and it has been helpful. Currently, my biggest setback is not having the senior person to let me know if things are being done properly. It stinks because I know I could get that tree down, but have no assistance in the event that something goes wrong. That is what I have to...

Odds are, I won't take this job. It is just one of those jobs that I can't stop thinking about because I am pretty sure I could do it. However, as we all know, pretty sure can get you pretty hurt. I will probably stick to jobs I am 100% sure about. Thanks for opening my eyes. Also, what...

I am aware of the consequences and my skill level. This is why I am looking for a bit of help/advice. I am still not sure if I will move forward with this particular job, but appreciate your looking out. I am not looking to be "that guy" who makes everyone look bad. Thanks again

I will be the first to say I am not a pro. I have about 1 year of climbing experience. I worked for a company for 2 years, but moved on to other things. I always had someone to help me through things. It has been about 4 years now, and I just got back into it about a month ago. I know most...

I am hoping these pictures show up. I am glad I went over there to take pictures. The tree seems much more manageable after a 2nd look. I am just apprehensive because it has been a couple of years and I am starting to work my way back into climbing for extra cash. There seem to be many...

Homelite XL Any thoughts about this saw (you may have to coy and paste it): VERY NICE HOMELITE XL AUTOMATIC 12" GAS CHAINSAW | eBay I have started to look for top handle saws under 100 bucks. I haven't done much searching, but I think a Stihl is definitely out of the question. I have...

Is there a way to make one without purchasing any new equipment? Could I use a piece of climbing rope and carabiners?

Wow. I wasn't trying to get everyone in a fit. I was just thinking of purchasing a saw that I could climb with on the side. I don't think it is wrong to ask for some help/advice. I will be the first to admit that I am not sure what is going on inside the saw, but I feel I can easily learn...

How do you clean the carb? Again, I have very little experience. I have only cleaned my saw after daily use and left the maintenance to the mechanic. Lesson learned--learn to take care of my machines :)

I would like to try and climb it, but do not feel comfortable with my skill level or techniques I have been taught. I haven't been shown how to false crotch. I definitely don't want to spur up. I think I could get it all from a very tall ladder and pull saw, but would have to use an extension...

How much would "gummy" fuel lines cost? How would I check them? I am assuming I would see if it has spark first. If it does, I would then move on to the fuel lines? Thanks

I have a customer who recently had everything removed from her tree except one thick branch. It looks like a Dr. Seuss tree. The people told her there was a hawks nest in the trunk so they could not cut that piece off. I think they screwed up. The piece goes out at an angle and is too thin to...
