thats like the pot calling the kettle black, you know I am nuts but hey at least i'm real.

things could be worse, i could be planting pansies in 95 degee temps.

Oh, I was the resident wack job til you showed up. I'm pissed you took my job. I just hope you run it as well as I did. So far its looks great; Yelling at the people, being a complete smartass... keep up the good work.

Been a nut my whole life it seems to run in my blood, think it's the german and irish in me. Don't worry dan you are a whack job in your own unique way and no one can take that from you.:cheers:
 
Get a copy of that letter to her insurance company too. I'd forget about doing the trees unless of course there's good firewood to be had, LOL!

Sounds good. Then the " act of God" thing can be thrown out and who wants to let good wood slip past?
 
Oh, thats good then. So whats all the fuss??

Fuss? What fuss?

I would have most likey handle the situation in close to same manner. Sounded like a good oppurtunity. Getting stuck in the middle of these neighbor things is tough. Nc spoke his mind. Maybe he will do the job maybe he won't but maybe there is one less jackoff who thinks us "treecutters" are doleful idjits.
 
I want to hear a little more about this pansy planting expedition of the dans.

:popcorn:

trust me I planted pansies before and I don't think dan has the personality or patients for the job. he's more or a recker than a planter.

Trust me, if I can handle The Plas and you on the same day I am freaking saint! So stick that somewhere where you won't never forget.
 
That sucks dude. Civillians ca be some weird mofo's, I've learned that already.

Don't forget if you ever need any help, my offer still stands.



So I gave a "Free" estimate to a neighbor of one of my customers. He had two large dead oaks between him and my customers house. These trees were easily $900 trees which had to be rigged down. I explained the liability of these trees that were not only dangerous to his property but my customer"s property. I quoted him $600 a tree which I thought was more than reasonable. I also quoted him on some drop and chip leave the wood trees at $100 a tree. He preceded to tell me he wasn't going to pay $600 for those two trees just because my customer next door want them down, he'd rather let them stand and fall on their own and let his insurance pay for the damage. He couldn't understand why those were $600 a piece and the others were $100. Thats when I started getting angry and scolded him on my duty as an arborist and why they were more expensive. He became all nice to me BSed my ear off for an hour in 10 degree temperatures. The conversation ended with him telling me he had to talk it over with his wife and would get back to me as I stood there freezing my ass off not being able to feel my toes anymore. I should of called my business NC Charity Tree Care.

Ya know dan I really thought everything went well, it seemed that way from your expressions. What pissed me off was that you came on here like SOM said and seemed to sugar coat everything like you were trying to make me look like a joke for your followers. I am a brutally honest speak my mind person and I expect the same from friends and co-workers. If you have beef or dislike something i'm doing then just say it. This beating around the bush #### is for the birds. I try not to hold grudges but i needed a breather from you and AS or it could of gotten bad and I didn't want that to happen.

I don't know what your intentions are with me but I can say that I came on to your and plas's job with a good attitude trying to the best I could. If you see that I could do better than just open that big trap of yours. You sure as hell don't have any problem speaking up on AS.

P.S. If you think plas and me are bad then you haven't seen ####. Yeah plas needs to be beat with a stick a few times but all in all he's a pretty smart donkey.(no offence plas) I'll have to send some of my jackys your way then you'll see some re-re's.

Sure thing man hows your roping skills coming along? Are you getting the hang of the ground thing yet? You looked lost a little on that poplar job.
 
I'm coming up to speed. Takes a little time to get the hang of rope management.

Thats great ya know that takes skill just like the climbing thing does, taking care of the climber is no joke. Good to see your hanging in their though.
