I learned today , after all week trimming in the cemetery , dead people are a pain in the arse, they wont get out of the way of falling limbs or log's. Cant wait till I die, I will be a pain too.

Exact opposite here. They never come out of the basement :msp_rolleyes:

Funny one today at co-op. People were given a wks notice not to park in area for tree removal.
two vehicles in the way so the hunt is on.
No problem, lady at the door in her nitey. " I'll bring the keys back when its done"
All done, Knock, knock, knock and she calls me in to leave the keys at the door.
Look up the stairs and she flashes me her beaver. :msp_ohmy:I go the other way.
Shes so ugly she could eat apples through a picket fence.:help:

I thought it couldn't get any worse with the old Polish gal with nothing on at eye level and no nipples in sight. Hangin way low, they were!:msp_ohmy:
 
Ok I suppose an explanation is warranted, it is plainly a top job that will later be taken out because its shading my newly planted ginko :) If I'm real lucky the drought will kill the elm and its too close to my white oak so it was already doomed :)

Yesterday... Set up Civic Gardens in London. ON, for my oldest daughters wedding. An outdoor ceremony in the Rose Garden. Then a tent, for the dance after. Talk about emotions flying (daughter)! Nah I won't cry today (I:redface: hope:cry:) Hopefully not til at least after the ceremony.
 
Took down a little willow yesterday. These 2 chunks took up the whole bed, had to cut a notch on top of the log for the lift cylender to clear. ran 3 loads of wood off the job with our small crane/ dump truck. Job took longer then I bid it for but got er done just the same.

Dude, those rear wheels are so just a beggin' for the "chrome in a can", treatment!! lmao..
 
That tractor could use a little darker shade of green now.


We got bombed with storms here last night. Probably the worst amount of storm damage we've had since Isabel, 10? years ago? Wasn't too terrible at my house, our power never went out so I woke up late and saw a text from a customer- help, tree is on the house! Took almost 3 hours to get ahold of 1 guy and get there. Just a Bradford Pear on the house and some other damaged limbs. Saturday, there most of the day in a nice exclusive neighborhood and only 1 person stopped to ask for an estimate, weird, it was like we were invisible! Power was out in a lot of places so I think they all left to drive around and try to find food and ac somewhere else. Hot as #### today too.

Cell phone only had sporadic service all day, my answering service is based right in the middle of a badly hit area so my biz # doesn't work and noone can reach me unless they have my cell number- #### :angry:
Drove around to a few places where I have customers to check on them and picked up some more work. Hopefully the phone will work tomorrow.

Re arranged the shop (when I say shop, I really mean 24 x 24 old beat up garage) I have become a pro at putting 25lbs of crap in a 5lb bag. Found a bunch of saw scabbords that I thought where left on a job, BONUS! Found that we have a poulon pro saw?, I didn't know it was in there!, behind a bunch of crap of my FIL's, going to sell it, anybody interested :laugh:
 
went to one of the local chain muffler shops yesterday to have a new exhaust pipe bent up for my chipper I have the old one with me tell the dude I need one of these "I can't bend that" me, why not don't have the right pipe??? "no we don't have a bender":msp_confused: you are a muffler shop right..... what is this world coming to

good news though next shop a few doors down bent that bad boy up in a couple mins 30 bucks out the door

Sounds like you'll be slammed once the phones are all up again! Good deal!

Just got in from doing a blown over maple, from the last storm that blew through here. Not bad, 1k in three hours. We used the chipper winch hooked to my big dually wheelbarrow, to get the wood out. One of the few times a mini would have been nice (damn gates).

I looked at one yesterday, guy has an 80 - 90 foot cherry tree, that failed at the base and is resting on his chimney (lucky for him its a really big, though chimney, doesn't even look damaged), with the tops out way over the roof. Trunk is only like 15' from the house, so it didn't get a chance to really get moving. I don't think there's any way to do it without a crane. Maybe I get it.. would probaby be some quick money if I did. Guy seems broke, but he's gonna have to do something about this one. Says he "has some thinking to do". lol.
