We are BOMBED with storm work here and already busy before that. So I get a call from a 100 year old lady (big mansion) I worked for before and go out and she got a giant pin oak uprooted on her property, maybe 20 feet of 5' dia trunk is on her property and all the rest is on the street including squashing a car. Town Supt. comes out earlier and tells her it is her gig to remove it or they will cut it up and put it on her property. I just went out to watch out for her interests and couldn't possibly get to it for couple weeks.
Another tree guy, kid son of another tree co. whose dad retired and the dad is way younger than me is there when I arrive. Kid starts running all this bs on her while I am looking over the damage so he can get the job. Same bs the town supt is running. Kid came up to me to shake hands and I squished his hand.
I tell her she has absolutely NO responsibility for the tree from where it leaves her property as it was healthy and solid and uncompromised and just uprooted in saturated soil in a storm, an act of God....NONE, no responsibility or liability. No car liability, no removal in the road responsibility and they certainly cannot put/push all the debris and logs into her yard I told her, that is against the law. Her son is a lawyer and I fill him in with this info over the phone she hands me and then go home and call the town roads supt (have his # from working for the town) and set him straight and tell him to quit antagonizing this real old resident senior citizen. She's REAL old, quit bothering her and do the right thing. Man she could have a heart attack....and again...her son is a lawyer. Probably $3k on the canopy, 3k on the stem and 3 to 4 hun on the stump without cleanup. Easy to see why the town is dodging.

hillbilly log truck drove by today. looked pretty slick. being the huge deal you are now, you couldn't stop by and show me it.
Oh stop. I know you’re a busy guy is all. Next time! We were trying to beat the rain as much as possible too, so needed to keep moving. I saw Eric out there and honked at him.
Truck seems to be working out nicely now that it’s mostly straightened out. I had three good paying jobs from the week in that one load. Nice to top it off and dump while in town and all downhill to supreme. Wood is pretty much a non issue now. Fun, even. Getting pretty good at running it too.

Update...Town street supt. texted me last night and said the town would take care of their part on the road and turn around circle. Lady called me and is thrilled shitless. Message said they were there at the break of day. Lady said take trunk out whenever you can get to it...no quote nec. I texted the town guy and said thanks. All is good in the universe again.

You back drinking vagisil again son? No other bids even asked for...waiting for a big crane appt. It would tip over the silly schit you got. I am thinking the first pick will be in the 40k range. This job is way beyond your abilities....uhhh....duhhhh...LMAO. You are about a dumb bittch sometimes Paulene. Throw up some more pictures of easy ash removals, lowering a million times, spreading mass plywood with morons who put up with that schit and equipment you are in debt out your a$$ with and ****...censored (shut the fk up). And I mean that in the nicest way possible.Larry Low,, LMAO…
Hahaha. Just make sure you bring a fire extinguisher or two up with you while you’re taking that first 40k pounder. Just in case.

That doesn't make any sense Paulene. And that will likely be the only pick if I can hook it all up. Building is now decided to be demolished. Contractors don't want to do it with piece suspended in it for obvious reasons.
You know ALL that equipment you loan...errr I mean own...? I could go out and buy every piece of it tomorrow. Just sayin.

I hope you have the landing area for a 40k pick.

Wide open as in vid...no way to cut the piece IN the building attic anyway. If you could then you'd have one end go thru the ceiling (it is suspended by the 2 brick walls on either end) to the floor and it would become a total schit show. Just worried about the building interfering with the piece departing and adding lbs to the pick. Would like to get the crane set up right next to the building but a bit of an incline up there. No worries re turf and sidewalk damage as dozers will take care of that. I had my guy cut a space in the back of the building thru the weeds to get my altec 4x4 in there to make the cut....the one cut. Guy just put me off a day and said Mon. is a holiday.
That parking lot looks like it should do it for that highly technical crane job lol.

You go thru this WHOLE life without a clue son? Get out the door and get back to those 20" dead ash bucket jobs son. If you don't probably a few thousand will be removed by your competitors today and you will be one day closer to repossessions.
Just sayin.

We all seen that one, your banner year job. We do that all the time. We done 10 crane jobs in the last 2 weeks that size. Imagine a crane on that job without all that lowering and all that chunk cutting and loading and time involved? Off to work now Paulene. We can play more later. I got big $ waiting for me out there. Toodles.
Lol. Toodles.
