Houston , Texas.

Going to be heading out to Houston area in a few days. Any one else going out there to work.
Im taking a crew and equipment. My boss is from that area. I've never done storm work of this Magnitude before.
My wife said," you mean as everyone is heading out were hesding in?"
I hate to profit off peoples hardship, but it should be some interesting work.
Were taking 500 gals of water. A skidsteer, and lots of gas and oil.
Anyone knows what i should be expecting on arrival? We've gotting a lot of rain but nothen like them i guess. I don't have tv out here yet, but i keep reading on face book, pray for texas. Can't be good when Texas needs our prayers.

I hope your boss has a plan,
There is a lot more to it than just showing up,
Good luck,
Jeff

Beast, y'all are gonna lose your ads if you don't have contracts in place. Houston didn't have much tree damage, and It's still flooded. No one I know is headed to Houston.

And, 500 gallons of water? for?They have plenty of water, lol. For drinking? FEMA and the Red Cross throw cases at you at every street corner.

What takes you there, volunteer work or for pay? I'd have to figure they have tree guys there, no?

 

[TheJollyLogger]

Don't do it, Beast. BAD IDEA

 

[jefflovstrom]

I guess you have a boss that says you will go,
have you seen this thread?

I'm still wrapping my brain around the 500 gallons of water... and don't haul gas and oil a thousand miles,

Does not sound winning.?

I always wondered about companies that would go out of state.

They would have to be registered with the emergency service providers and have hotel accomadations or something.

Slayer used to kid about it. Its a death sentence, and there is little money for small timers. By small timers I mean companies not affiliated and just run off to foreign land.

Were still heading out there. Were only an hour from the texas. Our phone no. Is from Huston and i guess we do business in Texas. My boss is pretty shrewd and if he sends us we'll be working. He's consentrating on an area that has damage but not devastated, not Huston it's self.
Me i do what the boss tells me. But i enjoy interesting jobs. And this sounds interesting.

Beast, face it, yer the last one to try to make us believe you do what the boss tells you.

So stop it right there.

You might want to start heading to Florida. Looks like there could be more work there for you by Sunday.

Seems the summer storms are a little late this year.

My sister is in Sarasota. I guess she is used to it. She hasn't called me to tell me she has to leave. Is this like a real bad storm?

I got a connection in Houston, tree guy I met in SC after Mathew.
Just talked to him yesterday.. He says its been so flooded that he just got back to work yesterday and he's only doing his regular contract maintenance work. Not much tree damage.. SAave you time and evergy and head to Florida after Irma hits.. That whole state is going to be trumpled like the Jolly Green Giant was running everywhere..

Ive personally been down to Houston, Corpus Christi, and Rockport for volunteer work. I did not see a single down tree while in Houston. Corpus Christi and Rockport will have lots of tree work for a while though.
