I had some guy ask me last week on a bid if I would do it for the wood!
I about fell out of my chair. We were sitting at his kitchen table. I had to get out of there quick, cause I felt insulted, to be honest, and a little pissed. Oh well, I can tell from his yard that he doesn't want to spend a dime on his trees.
Perhaps he spent what little he could afford to invest in his business on his Most Important equipment, like lines and saddles, and INSURANCE! at least the guy is trying to support himself. He could be trying to live off your wages in the form of Government social programs. Just because the guy doesn't have a Morbark Typhoon or a Stump grinder big enough for it's own zip code, he is Laughable? Too bad. Someday I might like to start a climbing business but being the only income earner in my household(so my wife can stay home to raise our daughter) I probably will have to start small too. Guess I will just have to settle for being Ridiculed as well.kevknap.
your equipment is, how do i say....laughable at best.
if your running those particular pieces (dr and that grinder) i would hate to see your saddle. what are you using for ropes? clothesline?
not for nothing pal but those are the tools you find in the shed of a homeowner. that same shed you have to move to get out of your way so you can do the tree.
although i will say this. good luck

yeah, winter of 06/07 was the first year we didnt work at least 3 days a week all winter. heck we went 3 weeks this winter with nothing. and spring was slower to start, it seems.

Skimming through this thread, i thought i noticed something interesting. All the guys who are complaining about lowball hackers seem to be from down south. \?
Holy smokes!! Tha ridiculous man!! Glad i'm not in ohio-our bucket crews went to three days a week for a couple weeks this winter but us climbers have had a backlog of work all winter. Kind of wished it had slowed down a bit during the below zero days.
damn Begley, thats deep 4 a tree man. Sounds like u got it figured out.
ever know people who look foreward to their vacation and hate going back to work after it ends? I ask why live like that?-Ralph

If things go a certain way, I might end up buying more equipment and wondering why I ever purchased what I have now.
