I was the only one who took the job. The owner said 3 had refused to remove it for him. Funny those same 3 are always cheap when it comes to stuff they feel they can handle. I'm about sick of doing only the hard jobs because of price alone sheesh I got cut throated on two jobs this week, one was crane job, other was a failed 40 inch dbh white oak, just cleaned up stump ground. I bid 1500 which I thought was more than fair and customer agreed. Well; he calls me few hours ago and informed me my price was beat by 750.00 I'm about to sell the farm and move somewhere that will hire me, as I am sick of it.When I see trees like that, I'm always tempted to ask the homeowner just why the hell they waited so many years to finally do something about it. Is there some guy walking around telling them, "Oh, it's just a wee bit sickly... give it a few years and it will perk right up and be fine!" ...?
