I actually turned down most of the calls I had gotten. I spent Saturday on a clearing job I had previously scheduled. I got back at three and sucked down 2 beers when I looked over and saw my wife had taken a message from the Hepp's. Something about a tree on a roof.
I rolled over there but there was a guy there. He was a restoration guy, I suppose you all know what that is? He was up there with a bow saw and asked me what I did. I said " I chop down trees, skip and jump... and I like to press wild flowers" True story.
So he looked at me for a moment
while I climbed up the ladder to see the damage. I was over there last week and had done 1600 worth. The tree that shed a limb was one they had wanted to remove but they said they needed to wait til they had the yen. I felt bad cause them poplars suck and it should have been removed.
The limb that gave was pretty big but the restoration guy had it under control. He also had a tarp to cover the roof. I was glad and went back home to gear up for today.
I did that house clearance job for that house flipper I was talking about. I had 48inchbarpincher help me and was glad for some great help.
There were a bunch of Mexis there drinking beer and chopping down a mullberry and they asked if we could chip it. You may not believe it but that red dump truck of mine can be pretty dam fast. It was full anyway and if anyone asks I can honestly say I didn't understand what that Mexican was asking me to do anyway.
After watching and listening to these guys chop down this tree I asked 48inch if he ever saw James The Narcoleptic Tree Climber. He said he hadn't but from what I told him he will.
We had a good time and made bank earlier than I expected. Got the place in order like we were supposed to and rolled. Though it was hit and humid we pretty much worked in the shade of the maples. I hit em hard but didn't gouge the crap out of them.
