I was approached by an acquaintance who just bought a house and has a big windbreak row of half dead poplars. Won't be for a few weeks but that's fine cause I'm busy for a few. Should be a 3-4 day deal. Easy and fun, they'll have to come down in small pieces because they are between houses but there is plenty of room to bomb 2-3' pieces. Makes me nervous to rig out of dead trees, especially poplar. Little bites...

Also collected $2500 from a few wrapped up odd jobs. Paperwork for uncle Sam.... Blah

It's good to have the work but I always feel like I'm letting the client down if I can't be there right away. I got swamped Memorial Day with calls and I'm just about under control. No complaints though, unemployment sucks worse.

Finishing up dropping 8 trees mostly maples around 20" dbh. Got an 85' pine to take down next weekend. I'm starting to book into August at this point. I had my brother-in-law working with me as my groundie, but I had to fire him. He got caught trying to steal my climbing equipment. I got a kid working with me when he's available. Other than that, I'm on my own. By the way, DON'T EVER HIRE FAMILY!!!!!!

Limbed up a 140 foot piss fir, was getting ready to rig the top out when the rain and wind picked up. Reluctantly came down and gonna finish the removal tomorrow. I'll post a pic when I figure out how to load it from the phone.

Really wish I didn't have to climb up that sob again. Then again, I get to do what I love :rock:

I always want to get the jobs done as fast as they come in too. Did three storm damage jobs last week bid a fourth he thought it was a little much. Called me the other day said he had another plan but will keep me in mind I hope he's not having his son come over w ladder and saw that tree had some very dangerous limbs. No way to do with out wiping out something expensive.
