how so? better people, same demographics?

Milwaukee's gold coast is much smaller then Chicagolands, the demographic is similar, but there has been more money there for a longer time. Anything Chi=MKE x 3, one of the nice things about the area is that it truly is a big city with a small-town feel, we can get anywhere in 20-40 minutes....

there were a lot of translations between that and reality, though they had to have Lavern as coming from Brooklyn because of her accent. Happy Days was so huge here that there is a statue of The Fonz down on the Riverwalk.

Yesterdays job, worked for a builder taking down 3 big white oaks on a house he is renovating.
he supplied 2 guys with saws and a skidsteer, and of course the wood was gone as fast as I started the next one. Oh yeah, and a cute lil bucket truck, which I opted to only use to get a rope in the last tree pictured by the truck. 30' ain't enough, but hey, he offered.
he wanted me to put in fertilizer stakes, would have been kinda hard, it was a balmy 20 degrees................ I'm going back to prune everything in another month or so, a sweet job, lotta big trees on a lake.

didn't take a lot of pics, as we rolled in and out in 4 hours.

they would owe US money.:dizzy:

I did a small job last week for $400.00 (the only call produced by my last newspaper ad) that cost me $125.00 to run.
I had other jobs, thank god, I couldn't wait to get out of that yard.
hell of a margin, huh?

Hell it is a margin bro here it costs 200 a month and sometimes it is two months before you get one paying customer and usually it is one stump or some thing. I am now scrapping iron mixed in with tree work and selling everything not absolutely necessary. I hate to hustle but looks like its coming so add door to door in my portfolio but hey if it keeps the lights on ehhhhhh:rolleyes:

door to door is saving me right now..................

with unemployment here over 10%, people are always home. not necessarily spending $$, but still better than empty houses, I sell some work every day I go out.

thank god for all my local contacts.:cheers:
