Awhile back I had to go over to The Lesbian's on Frog Hollow ( man, if they ever find out I say that I done for) to deal with a birch leaning over the drive and wires from the ice. The one lead I could just reduce the crown real nice and up it went. This may be a good way to prune these little tree instead of climbing them. Just winch it down and have at it.
The other lead I had to set a rope and porty to haul it up cause whatever I cut would have dropped on the wire,plus it was higher than the first lead. I just retreived the rigging yesterday, maybe I should have left it in but I was in the process of getting the tree stuff together for the new season.
Nothing usuall, just got back from plowing. One of my new clients is an older nurse and has to be out early. The first time I went to plow them she had her car at the bottom of the drive. The drive is a doozy, nothing like Peabody's but I am like " hey, why don't you keep the car in the garage instead of down by the road?"
The lady was walking down the drive to her car which I thought to be unaceptable.Plus the road plows were covering it in,not to mention now I can't get in.They told me they had to do that with the last plow guy. I am like " no, no, no, what is the sense of paying me when you can't drive straight outta the garage?" Hey, what's the sense of having a garge then?
It took awhile for them to grasp the fact that they could put the last plow guy's horse#### behind them. In most cases even with a small storm, like this last one, I service all my drives twice. The first is just a quicky then I come back to dress it up.You have to do this for a lot of reasons but the main one is to ensure good service. The first shot usually is .25 hours and the next is usually more.
