Did a small norway maple removal for this one older lady first half of the day. The tree was nice and easy, bombed nice little pieces, and my rock star groundie had no problems keeping up with me. Only crappy part of the whole job was the driveway. The house has a tiny little parking area at the top, which is through a bunch of gardens and what not. So we took the chipper around the street and used a neighboring driveway, which was the terrible part. The driveway is really tight, I knew going in it would not be fun because I used it a few years back for another house. Put the pintle on the front of my chevy to get the chipper up there, and that was TIGHT. Turned the chevy around, and blew chips into that. Dodge Vader would have never fit up that driveway, let alone with the chipper. Finished up another job after lunch, and actually got a check! Went back to the little old lady's place this evening to get paid, she's all happy, wound up getting a call from another customer up the road, they had my payment ready as well. I had chipped a very small pile of brush for them on Monday, so they baked me a cake today, freakin awesome. That lady is a great baker, cook meh, but GREAT baker. Also looked at a job for the old lady's neighbor... no money. They want to prune 4 medium sized oak trees over the house, 1 small oak by the road, and prune / guy 2 oaks behind the house. Told them $2,000, they can't swing it.... been going through quite a bit of this lately.
