yes i know a man like this .wedid some tree work for him then he wanted to hire my climber to come to his lake house to do some felling and trimming so i let him do it on the weekend.i did this to teach my climber a lesson he worked his but off and made a hundred bucks for driving 60 plus miles using his own saw paying his own gas and using his own saws and gear that man who is worth about 250 million worked hi but off snd payed him 1hundred bucks lesson learned needles to say my climber doesnt do many side jobs anymore.and the rich guy has to pay a real price to get his work done to.
Nah he will just keep getting estimates until a drunk or stoner does the job for his price
Sad to see stuff like this, because you know who ever gets the job is not going to be qualified and end up getting hurt or dead. Hope that is not the case.
A good response would be to notify OSHA and direct them to that listing.
Well he did say he was taking care of the insurance.
Now I have to tell you guys I have done jobs like this and pretty much just for the entertaiment value. I know I will be OK and also get paid. Last job I did I got 400 for helping a guy TD an easy maple.
It was a freaking riot. I kina like it that way sometimes cause I pretty much have NO LIABLITY in these situations and its fun to watch from up there.
This one guy who was supposed to work with us tried to drive his harley through the work area, got hung up on a log and bit it- that was precious and I will always hold that dear to my heart.
The bawss was working the wild thang, he would start it by holding it above his head and do the push pull thing. I either thought he would cut something off himself, someone else or just drop from exhaustion from yanking on that saw.
They borrow and old 4 cylinder chuck and duck and it was just a blast watching these guys trying to get it to stay running and push the stuff through the rusty knives. Somehow, these guys were indebted to the bawss so they had to push on.
It was a day at the park for me, relatively speaking. I had a good long talk with the bawss before we " commenced cutting at 8 am" and there was a proposal he signed saying I was only responsible for so much. I could have dropped a limb on somebody and it would have not been my problem. I was only responsible for getting the tree down with out breaking the house and even that was vague. I could have blamed it on the guys.
Was it legititmate? I dunno. Great entertainment? You bet. Would I do it it again? Sure, why not? Sign this and we'll " commence cutting".
The Dan is a sick man
I dont think I would sign it with the bunch of idiots dan described there.
You can't buy entertainment like that.
Yup I just wish I could figure out getting my three machateers vid loaded for everyone's entertainment lol
