    Truck Refurbishing

    Once the sheet metal is squared away, repairs/paint, I’d check a sign company as well.

    Root Collar Excavation/ Stem-girdling Root Pruning thread

    Personally I like the carbide ones. The hardened steel ones you can take a cutoff disc and make gullets. But yes they do gum up but are easy to unclog.

    Root Collar Excavation/ Stem-girdling Root Pruning thread

    Oscillating multi tool is my go to for girdling roots. As for narrower tips you can always cut/grind the cutter to meet your needs.

    Bid that tree!

    If the customer is paying who cares how long it takes.

    Bid that tree!

    One work around with the drainage is cut a bunch of limbs and fill it, build up enough padding logs on either side to bridge the gap.

    Bid that tree!

    Take the fence apart and send it. Top rail is already bent, a post will need to be removed. It will probably add two hours to the total job.

    Pricing

    You can always take him out for drinks and dinner. Have the misses/you bake him an apple pie. There are all kinds of ways to repay someone without money. He may also enjoy splicing and you gave him something to splice.

    Help Port or cherry trees

    I hear ya. I’ve walked away from jobs before, I’ve even had building contractors redesign foundations around trees. One notable job I had in the being of my business and could have used the income was to remove a huge beautiful yellow Japanese maple, perfectly happy and healthy 30’ tall. Still...

    Sawdust, a washing machine killer?

    I don’t think those high efficiency washing machines do a very good job cleaning. Wifey and I have one with some lame agitator-less washer, never again.

    Terrain Can Bite You

    I’m glad to hear he is ok. Have you heard how the rebuilding effort is going? I haven’t heard a damn thing since it happened. It’s like “oh well it happened move on”.

    Terrain Can Bite You

    Don’t forget about the folks down south that got washed away. Water and low places is no place to be when it starts to flow. The sheer devastation in Nepal is rather astounding and heartbreaking, all those people just gone instantly.

    Sawdust, a washing machine killer?

    Air compressor and a blow gun for cleaning out your pockets. It does an amazing job of getting every last crum of dust/saw chips out. Only takes two or three seconds per pocket. Same for muddy boots.

    Truck beds?

    A nursery buddy of mine has a custom bed that had fold down sides. The sides are about a foot tall so shorter than a regular bed sides but easy access. I’ve thought about a flatbed but the tailgate is so useful as a work bench when filing and fueling I just can’t give that up. Anyway I’d...

    Help Port or cherry trees

    IMO the tree service is just doing what the contract says. The drama and protest should be on the city and golf course. I think most tree companies/people want to preserve every healthy tree but some times it’s slash and burn at the customers request. I remember catching grief on a golf course...

    Trailer theft security

    Most thieves like easy targets. The more locks and inconveniences the less likely it will get stolen, contents might be a softer target so maybe don’t store anything inside and don’t lock it. Hardened boron chain with thick locks, something a bolt cutter won’t defeat, woven through and around...
