    Hiring in NJ- We Welcome Relocation Candidates!

    Good luck in your search. On a different note I always read job ads, not that anyone would hire me except maybe as a drug mule, but I like to keep a finger on the pulse so to speak. But I look at that ad and I think, Jesus, these guys would be exhausting to be around day after day. All this...

    Do you ever have the occasional customer service experience like this?

    A lot is also how you like to do things, different strokes and all that. I always give them a price beforehand, always. Keeps things clean and tidy.

    I will never work by the hour. When I want to stop for tea or anything else I’m not having some wanker client huffing and puffing and tapping his watch.

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    The lower bar is your reference point, I’ve never felt vulnerable using a TW unless I’m doing something sketchy, in which case I have my thigh tight up against the safety bar. Which incidentally is always working perfectly.

    Just take the flaps off and keep your visor down Sean.

    Being a “Young” Business Owner

    I’m unsure what to think about this. You’re young and some people (who are older than you) call you young, is that such a bad thing? Just enjoy it.

    Avant/branch manager rotation troubleshooting

    Mine popped 2 or 3 times after I had the rotator apparatus fitted. Then, it didn’t. I’d advise against too much stripping out until you’re sure it really is an issue.

    Be honest… I used to be in the “only check when something feels off” group.

    It’s usually the fuse in the front when mine does that.

    Rigging with karabiners

    I do it on every job, put a half hitch in front on the critical/big stuff.

    Dammit! I’m usually better at spotting that.

    I’m lucky enough to have my workshop/storage on my property, so I can potter around my machinery at the weekend at my leisure. Stuff is regularly serviced and checked, just levels and greasing, teeth, blades and cutting tools get a visual most days.

    Damage Clauses for Driveways, Walkways, Lawns, etc.

    I never say anything. Don’t complicate stuff, keep it to a minimum, show that you’re keeping it to a minimum and get on with it.

    High standards vs lower standards for preventing damage and incidents | Business owner vs employees and subcontractors

    I’ve had one small insurance claim in the last 20 years, 2k for some glass in a porch. Wooden fences, the odd telephone line, a bit of a gutter down pipe. These things I’ll replace myself or pay a pro to do it. It’s treework, sometimes these things happen.
