    Eminectin benzoate rates

    EAB's almost here. I'm paying attention to this thread. Been referring to the local phc specialists, so far. Might want to add services.

    Olympia, WA, various needs.

    Hiring now. 38" ash dismantle with no cleanup for a neighbor. The central leader had broken out. Tricky climbing in a storm-damaged tree. Mostly self- lowered, some POWing from ground. Another habitat snag. A lot more than just conifers in the Evergreen State! All sorts of good work, shorter...

    ISC Nessie

    Idk if it was designed for 10mm. Too small for my hands. Spready trees-oriented, I think. I have one "in storage".

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

    P.S. my contract specifies spurless except for removals as per ANSI...z-whatever. If you want to set yourself apart from spur pruners, consider adding that along with other Terms and Conditions.

    1. No spurs on retained parts. Make foot loops for the final cut. 2. Pay them for the safety meeting (naturally). 3. Time for your climber to learn better skills. Don't things the harder, right way makes the right way easier the next time, and time after that. Is this someone who is making a...

    Add-ons need to be priced accordingly. That's all. An unexpected night away from home and plans is a special charge.

    Tree video drama

    Add much as possible, I don't forecast milestones/ end points on a schedule. I can plan the whole job, but not accurately estimate the time. It will be there tomorrow. Had I finished brushing out the ash for an hour while tired, we could do the wood in the rain today. Instead, we'll go to...

    ISC Nessie

    When a falling piece of brush catches, and makes an abrupt stop, you feel it. Having different lengths of lanyards is helpful.

    38" ash dismantle, less than 100'. Small drop zone. Storm damaged and poor pruning over time. A lot of climber- lowered NC rigging, some POW lowering, drift lining from the rear to the front. Homeowner cleanup. Neighbor. Homeowner is about 6'2". He put in the entire front and back yard...

    Tree video drama

    I wanted to finish rigging out the brush in a tree today, since I was close to finished after a long stint of a big tree with a small landing zone. The Olympia 5:00 whistle, a holdover from the Olympia Brewery, possibly, blew. I asked how she was doing on steam. OK. Then, I realized that the...
