    new echo chainsaw commercial

    Thank you Tom for letting some of the others on this site know that I am not a stalker. As Birdyman noted, I asked a simple question about a TV commercial that seemed to be the rare celebration of a female climber and was wondering if she was someone known in our circles. Just a simple F-ing...

    Bandit 65XL for sale

    Sorry for late reply. Been busy between freeze damage and monsoons. It's a 2006, but again, only 360 hours. Seems everyone around here wants a 12 inch (insert own joke here), but this thing has been perfect for urban areas with small drives and tight spaces (ibid). And it has way more...

    Daily rate freelance

    Dspacio makes a very important point. Plumbers in the Austin, TX area are easily over $125/ hr (mine is $165). I think car dealers around here are all around $150/hr for repairs. Why should a service in which the workers routinely risk life and limb be paid so much less than others in which...

    Sorry Mark. I obviously don't post enough. I didn't notice the date on the post I was asking about. It was the first post of this thread. Hope all is good with you.

    What was it realistically like your first couple years?

    I've been in the biz since 1976 (yes, 76) working with my dad and then a big outfit in New England. Started my own biz in 1983 in Texas. I am a sole proprietor and I've done almost all of my own climbing since day one. I have one small truck, a chipper and a trailer; sold my fertilizer pump...
