    Bid that tree!

    $70/hr with overhead and quoting and liability etc is not enough! One tactic to basing price: target net income (subtract every stitch of overhead and taxes and buffer), divided by realistic months/weeks worked, then 6-7 hrs/day. Work more and that goes to savings or new equipment, travel etc. I...

    Best sources of employees?

    For me: -safety was lacking -pay would never approach the amount needed to get a house in my area -almost all workers did side jobs to supplement (which was necessary to make any financial headway) -lack of flexibility, lack of positive/wage reinforcement for productivity/safety/attitude...

    Work Photos

    28" bar in 2nd photo. ~15' cliff, couldn't get pictures to capture how backleaning and sketchy. Whip tackle to mini with side stay, needed a tie in on the ground to make the cut. Twitched up-out the lowest limbs and rigged a few smaller ones to minimize damage to the saplings etc.

    Haven't had issues in over a yr and now it's most of the time. If you select the photo and choose "large" size to upload instead of full screen or auto depending on phone it should work.

    Do you think this year has been different for business?

    You know sometimes the phone just doesn't work, or connection goes iffy all of a sudden. Then the rake breaks so no cleanup, but beaucoup bill.

    Do you think this year has been different for business?

    I was more interested on the "Exacerbating the difference even further is the AI-fueled stock market rally. The richest 1% of households hold about 40% of equities, while nearly 50% is “held by the next 19% of earners,” Oxford Economics said in an analysis this week." and how the massive stock...

    So pretty! I backed the ROPS into a smaller one of those brush hogging yrs back and they swarmed the engine but didn't sting me, heart rate jumped though

    Games, competitions, and levity at work

    That's a stellar idea.

    Games, competitions, and levity at work

    Stuff to add lightness and enjoyment to the work day. -See how close to end of rope one can grab when clearing a line. -Landing logs flat outside of the 1/5th rule -Guessing balance point on logs when moving with machines, or limbs when rigging (deceptive leaf weight...) -The quality pun What...
