    Climbing saws are getting smaller, the echo 2511 is the best selling topper in the UK these days. Sorting out the 150 so it can compete should be their priority.

    I don’t torment myself with worrying about needing it, I suppose if a doctor told me I could never have another drink, or France became an Islamic theocracy and I had to stop I could. But in the meantime once the sun is over the yardarm, it’s a glass of crisp cold white for me. My brother has a...

    Los Angeles area fatality

    Terrible story. Back in the day I worked in London nearly every day, those cast iron Victorian fences with spiked tops were ubiquitous. They always gave me the heebees. You didn’t even have to take a fall, even a slip ans a drop of a few feet could end nastily.

    Live in Seattle or moving to? Major Tree could use some help.

    You get the feeling there’s a lot of iceberg under the water here.

    Postcard mailers with photos, "creepy?"

    Yes, it’s creepy. Cold calling is pushy. Leaving cards or the like is fine. Taking photos is beyond the pale.

    Bids Won vs Lost | A discussion on bidding and quoting

    Many people (myself included) don’t really enjoy seeing contractors, so if one turns up, seems competent and comes in around the price they were thinking, they hire them on the spot.

    How brainwashed are you?

    He does this all the time (Daniel) drops a few tree related posts to lure you in, then whammo! Starts with the ‘They Live’ stuff. Fill your boots, he loves getting engagement with his nonsense.

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Avant have one, videos I’ve seen are pitiful.

    Vandals. Grrr!

    Very disappointing. Catalpas are very robust, I would leave it, maybe disguise it a bit. A few more chops and that’d be it I reckon. Kid needs a psychological evaluation.

    Best sources of employees?

    The problem is not with that I pay my employee too much, it’s that I don’t take enough out for myself. From a tax optimisation pov

    My accountant pointed this out to me as well.

    Plus it’s often ‘job and knock’ (British term meaning if the days job is completed, money made, then you go home early)

    Best sources of employees?

    Truck and chipper 20k and you’re in business, with those you can compete with the biggest companies in the world for small/medium work. You’ll already have the saws and stuff. No stock to buy, no buildings to rent, no employees (just your mate, who’ll work for cash)

    Best sources of employees?

    It’s a low overhead industry. Margins are tight, so doing your own thing once you’re competent is a no brainer.
