    Texting a business card

    Just thought of this... When texting a business card, follow up with a 'text' audio message or quick video clip to say hello and put a face (and PPE -clad crew in the background) to the name.

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Bought the 14 hp chipper for 1000 bucks, used, as an experiment. 450 pounds maybe. About 34" without the axle widening extensions. I can see buying a new 5" max chipper and selling this one. My new Mama Bear chipper is 4'6" wide and Papa Bear is 7'4" wide.

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    Holly killing and some view opening by clearing some hazelnuts and cherries. No climbing/ pole tools for the view, yet. In time. Custy asked to see the big fir from the house (there's 2, one's noticeable big) and a madrona from the trail.

    What’s Your SMALLER Equipment Setup?

    My tree house customers had the last part of the project change a bit. We cleared an old brush pile area back down to the ground where they used to have an additional parking space along their driveway (narrowish, waterfront lot facing Mt. Rainier). While I had a machine there, I took the...

    Fruit tree holding on by a thread, client wants to get another year out of it. Thoughts?

    I wonder if 'maintain' is more appropriate than 'salvage'? Fruit trees are resilient AF. I am having a hard time seeing on my phone. Can you describe your goal and what you see and think is the goal and the plan of action? Fenced or not?

    Storing a branch manager

    I like the work around. 2 multipurpose wrenches are already on my truck. I open the valve with the operator control for one hose as I connect the hose coupler, then the other direction for the second coupler on the second hose.

    Storing a branch manager

    If you ever can't get the coupler to reconnect, loosening a hose-end fitting at the grapple relieves pressure for connection. Different amount of pressure on the grapple or different temps might make it hard, as best I can tell IME.
