@GregManning; Is there any chance you'd be willing to post an updated photo of your Dawn Redwood? I know I'm dull, but I just find the rate of growth really exciting. I got to look at a Dawn Redwood close to me that the homeowner said was only 22 years old. I did not have a tape measure on me...
@JD3000 is the person I was trying to think of. He might have an opinion worth listening to, if he chooses to give it. Thanks in advance if you do, JD. Tim
Welcome to the TreeBuzz forum, @JoanneS! I think @Reach was probably right about @KTSmith. There are probably at least a few others that can give some insight, but I think you're already on the right track having someone out to look at it.
My question as an ignorant individual...

This is again a moral hazard problem. The person trying to make the sale is not the one or even among the group of people who actually have to do the work. All they do is profit from the sales. They pay no price if the product is way under bid. It makes me think that the foreman or...
Hello, Ken! @Allin1tree!

Hello, @moss!
Thanks so much for post #6. Your very detailed and enlightening description of your niche in the tree work world is really appreciated. The variety of different scenarios you get to work in sounds like a lot of fun. I'm glad that you've found a way to succeed in making your...
Great post, @Dan Cobb! Thanks a bunch for chiming in! I love the way you think about the prospects of climbing as a profession at your time in life and with your background. Safety first. Tim
Hey, @Aerial Traveler!
I have no words of wisdom to impart to you, I just wanted to say that this is a really cool thread you've started, and I look forward to seeing what other folks have to say.
It just occurred to me that maybe @moss would be a good one to ask. He had a different...
How the heck does a guy who has never done tree work end up owning a tree work company?
I would think that watching him screwing up the bids and still being able to keep the business alive somehow would inspire the thought in your own head "Hell, I can do better than that guy!" I think one of...
Hello, @evo. Could you explain to me why you say "When the business builds the pressure comes back"?
Is it just all of the headaches associated with managing a schedule with a lot of work that needs to be completed? This is different from the kind of anxiety the original poster was...

Hello, John! My name is Tim. Welcome to the TreeBuzz forum, just in case that hasn't happened yet. I have no info for you with regard to your post, but I hope you have a great time at the TCIA event.
If they will permit you to take photos at the event, it would be cool if you...

"I rec climb around the house in trees close to some of the largest I see at work and that’s with full kit and no worries ever really.
I’ve sometimes wondered if the stress (is) associated with production work and how the bosses give deadlines and rush the speed of the job and...
@Nkymatt;
I'm just curious to know whether or not you felt this same kind or level of anxiety when you were doing rock climbing? If not, can you figure out why that might be the case?
I loved the things that @RyanCafferky had to say about dealing with his social anxiety at the...
@dtreez
I have no direct info. Here's a link or two to some old threads that might be helpful.
