    Sherrill's Shitty Website

    Try shopping for a chainsaw bar under "chainsaw accessories" or "replacement parts." Call customer service and you'll get someone who has to run the same searches on the same shitty website. But she can't pronounce "Husqvarna" and she thinks you're looking for a "chainsaw barn". At checkout the...

    Dealing with employee lateness / Calling out of work

    When I was a "night person" I was tempted by the same thoughts. Since the main argument seems to rest on circadian clocks, you would expect the person with the overly long clock to keep cycling through rather than stabilizing on the night life. What if you take a "night person" on the east coast...

    Dealing with employee lateness / Calling out of work

    I'm open to hearing better ideas, but I found the following to be effective. Inexcusable lateness of over 15 minutes (e.g., "I overslept") results in a $3/hr reduction in pay for the next two weeks. If, however they arrive at the shop early there is paid work for them to do. Likewise, if they...

    PPE and Safety

    I'll keep my shirt on on a frosty morn, but most daze just flip flops and my cowboy hat.

    A series of poor decisions and I've lost most of my gear in a tree

    There's always the conventional notch and back cut option. If it works for cat rescues why shouldn't it work for cambiums saver retrieval?

    Making the switch.....HAAS?

    I've found the SAKA to be quite a bit better than HAAS; after purchasing four HAAS ascenders, we're switching to the SAKA.

    Employee longevity, pro's/ cons /recruitment

    I do think there's a fat opportunity to find and to keep spectacular employees that are (a) naturally drawn to the unique and intrinsically interesting work that we do, (b) way too talented to max out at $25/hr, and (c) smart enough and balanced enough to be wary of starting tree businesses of...

    Joy of rigging and felling

    Jaatree, I love the title of your video, and thanks for contributing. You stuck your neck out in posting that video. I hope you stick around Treebuzz. I've learned a lot from the others in this forum. Interacting with the folks here have definitely challenged me to step up my own professionalism.

    Employee longevity, pro's/ cons /recruitment

    When my wife, a university prof, complains about her students I tell her to flunk them quickly and early before they graduate and take a job with my insurance company, or my bank, or the Department of Labor, or social services, or the courts, or anywhere else where another incompetent desk...

    long 3/8" ship auger bit - where to buy?

    Patrick, I know you've used those eye nuts on a threaded rod for this sort of stuff. I wonder if you could still run the cables through the large diameter threaded-rod holes if you had added sort of heavy duty sleeve for the EHS cable for where it exits the tree on the swing side, and then just...

    Mature camphor tree planted 8 ft from home

    I imagine air spading along the foundation of the house and the remaining driveway half, root pruning as needed, and then dropping in a root barrier would be effective, especially in combination with aerating and improving the soil elsewhere (Harris et al. says, "Between the building and the...

    Targeting high end clients.

    When I encourage the guys on my crew to interact with the clients, I realize that the clients are almost certainly more educated than they are. Rich clients tend to sense when a blue collar dude is trying to weasel his way into their wallets. I had a bullshitter of a ground man and it was...

    Mature camphor tree planted 8 ft from home

    Even and uncracked driveways are vulgar. Round it out and you'll have cute little speed bump.

    The "Competition"

    I see the lawyers looking at photos of your mangled corpse beneath a massive dead and broken pine--all commenting only on the fact that you were carrying a chopping tool without forearm protection.
