    It's so intense. It's like everyone is off their rocker this year, lol.

    Hell of a week. Had to let my apprentice go. Not going in to details for her sake, but we're starting at ground zero with a fresh greenie when we get back from vacation. We're restructuring the company a bit too. I'm interviewing an out of state guy from Massachusetts for a climber position...

    Searching for micro-injection kit

    We use the rainbow q connect. Rainbow has amazing customer service. I have a dedicated territory rep who comes to do training and is a text away at any time. It's plugless as well. I do not have a used kit for sale right now, unfortunately. My 2© on this for what it's worth.

    Hiring in Findlay, Ohio

    Do y'all have a college in your area??? I lived in Cleveland and worked for Davey 12ish years ago. I loved the area.

    Ground Protection Dimension ?

    I'll have to do that. Seems like that'd be the ticket. Are yours smooth one one side too? Thinking of putting skateboard deck tape on them to keep from eating it when it's damp.

    @levi r thank you for sharing. Business ownership is a rough ride. This week has been a lot. Totally vent here. It helped me immensely. It's the most thankless job to start a business. I'm reminded once in a while that I'm doing the right thing. Just interviewed a climber from Massachusetts who...

    I had two crews last year. We're in a small town between the twin cities and Duluth, so finding folks can be difficult. This year we've only got one crew. I've not been to TCIA expo yet. Hopefully if things go well we can this year.

    We really do. It's just all consuming right now. Like, I'm not trying to complain because I know what we're doing is good. The tempo of things to keep it afloat is just not sustainable long term. Thank you for the book! I have some time tomorrow for fathers day so I'm excited to start reading...

    Cobra Cabling

    The video I was thinking of was for the tree guard system, nice guy Dave. Not sure if that's applicable for Cobra since there's the shock absorber thing in it.

    Nope. Moved here because during covid I was turning wrenches. Got head hunted for a job out this way. Nothing specifically keeping me here. Our home, some debt, but nothing too crazy. Not real seasonal no. Winter is prime time for oaks and removals. Edit for autocorrect Yeah we're almost...

    Yeah shut down/close up. Basically the three of us are producing more than we can sustain long term. We're all maxed out in what we can accomplish in a day. We did have issues with being too cheap. We've been raising rates, but still are grappling with work being bid months ago, so there's a...

    I'm still dealing with long days and a lack of qualified or able bodied people. We're dealing with constant machine failures, thankfully under warranty, but none the less it's adding a ton of time to things. Cloey rolled her ankle, so she's on light duty and everything fell on me alone again...

    People who have hired a manager/gm, how does that work? I'm to the point I'm frazzled. Even in trying to slow down. I'm open to hiring someone to help us make this work better. I feel like I'm in a negative feedback loop where my inputs cannot do enough, neither can my wife's. We're just...
