Is that shiny red truck a new chip truck? Don't think I have noticed it before in your vids. I'm having our faded red box sand blasted and painted black in a couple weeks. Hope it looks like yours!
I started a business in Metro Detroit. I think it would have been much harder for me to get where I am now, as fast as I have, in a smaller market. My choice would be large market, hands down. There are guys that operate here with crap customer service, crappy performance. It's easy pickins...

Big shot in the tree was killer!! Where was your kboom, could you have tied into it instead of setting up the high-line? Its crazy to take on all the camera setup, execution and planning on top of running a biz and making sure the job goes smooth. Awesome job!
Its just a rip on what I saw man. If you don't find the humor in that comment after watching those guys ride each other you must not laugh much. rename the post 2 dudes 1 hook!!

Back yard silver maple quick and easy.
