    fatal chainsaw mistake

    It took me a while to see if I really wanted to write about this but I can't seem to put it to bed otherwise. On August 26th I received one of those dreaded phone calls. I was listening to the person on the other end of the line explaining to me who he was and I was thinking why is this person...

    Worst Things. To Find In Yards

    funny- I hadn't looked at the buzz for a while and yesterday read this and the part about the solar lights made me laugh. Then I was at a job yesterday backing up(while checking voice mail) and heard a loud crunching noise and looked hoping to not see the owners" suburu and saw one of those...

    topped cottonwoods

    I just did a crown restoration job on a bunch of cottonwoods that had been topped about a dozen years ago. Much to my surprise they contained little to no decay. In many of the mountain towns around here the street trees that haven't been topped are seriously lion tailed. So I guess my...

    Pole Saws and Climbing Skills

    I got to thinking about it a little more yesterday as I was joggled around the bucket in high winds. The danger factor of polesaw exists with many of the tools of our trade. Chainsaw, chipper, handsaw, bucket truck, working aloft.... End result is that we have a flippin hazard filled job. The...

    Pole Saws and Climbing Skills

    I never understand the aversion to pole saw use. I think it is a macho thing. 14' linden pole with mondo blade. Indespensable . Sometimes I will use it to make the final cut on really dynamic storm rigging stuff that I don't want to be near when the doo doo flies. As far as not being able to...

    customer service

    To be fair though- Apparently when you complain publicly about something to do with Sherrill something happens: Patrick from customer service contacted me several times yesterday to try to resolve the matter. So sincerely thanks Tobe for putting someone on it and I am sure everything will be...

    customer service

    Dear Mr Sherrill: I have been buying stuff from your outfit for - I don't know like about 20 years or so and here are a couple of observations about my latest interactions. I feel like I tried to resolve my issue with your customer service but was told that " I don't have time to call...

    customer service

    Yep Tom I did talk to them- it was their lame response that led me to this awful "Sherrill Bashing" that you have witnessed here.

    customer service

    I have found my last couple of interactions with Sherrill to be less than warm and fuzzy. This is a dissapointment since in the past it was actual tree guys that you would speak to when ordering. Not so anymore. The last order that they botched the guy that I got actually indicated that I took...

    no license required in the county- besides I am not sure but I think this guy does have a city license which is handed out so readily it is a joke

    Competition

    Hopefully this is not a sign of things to come: I submitted a bid of 5200 to remove major deadwood from about 15 Cottonwoods at a local golf course. They , in the past, have been wicked cheapskates to work for.Knowing this I thought I bid it tight. There was a big broken limb over parking that...

    Who is the best black tree climber in the world?

    Re: Who is the best black tree climber in the worl I agree with Jamin- there are some of those pieces of wood being rigged that the rope being tied closer to the but would have prevented the butt from kicking back. I was taught very early on that when rigging pieces butt heavy , placing the...

    death sentence for willow

    Thanks. There are people around that inquire about big wood periodically but it tends to be a time suck- so for now it rests in the elephant graveyard

    death sentence for willow

    OK this is kind of bizarre- I can never remember a tree trunk ending up like this at a dump site. I wonder if it will sprout and take root- stay tuned.
