    crane job

    I have a job that I would like to use a crane on but have zero crane experience. Anyone out there (obvious crane experience needed) who would consider a contract job in the south burbs of Chicago one day? I would rely on you for all climbing and expertise for this job and would pay...

    When it was time for me to add a bridge to my master classic, I ordered the replacement bridge for the BF II. It works out great. I could not be happier. Chris

    Don't leave home without it?

    Don\'t leave home without it? I know every job is different and I know some of you take everything with you every time you go out. But that being said what is your go to rigging kit? The stuff you can fit in a rubbermaid container and can take care of 99% of the jobs? Mine is: 200' 1/2"...

    Looking Durable Pants

    I really like the 5-11 tech pants. Super comfortable, durable, dry quick, and I can wear them out to dinner! I think they are cheaper than the arborwear tech pants which is why I tried them and I love them. Chris

    [ QUOTE ] Blackhawks all the way. Not just because they pulled it off last year. I love going to the games and cheering my a$$ off during the national anthem. Plus I went to high school with big Buff. Lacky did you go to south? [/ QUOTE ] The National Anthem is awesome. A great tradition...

    Lifetime Blackhawks fan and long time season tix holder. Finally paid off last season! This year is a bit of a dissapointment considering last year but I am ok with it as long as we have Lord Stanley for now. Chris

    buying business

    [ QUOTE ] I understand your point... And I'm not running down your decision. I just want to throw something out there. My observation/experience with running a business with beater trucks was this: while working on job sites hardly anyone ever came up to us to ask for a card or estimate. But...

    WTB - study material

    Thanks for the replies and/or offers. I had my first class today and they have provided the ISA Arborists' Certification Study Guide. I did not think they were providing it since this is a free class. I think I will be set with this book and the handouts they provide. Thanks again. Chris

    buying business

    Thanks for the feedback. After much thought I have decided to stick with my not as big and not as new stuff for at least another year. I was really tempted to bite the bullet but for right now I like not owing any money. If anyone is interested in the equipment it is still for sale and I got...

    buying business

    I already have my own business in a different location so I am not interested so much in how they did as a business and I will not use their name and #. I would repaint the truck. The price just jumped out at me for the equipment listed. It seemed like something worth looking into just for...
