    Pics, What does your yard look like? And your fleet!

    60x40. Thanks for the tie down input. I am fortunate to not have had issues. I think it helps to keep my equipment clean and neat. Seems others have problems in my area, but their equipment is dirty and beat up. I do have a tie down on the basket also. It is loose in the picture.

    Door to Door Flyers

    Door to door not good. Very unprofessional, and mailboxes are illegal for you do put anything in Or on it. !! Do proper market research, define you customers and figure out how to reach them. Support your locals. Newspaper,etc.

    Ann Arbor fatality

    Thanks tuebor. Interesting site. Could lend hours digging up training info there. No additional info on this accident although it does seem the bridge on the harness "broke". I am really curious how that happened. I just can't believe someone would tie themselves into a bridge that was bad...

    Pics, What does your yard look like? And your fleet!

    ...... Almost all under a roof. Keeps rust battle to a minimum. I notice the trailers sitting outside on gravel tend to rust from bottom quickly. I repaint to battle the rust. Lots of salt and wet weather.

    Structural tree assessment Can we save it?

    Answers to questions. Please ask away !! Yes it would hit the house. 200 year old white oak. Over 40 inches dbh. A riot zone failure would be catastrophic to house. Complete rebuild. No big stump near by. That is just a piece of wood. The house was demolished and the foundation came up to...

    Structural tree assessment Can we save it?

    This large white oak is slatted for removal. She is just too uncomfortable with it. I know many are going to default to reduce the tree. But before that, is it really necessary? Is it structurally compromised? If homeowner is still going to be "uncomfortable" after reduction would you still...

    Spiderlifts Comparisons

    And because it's so easy to climb up and work off the top of the cage I call it 75' working height. I know, "it's dangerous". :). I was kind of kidding , but I can't say I haven't done it. I will say I wouldn't do it in a one man fiberglass bucket. From experience Those things are too...

    Stacking cribbing. Hmmm. That gives me an idea. Do you stack cribbing to gain height? A good 20" of cribbing could turn the sd64 into an sd66. :bananahappy:

    Yes. Those tracks are very elusive. !! Hard to spot and not often visible. I have an easier time tracking rabbit tracks over mountain rock. Lol.:bailando:

    Spiderlifts Comparisons

    Can't do this w a bucket truck...... After rain all night you can see the tracks in the dirt. The other wheel went over the pavers. One cracked in the foreground easy fix. But others were ok. Once we got into the grass there were no noticeable tracks. You can see the lift in upper right...

    Employee Policies

    Thanks Tim and netree. That is good information. Everyone is excited to go and learn. No one except myself is getting ceu's but we all learn something and have a good time. I have paid 8 hours in the past but this year everyone got a raise. My foreman in particular has been at 16 for years...

    Employee Policies

    I have another question on employee policy. How much do you think is fair to pay employees to attend annual conferences. I sign everyone up ($1500) including hotels. I am now debating if I should pay them while there? What do you do??

    Employee Policies

    I am going to add up all the busted equipment and cost to the company at the end of the year. Subtract that number from annual bonuses which is based off profit and give them that calculation. hopefully that will hit home. Fortunately my guys are pretty good. I just have issue with their after...

    Mileage reimbursement

    I borrowed my foremans f250 to pick up a loader on the east coast and paid him government rate plus an oil change which turned out to be $1100 total . I thought that was a bit much but I don't know of anywhere you could rent a nice f250. It was a pleasure to have on the trip and am glad to give...
