Let me see if I can make it more understandable. The contract is for the United States Army Corps of Engineers. We are removing hanging limbs and whole trees on private property at the expense of taxpayers. The trees where supposedly damaged by Hurricane Katrina, but that is another topic altogether. The way it is set up you are given a list of propertys in a packet. Each packet will have a drawing of the property with the trees identified that need work. You complete the work and haul off the debris, then a Quality Control person will come by with a representative from the corps to accept the property as complete.
$500 per day work for rope climbers

Not quite sure how the packets are sorted but the ones another guy and myself have gotten have mostly been hangers and deadwood with a few smaller flush cuts. Some can also be worked without climbing by using a polesaw from the ground.

We had packets like that a first, but the closer to the end it gets the worse they get.

If you stay around until the end while things are wrapping up you'll find that there are no more gravy jobs. You earn every dime! The less skilled climbers somehow bypass the tough trees.
On our contract our crews are doing about one job per day. And...there are two experienced climbers and a good rigger on the crew.
No one is complaining...too loud ha haha! Let's wrap this up and send everyone home walking!
My last day is Tuesday.

My wife and I are looking to relocate and I am looking for a tree company that is in need of an experienced expert tree climber.
I've been climbing for 13yrs, And have experience in every aspect of the tree service industry.From running a crew, To sales and marketing, I am very versatile. I am an expert in hazardous removals, And have been trained in advanced technical rigging practices through the Arbor Master training series and years of experience working with big wood in dangerous situations. Trimming/pruning to I.S.A standards, Running ropes, Heavy equipment, Stump grinders,and any other types of machinery associated with tree work are all skills acquired over the years. I am also certified for Utility power line clearance, and Ariel Rescue through the Davey Tree Expert Company.I have also been privileged to be able to climb and work in the redwoods and big eucalyptus trees in northern California. I have worked with a few companies in Santa Cruz Ca. I'm looking to relocate from Florida and get established with a good company. I feel I would be a great asset to any company that would be willing to give me a position in their company.Any assistance that you may be able or willing to provide with relocating would be a plus. If you would like to view some photographs and a video from Santa Cruz of my work, you can go to the link below and view those on my myspace profile page.
