Price goes up because they now “compromised” the integrity of the tree.

First time for everything
Customer calls for an estimate and tells the office “He has a price in mind” I’m not sure what he meant but I’ve already have a chip on my shoulder from the stupid statement.
So when I show up I see that the h.o started cutting on the crimson then I noticed he destroyed his fence the notice that he cut into the base both sides approximately 2-3” each side and stopped to call a professional I suppose.
Probably a 18-20” diamond but JEEZ!
Some people

After reading “I already have a price in mind” I thought your post was going to lead to how much he would sell the wood to you for. He must have really swallowed some pride to even make the call.

Reminds me of when we got an “emergency” call at dinner time from our former social studies teacher. I asked if it was a come-tomorrow-morning type of emergency or a come-right-now kind. He said “You better come now”.

18” Oak, fairly straight but definitely leaning over his garage. He had already tried 12 ways until Sunday to cut into the trunk. I said we better put a pull line in it and for a proper face cut and back cut. Threw the throwline into the crown and it was shaking so much I didn’t dare try to install a rope. My brother just pulled the two sides of throwline while I formed the cut below all the other guy’s attempts.

I finished the back cut and said “pull”, only to watch the tree snap right in the midst of all his cuts. Thankfully the throwline was enough and it went into the lay. Upon looking at where it broke, there was a string of fibers the diameter of my thumb in dead center where his saw magically never touched and that was all that saved his garage (apart from our arrival).
