Dead Ash Takedown

[JD3000]

Well, are the branches & leaves opposite each other, or alternate? There are very few opposite leaved trees, and the majority of them are easily remembered by: MAD HORSE's VIBrating BLADDER.

Maple
Ash
Dogwood

HORSEchestnut

VIBernum

BLADDERnut

It's an elm, and like Daniel said, elm, even dead, is amazingly tough stuff.

Learned MADBuck in college. Vibs were taught all together in spring ID. Cool.

Got a call from the homeowner, a friend of theirs bid it lower than I did. She told me they bid it for $300 and they would haul all the wood away. Hopefully this person knows what they're doing and no one gets hurt.

$300 ? Whew that's friggin low.

When I get a call back like that i crack a beer and smile. Feels good knowing someone who outbid you is going to eat shit.

I can't even get on the job site for $300. That's about an hour travel. Let them have it.

I chipped brush for two hours today and never left the ground and made 1K. Crazy how some people will risk it all for 300 bucks. Yup, walk away from that one smiling.
