Major Decision

[Steve Connally]

Thank you!!! I just got the call. Financing approved. VIRGINIA's first and only treemek build thread coming soon.

Had a KW with a similar set-up (but with remote control) delivering 2-1/2 pallets of shingles to the top of my roof this past Monday.

Steve - My ol' ASVAB scores indicated I should be a heavy equipment operator, so maybe I can come across the river so we can play sometime.

That's got to be about 28sq or a little better. Decent sized roof.

Steve take the boom..
Sell it outright... a dot inspection is not 3k. Sell it to the upfitter if you can.

 

[southsoundtree]

Full service AND inspection for 3k, I believe.

 

[Steve Connally]

Yes both. Is a full service worth it?

 

[tc262]

Where in WI is the truck Steve? I leave for two weeks next week and am swamped but if its close by I can take a peek at it. More importantly which dealer has it? There's more than a few shady ones around here.

Tc. Here it is.

 

[Steve Connally]

Let me know what you think about the dealership.

On another note I told my boss today. You'd think the guy would be happy for me. Negative nelly. He doesn't think I'm gonna make it and he knows nothing about the unit.

 

[tc262]

They are 3 1/2 hours away. Haven't heard of that dealer either, probably because they are pretty far away from me.

Your boss should be stoked. After he sees it he'll be subbing your unit.

I agree 100%.

He says he's also a builder mainly for logging and forestry. Called from Florida. I guess he has a few locations

 

[treebilly]

So what does the set up cost with install minus the truck?

 

[craneguy1]

Or he lives in florida.

 

[96coal449]

Keep a clear head, Steve. I want to see you advance with this ten fold, but don't be like the kid in a candy store. Stay cautious. @tc262 you may know of someone from that area? Or a heavy truck guy from your area that Steve can hire to look it over?

 

[Steve Connally]

287k for the boom and install Im doing my best Craig. If you see something specifically that seems unobjective then call me out on it.

 

[treehumper]

Congrats Steve! You're doing well with all that needs to be juggled. Just keep focused on the end game and you'll always find the solutions to whatever problems crop up.

27 squares on a 2,700 sq. ft. house.


Steve - I want to see your rig in action after you're up & running. <Ken>

Of course you'll make it. As Royce pointed out earlier you already are..... Just keep doing what you're doing.

Your boss doesn't think it would be manly to say how dissapointed he is to loose your current services and how he is a little scared for what he is gonna do.

Congratulations, what an accomplishment.
