Well thanks, brother. I think it just may be market driven that I’m still busy. I don’t know. Just one foot in front of the other as far as we can go.
Nasty jobs

If work totally dries up maybe I can come up and rake or run a blower for ya for a little while. I'm still rake certified.
My door is always open my man. Might even let you run the crane!

I'd be nervous running your crane. I'd rather be the climber. Thank's for the offer.
OK, well I’ll let you explain that one the next time we catch up. Sounds like you might have to drag brush if you don’t run the crane!!! LOL!

I mean't I'd give you a rest from running the crane in the tree and I'd do the climbing while you got to relax a bit and push paddles.
We can cross that bridge when you get here, should you get here.

The job is done. Was a bit of work to get done in one day, but my team did what was necessary and we met our goals. Most of the stuff on the big tree needed to be drifted to get it away from the house.

Yeah I boosted it because he was waiting to replace his roof. Our residential dept is at 10 weeks right now
I figured you all had a good back log. Nice one.

It is good to us but not to the listees
I'm not surprised the high-quality team at Aspen has a 10 week back log but personally I'm not crazy about being that far out because it seems that often when you arrive at a job that's been on the books for 2.5 months, you find issues have cropped up like "oh we built a swing set under the tree to be removed", "oh our landscaper did part of the job", "oh there was a tree service working next door and they did it for less".
We're out about 6 weeks and that's plenty for us, a 3 man team.

I agree, but a good deal has to do with what the scale of the jobs are. I have a few that I could work on for well over a month. I think managing things in a seasonally appropriate way can also help project a schedule out over a year. That’s also a good way to know if you want to add another crew or start saying no to new work.
