Today Was Not a Good Day, F’d Up a Bid And Job

At least you will learn something to improve on. Be thankful you aren't in a "salesman got it wrong, again," situation. That sucks in a whole different way, but you get to blame someone else!
You have our permission to cut yourself some slack. Sometimes jobs will change in a single moment when you realize the full reality. Sometimes that happens when you get in the air, or get to cutting the vines off and see the gaping cavity, or notice your perfect tie in point is cracked in half. The moral is to be aware and make sure those things DO get noticed BEFORE it's a nasty surprise.

You really want to notice bee hives. I barely noticed one on an emergent red oak in a back yard. Think what that would have been like... I bid it high enough to sub out hive removal and never heard back from them.
