Welcome to my miserable world

Shit job. Shit bid shit day $1600 job. No place to work. 60' limbs above my tip. Did I mention this was a lightning struck tree. I'm using everything in my Arsenal. I'm just not good enough to do this tree.

 

[treehumper]

Hope you get your head around it or it's going to suck all day and make it worse! If it's underbid then it's on the salesperson not you. Do it safe, do it right. If it takes longer than the bid suggests, so be it!

Be safe and come back home!

 

[Steve Connally]

Ps..... Not a joint in my mouth. I roll my own. Lol. Tobacco. Thanks

 

[treehumper]

I was wondering if you're "calming" your nerves...

 

[Steve Connally]

Ugh. Getting it done. Feeling a sense of accomplishment. Not happy but felling better. Brushed out. Wood is pretty solid. Love the rig n wrench.

 

[Simpleiowaguy]

U look like u need a joint.... lol.

 

[Stihlmadd]

I am feeling the pain brother , nice to know I am not the only smoking climber out there.

5 hours. $1600. 6 guys and a climber. One broken ashtray. Don't think we made much today. $53 a man hour. Shoulda seen yesterday's 1400. 2 rotten oaks over a million dollar home. 3 Ac units and generator in the 8' space to work in. Pavers and ground lighting. Estimator's on a roll his week. Safe and sound is all that counts.

Fuck em if they can't take a joke Steve

 

[Hoowasat]

You ought to get the estimator up in the tree for him to see the job from your vantage point. I hate having to pull branches down through a thicket like that.

 

[Steve Connally]

Yeah it sucked. The other climber finally went up and stripped out a few trees and I swung over into the other 2 and select pruned them. Yeah my selections. Made it a lot easier. Yeah Mac or maybe just fuck em anyway. I got another job offer but it's either a huge cut in hours or in pay. Not ready for the move yet but these guys really take care of their folks. Good crew also.

Glad to here other guys under bid some jobs too...like me.
To bad I'm also the dumb ass climbing the tree, wondering what I was thinking. Not calling you a dumbass Steve.
