    New employee experiment

    On my first day in Olympia, I shoveled up dog-sh*t and cones to prep for lawn mowing, washed a roof, and sorted used marine parts, through a CL laborer ad. I wasn't above working for money. I wouldn't have done that forever, but I realize that sometimes you can find a diamond in the rough...

    New employee experiment

    I wouldn't outright tell them they can't come to my home. I know the problems of employee theft. Lots of laborer responses, one experience groundie (whatever that means). Been away from email for a day, so haven't sifted too much. If the loader feed the chuck and duck (9x16" throat), then...

    New employee experiment

    Thanks, all. And Chris, you're right for a longer term employee, who is Erik. Nobody ever has to worry about stepping on my toes, for the record. Just thinking of ways to try to do something different with different results. John is the guy leaving, and its okay. Its a great opportunity...

    Raj, have you seen the Belay Spool thread. A good piece of equipment for a solo operator, and any crew.

    New employee experiment

    I've wanted it for years. In light of recent developments with going back to full time business, and not having a worrying, road-blocking person to appease, I'm doing it. I'm 40 going into this season. I need a break. I figured it would feed, just don't know how effectively. I will likely...

    New employee experiment

    One good groundman who would be better without the exertion saved by the upcoming mini. At the moment I have a 9" x 16" V8 chuck and duck, which is actually great for this market, its fast to eat fir limbs fed by hand, faster than a feed-wheel, but don't know if I can feed with a BMG grapple or...

    New employee experiment

    I posted ads on Craigslist for employees. If it was to be a full time position, I could more likely, but unlikely find someone good via forums. Oly is not a hot destination spot to move to, as it happens. One ad said EXPERIENCED Groundman/ woman, and told them that if they are experienced...

    New employee experiment

    I was thinking of hiring a brush monkey, working from the neck down. Low skill, low training, low pay, low expectations. A person to put branches into a machine, rake, and blow. I haven't had this before. Always trained guys to cut and rope, some climbing. My new guy, who I've spent...
