If I did that sort of thing I'd be pushing it for sure! What I will be giving them is a cover letter letting them know all about my business and the services I offer.;) Maybe some cards for the common room. Country club, those are my kind of customers.8)

You!!!! You are a sh-t disturber aren't ya?:P :lol:

Hell yah I feel comfortable boring into that tree. Why wouldn't eye? Somebody's topped that tree before and I'd presume it was the country club that paid them to do it. Really I don't care what they want to do with the info. From me they want a positive ID, age, and whether that tree could...

Y'all read the whole thread? That tree is not on their property but on shoreline easement meaning it's part of the lake. They are making a case to the land commission to have the property line expanded towards the water. I'm assuming so they can add onto their clubhouse or build some type of...

I'm pretty sure the loaner will come with a experienced user anyways. But for sure I'll sink her into a pine first to try it out.

That's why they hired me. It's in the first couple of pages of the thread. They need to determine age to help to determine the history of the shoreline.

Looks like I can line up a increment borer to borrow for a day. Bonus!

I didn't think of that actually. I stick tricked it and then measured with my 100' tape, two directions for a average. Easy peasy and no math.:D Although I did have to stretch my brain to get the diameter from the circumference

Yah I'm gonna have to source a coring implement to determine a half-ass accurate age I suppose. Those measurements are measured not guessed, well height was measured off the stick trick which on flat ground like that is usually damn close.

I'll keep that in mind I've got a few contacts around town here I'm gonna make a few calls tomorrow and see what I can scare up up here.

Well until you send me your coring tool, I don't got one! So just guessing at this point. I'm assuming that that tree is not on their property but on surveyed shoreline which is why they want to argue that it's not shoreline if water hasn't been there in 50-100 years? I'm going to follow up...

Note the american bill for reference eh.:D

Weeping willows often line the lakes here and I've seen many growing right in the water for a good portion of the year. So that was one of my thoughts that it might be and then it wouldn't really help their case any in determining past levels of the lake. Ok here's some pics of what I beleive...

Brian, all they're looking for is positive ID, age, and whether the tree would've been able to survive if it was submerged. They're trying to argue that the lake was never as high as this tree so the property should be included in their lakefront title. They're trying to 'claim' more land I'm...

I have some literature on writing tree reports, but not a standardized form. This will be my first, as long as I can somewhat accurately determine the trees age. I had one other inquiry early in the year but they were wanting me to 'certify' their trees as safe so I passed on that.

So you're gonna charge me for the phone call?:P

Ya Paul I'm sure I'll be wanting to pick your brain on this a bit. I'd like to do a bang up job of this and charge reasonably as It'd be a good foot in the door. But of course I still want to make a profit doing it, otherwise it's not called business.:D

Yah I still got your cell #. Tomorrow I should have time to make it to the site and get some pics and what not. The guy on the phone tonight didn't have any idea as to what type of tree it was, but in his opinion it's apparently very large so finding similar firewood might be tough. He said 5...

Well I just got a call from the local country club who would like a report done on a tree. Very simple ID it, determine the age and whether or not it could live submerged in water. They are trying to mount evidence to have their lakeshore property line extended. I'm wondering a couple of...
