PM sent. Basically they don't even qualify, which means I'll have to do some work to get them tossed. Then the next lowest bidder is a landscape co that has a 12 in chipper and an f-350
more paperwork....

Smashed a sycomore before lunch, did a larger pecan after.
Tomorrow I go back and haul the logs, grind the stumps, do a little pole saw work, and give them a bid on removing a bunch of sidewalk that will take 2-4 days and needs to be done by Thursday.

Had to make an emergency trip to the hospital last night...not to worry everyone is o.k... better safe than sorry.
today I'm shit canning the dickheads that bid low on my pruning contract...because they are so underqualified, a girl scout troop would stand a better chance of winning the bid

Haha, that's doesn't sound half bad actually.
I'm not sure how I'd explain it to customers, though. You know they would always ask about it.

From Websters: "to go over in the mind repeatedly and often casually or slowly"
"Sir, this is the manner in which we address solving your tree problem"

Pruned and cabled a Cherry, took down 2 Ash's and 1 small Maple, all for my old boss. Got my pay and checked out a quick job, and called back with a price on another. "It'll be only $375" ...."Geeze that's more than I want to pay, it's only a rental property....it's only a little stick tree, straight up" "Yep, a 12" DBH stick, not dropable from the ground, you have my number"
If I can only get paid what I do now and work for someone, life would be good.:roll:

A good money day for me today. I collected over a thousand dollars from two different guys that have owed me money for a couple months. I killed a couple trees this morning and scheduled work for tomorrow and Monday. It's only been about a week and a half since work started picking back up and I'm already making significant headway in the debt I acquired this winter. I hate being in debt.

Going to cook tacos tonight and prepare for humping brush and climbing tomorrow.

Ran some errands like a mad man today, and I saw a couple crews driving around. So, people are movin'! Got my saw back from the shop (stuck valves), picked up yard signs, picked up 2-ply estimate and invoice sheets, bid two jobs, called and faxed mad crazy tons of people... I'm tired. ...gooood...

Chipped brush, felled trees, and overbid a tree today.
It's a PITA neighbor; I don't want it. Called my local "competition", and let him know how much I bid it.

Worked at our very first clients today from when I took over my half. Found some great manzanita over 300 years old. Had a blast. Wind was high and could not burn near the heritage manzanita so it all had to come up hill
We're beat! I had fixed a small pine over there from two years ago and it looked like it was standing on its own now. Took the guy off it for the year, possibly for all time. Had too big a snow load on it couple years back and bent over. All fixed now
