sorry Chip...could not resist. This building was slated for burning/demo...so yeah rescue. Pretty big colony with lots of honey stores. I'll post some pics if yall want.
Brian I just heard on the communist station (NPR) that in Florida they aren't supposed to rescue any more wild bee hives. That there is too much of a chance the hive is Africanized.
Went to bid on four Pines, dead as door nails. 50-60ft. trees, two had to be climed an have the tops blown to avoid power lines. ALAP and haul everything off. Not a terrible job.
Lady says,"Well I had another company come and they quoted me $125 a tree, can you beat that price?"
I thanked her for the call, told her I couldn't, and wouldn't be able to beat it and got in the truck and left.
And I thought I was cheap!
Yep Andy, we have an outfit here that claims they'll takedown ANY pine for $125. Then there's this other guy putting up signs that say:
Free Pine Tree
919/xxx-xxx
Insured
Removal?
The signs are layed out exactly as above. I've called a few times but he never calls back.
I don't climb for less than $125, never mind moving the wood off the property.
I just remembered, that first company bid $125 on a 110' loblolly right over the corner of an expensive house. When I bid $800 the guy almost laughed me off the property. I was happy to leave.
This was a tree I did four years ago. The owner was concerned because the two main leads had separated during a storm, leaving a 4" wide split. I installed four cables in the canopy and two threaded rods about 3 feet above the root flare. There is now plenty of new growth on the edges of the split and the ends of the rods will soon be overgrown. The tree is due for some deadwood pruning and roof clearance. It's about 6 feet in diameter at the base.
Chipped brush until noontime... after being sick with the flu all last nite.
Had a dentist appointment in the afternoon to get a wisdom tooth pulled; ended up scrubbing after several attempts with novacaine went nowhere. Had to reschedule for a sedated removal.

Last one I had taken out the dentist, a close friend, had a wide stance braced against the pedestal holding my head with one hand while he wrenched it back and forth using his whole upper body. The tooth socket didn't hurt as much as my neck and jaw.
