He was big on that, but it seems easy and sensible. No, but it’s easier to follow the conversation if others can see what you’re referencing. None of it is a declaration, just an observation. @cory responded to one of my posts today, I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t see it. If that...

Butch wasn't a fan of people using the reply function in threads... I'm sure he had his reasons, but in general, IMO, I think it's better to use them than to not. On other forums, it's customary to use the reply function even if it's just the last post in the thread. Aside from making it...

I meant to post these pictures as well: Definitely a learning curve for me as I've never done board things (skate board, snow board, wake board)... but nothing crazy to get a basic competency conveying myself in public. There are people who can do gymnastics on them, I'm decidedly not...

I’ve had this tab open since Tuesday on my phone, was going to make a longer video but haven’t made the time. Monday I put 3-4 miles on it driving from my house to the barn, then between the two jobs we did Monday. It was handy being able to leave the guys working and be able to move the MRT...

Why high octane?

😂 I know him, he has a buddy that does most of the filming and editing. Our Manitous are the same max capacity but mine has an extra section of boom giving it an extra 13’ of height and 14’ of reach. Mine also weighs 8300lb more to accommodate that longer boom and I assume I have decently...

Mitigation work is mitigation work, regardless of how the situation was created. Predictable outcomes are usually fairly easy to come by, even if some of those outcomes are less favorable. When selling the job, those projected outcomes should be reviewed for acceptability... and part of that...

I haven't practically climbed for production in years, but I much prefer a high tie in. Based on that, I'd usually climb to the top, set my false crotch, then come down and go to work. The Wraptor made that much easier. These days if we can't get it with the telehandler, we have a 92' lift...

I'm grandfathered in at $39/month, so I doubt I'll be moving. It does what I need, plus a lot more I don't. You can easily export client contact info, the rest of the info is exportable but not as clean to import elsewhere I think.

It's resolved. Most old school forums are dying, it's not limited to the House. Online forums were the social media of two decades ago. Now people like quicker turnaround and less effort. Youtube longer form content was a thing but now most social media is short form content Facebook...

I have more, but @ it’s easier than an email and link.

Same. Any thoughts @Brandon

How to decide would be based on what the customer wants. I normally ask customers what their plans are and how they plan on maintaining the area in the years to come. We don’t do much clearing these days and we do even less mulching.

Liquidity squeezes are a real issue to watch out for, strong liquidity is a huge and undervalued asset for a business. Normally $15-30k gets paid out of pocket. In February: I financed a work pickup. I paid for the trailer and upfitting on that truck. In March: I paid off the 2022...

If it'd clear the wires and there was room, I'd drop it whole ~45* away from the house, assuming it hinges like the pines we have here.
