    Fruit and nut trees

    I'm curious what trees you have at you own and customers' homes. I have three established apples, two new pears, 2 figs, an Asian pear needing a partner (the second for girdled by rodents) and a cherry. I've also got another apple and cherry in pots to plant. The almond doesn't produce...

    Tricky, uprooted, large doug fir... advice and thoughts

    I've got a large doug-fir in a wet area leaning hard and bent into another large doug-fir. It fell a few weeks ago. I looked at it last week. It's away from obstacles, along the driveway. Crane access would be possible, but $1200-1500 minimun seems avoidable for a no-obstacle, no clean-up...

    TH website malfunction. Anyone else?

    @Brandon I have two known threads that don't load under New Posts. I'll have to check under What's New. The Official Work Pictures Thread and How'd It Go Today can be found using the Search function. When I go to those threads, I'm arriving to an old page, which makes sense. Anyone...

    Statement questions as a communication tool

    You find statement questions easy to understand? Statement questions are confusing and presuppose something to be the case as compared to an open- ended question, especially in some situations such as in loud treework environments or emotionally charged situations?

    Plumbing question

    What would cause a water hammer-type of forceful turning ON at one sink but not others? Is it a faucet problem?

    Echo rear-handle electric, charger, 5AH battery, plus free extra 2.5 AH battery, $300

    https://www.homedepot.com/s/Cs-2500t?NCNI-5&skipSpellCheck=true I'm hoping that this extra battery will fit my 2500t, and if not, still seems like a good deal for a niche saw.

    How busy are you this year compared to other years?

    We're staying busy enough without advertising. Small crew and machines. Had an out of town contract-climber in recently for 3 days. Might ask him to come down again for a couple. Might just hold onto the work. Fruit trees and dormant season pruning starts in a month, bringing annual visits...

    Closing bar rails

    I bought a rail closer tool. I closed 2 by feel. My neighbor had a digital micrometer thar I can borrow. How tight is a new Stihl 0.050 gauge bar slot? How much do drivers wear narrower over the life of a chain? I will take a chain over there to measure some time.

    Pricing milled slabs and lumber

    Curious about people's thoughts. I've got to discuss some sales with a guitar maker and custom furniture builder for figured wood. Also, I can currently cut 16'+ beams and could get another section of track to be able to cut 20'.

    Retirement/ selling biz

    How long until you all are looking at one or the other? I've likely got another 15+ years, turning 50 this summer. Less climbing/field time as time goes on.

    Hiring: Short or long-term, Climbing, Groundwork, combo, advanced or learning

    Quick lunchtime post for lurkers or someone you all may know. I've got more work than I can shake a stick at, and just had a wind storm. Been working down these big maples, and saw 2-3 tipped trees at the adjacent neighbors to the job I'm on. I have a separate room (bed, recliner, table...

    Employee compensation and responsibilities

    I am curious about wages/ compensation you pay/ have paid for ground workers, climbers, and crew leaders. Do you have people who only do aerial work ( climbing/ aerial lift) and only do ground work? Do climbers always help on the ground after climbing, or are they done when the aerial work...

    Irrigation needles

    https://www.homedepot.com/p/Corona-MAX-36-in-Root-Irrigator-LG13715/314032780 $25 I just ordered 6 to start. I'm going to give them out upon completion of decent-sized projects and to established customers. Maybe get a company sticker made for them. Long-game. I bet half of my customers will...

    Clarity of responses and readability in debates within threads

    I've notice that when a post is not including a quoted post, nor immediately following the quote being responded to, nor mentioning someone's name, that it is hard to follow who is addressing which point. I know I'm guilty of not being clear and proofreading. Sometimes I am awake in the...
