Light but steady since going back to work. Nothing too strenuous but the calls keep trickling in. Today I spent all of 20 minutes peeling vines off a 3rd story eave for $200. Access was tight and the entire ordeal took about 45 minutes but I'm ok with that. I'll take one of those jobs every day. :D

Glad you got paid, Steve. I spent too many years working for cheapskates and slimeballs thinking they could string me out or blow me off, after beating me down on my price before I did the job. I was working 6-7 days per week and was always broke. Since I quit working for those types of people I...

What's funny is that the t and b aren't even that close on the keyboard. :P

The big church where I cut my hand last year called me back today to do some more work. I was afraid I would never hear from them again. But all is well and they have another day to day and a half of work for me. :thumbup:

Every time I'm about to run out of work the phone blows up again. As of last night I had nothing scheduled. I ended up working today, I have work for tomorrow, Saturday, Monday and I have another call from a homeowner that I haven't returned yet.

Calls are slowing down, but I've had a good season so far. Did a LOF service on the truck this morning and got a call for a removal this afternoon. I'm loving this cooler weather.

Been nice and steady all summer with only a couple slow weeks, although I've had almost no backlog at all this year. As of this afternoon I have absolutely nothing scheduled but I'm sure I'll end up working at least a couple more jobs this week.

Willie, isn't one of your employees a member here? Does he know that you want to boot him to the curb? :O

Keep learning from everyone you can while you're in an environment with lots of other tree guys (even if most of them don't know what they are doing). Once you go out on your own it's too easy to become myopic due to thinking you know it all because you never see anybody else doing it any...

Steve, maybe if the State institutes some more taxes for the residents and business owners in that area then maybe it might improve. :roll:

Work has been sketchy almost all summer, but I've managed to stay busy 4-5 days per week most of the time. The last week has been a bit too quiet and I finished today's job by 9:30am with nothing else scheduled on the books. But by 4pm I had work scheduled for tomorrow and Friday as well as a...

I enjoyed this thread on the old site and figured I would revive it here. Credit to No Bivy John for the original thread posting.
