It’s been a weird year, it seems like work comes in surges get a few then nothing get a few then nothing. Slightly frustrating.

Everyone else feeling the pinch, full speed ahead and damn the torpedoes! We are too damned stubborn to call it quits.
 
Financially I’m about in line with last year, which wasnt a record breaker by any means.

The différence is I’m telling peeps I can do it next week (or even tomorrow!) Could be worse I suppose.
 
Staying busy...some but not much backlog of sold work with no advertising or truck signs.

More work keeps showing up to the point that I am Habib à hard time taking time off. September's the best time of the year to work here.
 
I talked to 2 tree guys in Maine this week.
One has a 3 man crew, charges 2-2.5k/day and is booked into November. He just finished a 6 day job at a summer camp removing many white pines (24”-30”x140’H) for a new camp building. I saw the stumps, lotta nice Humboldts.
Other guy is a solo climber, gets ground help when needed and also contract climbs for other outfits, is fairly busy.
 
Btw their pricing is identical to mine in CT which I find surprising bc the area is definitely less affluent
