How'd it go today?

[Burnham]

Naw, Paulie, I just meant in contrast to my silly spoof of a post.

 

[squisher]

The problem is sourcing good guys and then the added pressure of keeping good guys going full-time. CTM called me up about a week ago looking to maybe come in as a hired gun, I probably should've tried to make something work.

I'm going to be looking into something though and brainstorming like crazy.

Lol Paul, I can tell your right now my big competitor from Calgary who bought out the oldest company around here would've done ten times better to have made me an offer. Anything's for sale.

 

[squisher]

I like Paul's idea but more often than not the mess needs to flow as the job goes or else the clean-up just takes tooooooo long.

 

[Paul B]

Fair enough, just throwing an idea out there Mr I'm Too Busy

 

[squisher]

No, the idea has merit still. On some jobs it would workout dandy. I just need all the money I put down on this house to make it happen! Lol.

 

[brendonv]

Charge more.

 

[squisher]

I have been.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Buy another house and it will make you work harder.

 

[squisher]

No, no, no I don't want to work harder. I just want to make more $$$$$$$$.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Yep.

 

[Paul B]

I am looking in to my own situation for next year, I have been asked to bid 2 more townhouse stratas for maintenance. If I get them I would need a crew of 3 for 3 days a week and a crew of 2 for 2 days. Me possibly being one of that mix on the site. Fun times!

 

[brendonv]

On the topic of business/life changes. I'm probably dropping the part time job for next year too, and going back on my own 100%. Should probably do it sooner but it'll pay for sitting on my butt one more winter.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Having more work that you can handle, if that was the case here, I would have thought that I died and went to heaven.

 

[Rborist1]

Well then I am in Jay's heaven..........we are booked out 6 weeks + for 3 crews.

 

[woodworkingboy]

Well then I am in Jay's heaven..........

Then you have lots of tall women around too in those crazy shoes....wow!

 

[arborworks1]

Squish. I am in a similar situation. Work is abundant. Getting pretty good money too. I have hired a contract climber on several jobs. Just to keep mess flowing. And mainly cause of the extreme heat we have been having.

 

[NeTree]

No, no, no I don't want to work harder. I just want to make more $$$$$$$$.

Then what in the hell are you in tree work for?

 

[woodworkingboy]

Justin did mention before that he liked his teeth and also enjoyed getting into fights......go figure?

 

[MasterBlaster]

You need to hire Brian to bring his truck up...he's in the mood for cooler weather right now, I betcha .

That makes more sense that you might think! Hell, I'd go for the summer!

 

[rangerdanger]

Looks like I'll be heading up to Michigan for their TCC, and the following week work with Kevin Bingham for a week. Looking forward to the road trip!!! Going to be great working with Kevin(inventor of the rope wrench btw). He's an awesome guy and has some great climbing skills. Leave here next Friday. Stopping in Indianapolis on the way up to stop in on TreeStuff and pick up a few things. Can't wait! First solo road trip!

 

[Fiddler]

Adrian, are you going to compete?

 

[NeTree]

Stay safe and good luck, Adrian!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Don't come back tattooed!!!

 

[rangerdanger]

Got in too late to compete. They are all filled up competitor wise.

And I'll try to avoid the tattoos Butch, lol.

Thanks guys

 

[Paul B]

Have fun dood.
