Nice!! We need to develop a secret handshake for when Housers meet in public.
How'd it go today?

Normal handshake, followed by double fist bump explosion, followed by hip check

Needs a masonic vibe to it. Perhaps an elevated, second tier for "those in the know"?
Once again, I love you all, this really is the best place for our industry.

I got to play hovering homeowner today with the HVAC repair man. He was talking about his years of experience, I didn't doubt, but he decided to get started without many of his basic tools, so I was running back and forth to the thermostat. He finally gets his tools that allow manual control. I tell him what I think is the problem, he agrees, but checks all the things I don't know how to. It ended up being one of those things where I knew more about some particulars than him even though he should know this stuff. Youtube to the rescue, and I'll probably be fixing it myself, since videos showed me he obviously doesn't know how some of the system works.

I was gifted a very nice old broad axe today. I'm going to get it sharpened during this cold snap. Please excuse the black rtv silicone under my nails.
Empahsis 'sometimes'
work mad slow for me, a friend who watches a house for some rich lady calls me re a big spruce that blew down there , I priced it at 1500 + 400 wood removal 1900 total, figured I could do it solo no problem if necessary , Bartlett prices it at 1800 plus wood removal which has to be 400-500= 2200-2300 total, she gives the job to Bartlett. Some rich folks aren't happy unless they're getting ripped off. FML.
I see a bunch of trees ribboned for removal at a pending construction site, I send an estimate to the site excavation contractor who is a friendly aquantaince, he forwards it to the owner, its a low price for an easy one day job, I drive by a couple weeks later and see a no name outfit hacking away at it with junk equipment for 2 days, I text my contact saying I'm surprised I got underbid, he says the owner said it was great price but he gave it to a friend of his son's.
Can't win for losing. I missed this past week of cold clear weather where all lawns are frozen into pavement, bucket truck blew a hose in last week's cold, I was fifth in line for the mechanic, 4 of those 5 in with blown hoses in the cold weather.
Not working while ground is frozen is a hard pill to swallow.

Any input welcome re retiring and selling effectively. I don't spray. Cheers.

Can you sell to Bartlet? They bought two of the biggest, longest established companies here in the last year.

Is selling the whole business and equipment a feasible option?
It is good, just frustrating lately.
Yes selling all is feasible, I'm working on it, we shall see
