When I was younger, no tree was inpossible. Nowadays, not quite the same...
Least the young'uns listen.
The proof of the pudding was finishing those jobs at a loss, but to the customers satisfaction.
The early years. What great experience to learn from. I am wise and retired now.
Damn, I wish I knew back then what I know now. But it's all hindsight and knowledge that we can pass on.
Least the young'uns listen.
I dunno, Nick. I haven't done a lot of side work over the years, but it seemed that people who wanted me, wanted ME. I cannot recall making less than $150 an hour (might have happened in the early years, we old guys tend to forget some details ) but not recently at all, and I never cleaned up, though I certainly did some bucking into firewood rounds on occasion.
I can see the value if you need to justify/quantify a recommendation to a client, but for simple information gathering, I think an 18" 1/8th" drill bit in an 18 volt drill is every bit as accurate.
For me it would be report writing tool. Some models will bluetooth the print out to you computer so you can save it, include it in a report, email to someone else for second opinion etc.
See? No lawyer could make a case against that, could they?
