The difference is, you are a contact climber, I am a tree company.
I can't afford having it known that I walk from a tree, when I've based my reputation on tackling those trees others walk from.
So I price myself out of it instead.
Any tree can be felled safely. Sometimes the price just gets too high.
I'm waiting for an OK on a Sequoia that two other companies walked on. It is perfectly doable, it just takes an immense amount of Iron.
I think they walked because they couldn't handle the logistics.
Richard and I came in as number 3 company, which we were told ( Stupid client, it is a catholic school) and said, no problem and gave them a price.
It is a tree that most people here wouldn't even think twice about doing, Danes just aren't used to bringing in the real big cranes.
The tree needs to go, but they are having a hard time talking themselves into spending the money.
