David, is it? Welcome to the TreeHouse! My name's Butch!

Don't be shy to fill out your profile!

 

[Mick!]

Welcome David, whats your story?

 

[Jomo]

One of the best ropemen I ever worked with was named Dave Silva!

Saved a big muscle bound groundman from being eaten alive in BC1800 because he was so fast on his feet too.

Is that you Silva?

Or sheer serendipitous coincidence?

Cheers folks,not really a full-on tree guy,more of a general mowing,hedgecutting, pruning,planting,hard landscaping monkey.seems a right nice community,glad I blundered across it.Getting on now,but still as eager to learn as I was 30 years ago,particularly on chainsaw stuff.

 

[MasterBlaster]

How did you stumble across us?

 

[Silvadavid]

Beats me, probably in an an alcoholic haze looking for chainsaw info,and then I saw a piccy of a giant ape in a bathtub toking on a spliff,and I thought-this must be xanadu....😆

 

[Tree09]

Yup, you will fit right in here

 

[Silvadavid]

Well,I live on the west coast of Wales-I AM not English ��,Been doing general landscaping for 35 years now on my own,planting,designing,routine maintenance and some small tree work,no ropes,no big heights,but sometimes punching above my weight/ability,generally,if someone asks-I do (he says hopefully).

 

[Raj]

Here's a place to make your first post and introduce yourself! Don't be shy to participate, we're a pretty good bunch around here.
Say hi and tell us a bit about yourself, and welcome to the TreeHouse!

Bump... There should be a Manimal coming to the House, soon.

Butch, you maybe saw a new registrant.?.?

 

[MasterBlaster]

He's in!

 

[Stumpshot]

I'll forever have this mental image...

Funny, I know someone with eyebrows like that!

 

[MasterBlaster]

Is he shy, Sean???

 

[SeanKroll]

Concussed.

Slipped on the ice this morning at home. Split his dome in something like a utility box, 3 staples to close, at the hairline. Can't wear a hardhat for a week. Double whammy.

Guy can't catch a break. He was on his way to a cash gig i spotted for him, to get him extra work on two Saturdays, and make another local contact. Kids to feed, etc etc.

Our joke at work, Mannie's and mine, is about the "Manimal" climbing hills with loads of material...Can anything stop The Manimal?

 

[Tree09]

Holy crap! Hope he's all ok!

 

[Burnham]

That sux.

 

[SeanKroll]

I guess hitting a utility box can stop a Manimal. I saw him today. Yep, staples!

 

[Raj]

Hope he heals up soon.

 

[SeanKroll]

Staples hopefully out today... Hopefully a helmet tomorrow.

 

[SeanKroll]

Bump

 

[MasterBlaster]

Bump? So he's back at it?

 

[SeanKroll]
