Are you billing appropriately? The last insurance job I did, we pulled out around 3AM, I got in bed at 4, and was on a field trip at 8.

I wouldn’t want to do that every week, but the juice was worth the squeeze.

The money is good but my scheduled work is better.

Probably root impacts from construction.
Looks fun.

Heck, I'd be afraid of breaking MANY things, should I need to do treework where Max does.

I just don't have a choice. I'm already used to it. For example, today -View attachment 1d16feef-af53-46a4-94f6-5326abc10f13.mov

Yeah, it started to decline after the parking lot was redone three years ago. Many big oaks in the area like this are slowing drawing the curtains. It’s a shame some mighty fine trees.

Nice work. Why not use your bucket truck on that?

 

[BIGTWIG]

New concrete parking lot and not enough ground.

I’m not cracking God’s concrete.

This is the only tree that can be reached by a bucket truck. Without a bucket truck I made this tree in less than 2 hours. It is irrational to order a bucket truck for 1 hour.

Today I was working alone again. Z3 very quickly lifted me to the top of this tree. I used Z3 instead of Pro Traxion. Very effective! I asked a girl to make a video. It turned out quite unusual

It was not without a surprise As far as I know, round nails were learned to make in 1910. So this nail is older.

I’m so tired of storm work. I miss my scheduled work.

Yeah but that’s a 30K job billed directly to insurance. That job required a 120T crane, 2 100’ lifts, excavator, avant, 20” chipper, and 2 chip trucks. Needed a crew of 8 and all this was double time for emergency work.

 

[flushcut]

Not even close to 30k.

 

[lumberjack]

Not even close to 30k.

Easily should have been well in the teens. Perhaps a thread in a more private area would make sense.

 

[flushcut]

Day rate. The tree wasn’t anything remarkable or difficult. Just a PITA because it was for a neighbor, elderly neighbor. There is probably 10k in damage to the garage.

 

[lumberjack]

Doing hazardous work, changing your schedule to accommodate the emergency of the insured but charging the same as regularly scheduled, traditional work... yeah, I can see why you don't like emergency work.
