I figure a heat-challenged body responds less effectively to all things, but a coolvest will not help directly to the asthma.
I was wearing a buff yesterday, chunking and chipping. It helped dust, but made breathing a bit more challenging. A respirator for really dusty chipping helps a ton. For less dusty conditions, less so.
When the soil is so dry, every step stirs some up, especially at a working pace.
Maybe just have to tough it out.
Homeowner works for the municipal waste water treatment plant, but is a hands-on guy, and recognized how much cheaper to fix, than guarantee no need to fix.
Down below the black chain-link/ cyclone fence, the hill drops very steeply, and there is another house down there! Might need long, strong vertical-speedline rope slings for the wood, IF i get the bid.
I don't really want it that much. Always hard to give up a good customer. Wraptor will help.

A few fodder shots from the swampy horse pasture clean up. Sure would have been nice to fell these 3 years ago when I told her to do so. Much more expensive mucking it out of creeks, trees, mud and high thick grasses. This job was put off in December once the rains started and we had to wait till it dried out some. Why no leaves in some. But you can see the hung up one better with out...
Just hazard dead out of these 100 plus footers. Left the one dead top for birds.

"Much more expensive" is bad for the client, certainly...but their choice, my friend. In the case of a customer whom I'd advised of the absolute need to do X,Y, and Z right now...addition to the real costs of increased work, I'd add a dumb tax without a single qualm 
. 10 percent seems suitable, 15 could be so as well if there was any attitude expressed by said client

Oh yeah, there is a dumb tax
Yep.
Also one for being annoying.
Bid an easy takedown on two birches a couple of weeks ago.
The client just went on and on about how easily he could have done it himself, if he only had some climbing gear.
Pissed me off enough that I doubled the price.
Damned if I didn't get the job, anyway.
Fortunately he wasn't home when we did it.
He would have been pissed to see that it only took the 2 of us an hour to take those two trees apart.
No cleanup, just hit and run.

This fir was a pita.
Dozens of branches, nearly all of which had to be lowered because of power/telephone line.
30 degrees here today.
Unhappy crew by the afternoon.

Imagine handballing that lot! Client agreed we could dump-it in the corner of the field.
The silage grab is better on oversized stuff than the bmg grapple, which struggles to hold on to the large lumps.

Stig, thats a situation where I offer the client the free use of my gear if I can video the work for later entertainment.
