two man crews

[canadiantreeman]

Well, I suppose hate was probably a strong word. I can 'zen' while doing just about anything, except watching people make mini piles. I haven't quite achieved the dimension shift, but probably because I have too much ego.

There are no more lil piles on my work sites. That's the first wrinkle I smooth out in people I work with.

That article remains, however, the codex for the effective ground tech.

It doesn't seem natural to make little piles, except temporarily when hand weeding. With some of the treasure type gardens here, the weeding and debris picking can get done with a tweezers. Hard to make big piles with a tweezers.

I'd sure like to see Japan some day.

 

[MasterBlaster]

I lived there for three years, 6th grade to 9th...

It was awesome!

 

[woodworkingboy]

Let's take a tour some day.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Heck no - I'm skeered of Japan, in my old age!

 

[woodworkingboy]

No worry, you'll feel better after a nice public bath.

I'm a little piles guy. I like raking but don't want to move the sticks any farther than I have to. Go from pile to pile with the trash can and your outta there. My two man crew partner hates raking he'd rather just waste gas and blow every spec of crud toward the chipper with the backpack to ech their own

 

[MasterBlaster]

Bring him onboard.

Sounds like a perfect fit Willard.

Try and be a little patient though, the father/son dynamic is different to a normal boss/employee one.

Arguments can break out very quickly.

No doubt about that Mick but it sounds it could be good for both of you in the long run Willard if you can make it work.

 

[Mick!]

Best of luck

 

[woodworkingboy]

Yes, good luck, hope it works out. I'm trying to think what application flipping the bird has for tree work.

 

[flushcut]

Customer relations.

 

[treebilly]

Good luck

 

[Raj]

You dog! I can't complain, I've three kids, may be more, different mommas. Best of luck!

 

[Raj]

Willard, YOU ARE the father!

 

[Chris E]

Hope it goes good with your son Willard, seems to work ok for the Mafia...

We rake small piles and I cant fault it at all. A few strokes within a certain radius and then onto the next patch. Then pick up the piles on a trap and out the front it goes. I'd make the analogy that if its bad to make smaller piles then to follow that rationale every piece that comes down cannot ever be trimmed into manageable pieces and removed in stacks- The whole piece no matter how large HAS to be dragged out the front exactly the way it is. Bring it on...

24 and still flipping the bird in photos? I don't know Willard....

I don't normally let my picture be taken, but that's a whole other story.

To be honest though, Willard. From what I know of you from the forum (Not much) and the 4 photos of your son (even less) I'm guessing it won't pan out. Hopefully I'm wrong, if you want it to be a good thing. Best wishes and keep us posted!

Levi has "told you so" rights now. If he cares to use them.
