Am I Crazy

[stihlatit]

I see lots of speculation, that you are partially permanently disabled but can do a lot of physical work. Here in lies the anomoly.

No undue disrespect nor offending anyone but I can understand this. As an employer if I had 2 guys to choose from, both can do the job but one has a limp or is slower etc he missus out. Also, our wc will pay out on aggravation of a pre-existing injury (wrong and stupid) so that means again I dont want people who may have niggling problems.

So, I understand that you are deservedly entitled to something, and you can work, especially for yourself at your pace. I only hope that the wc idiots here change their rules so aggravation of a pre-existing is exempted and if the event occurs the injured claims of the original incident or payout.

The selection of your saws is good except for the 192, piss that off and get a 200T :hmm3grin2orange:

You are right on the money Ekka. If you love to work with saws you will do it for the joy of it. Being injured should not preclude anyone from working at their own pace. I believe that he did not mention working for someone else. He is working for himself. I also agree that an injury should not be compensated on a pre-existing condition unless the WC has agreed to allow the worker to go back into the profession. If he can not he should be compensated to retrain for an other occupation.

BTW Urban you are not crazy. I know exactly how you feel. You must enjoy your passion of treework at a limited pace and be happy that you can.
