Anyone Interested?

Alanarbor, You have a good idea there! A non-compete clause. I will have to see if anyone is iterested in that. It is just to bad I can't find someone who works for a Tree Co. who wants to make a little extra for a few hrs of their time. You would think they would be in line to make a little extra cash doing something they love. No skin off their butt. Thanks for the idea!

This occupation is really too dangerous to start out green, no pun intended.

Looking back on the practices the first private tree co. I worked with, I'm really surprised I didn't get seriously hurt.At one time, his job interview for climbing on a transmission ROW was, "Take ol' (new guy ) out there to pine tree in front yard, show him taut-line hitch once or twice, see if he can climb the 45 feet to first limb.) Some would leave right there on the spot, some get half-way and get stuck, some all the way to limb and back down with perfect taut-line. The ones that did were hired and were in a tree the next day or two and trimming with small Stihl power saw. Seems almost unbelievable as I'm typing this. There were a lot of accidents out there. :jester:
