Disposing of chips/brush

Oh, 7 weeks? Never mind these naysayers then; you've got more than enough experience to run your own company.

Now there's a vote of confidence! Thank you.

make a huge pile on your front lawn and put a free sign on it.

Dang! I knew I should've taken a picture... there was this huge brush pile from a silver maple removal done in my neighborhood last summer, no limb was over 2" in diameter yet it had a "free firewood" sign on it. It sat there for three or four months before the homeowner had to go out and saw it up himself.

Either your a troll, or dont get sarcasm when your nearly drowned in it.

You should listen carefully to guys on this site, most have forgotten more about tree work than your going to know within the next 2 years.

Heres some honest advice from the other side of the planet, from someone who climbs every day and runs there own small company and has been in a simular situation.

Here it comes....

THE BEST INVESTMENT IN YOUR OWN BUSINESS OVER ANY PIECE OF EQUIPMENT YOU COULD BUY ON THIS EARTH IS FOR YOU TO LEARN HOW TO DO THINGS PROPERLY, YOU CAN LEARN THIS AND GET PAID BY WORKING FOR OTHER COMPANIES FOR 2 YEARS.

This may save your life, stop you from being a complete cowboy hack and the time spent working for other companies will save you mega bucks in mistakes avoided, systems learned, and general skills that will mean your business will succeed, not end up being the butt of every joke where you live.

Oh, I was hoping it was not. Anyway, I get the point already. I'm not pretending to know everything. I know I have a lot to learn. I'm not going out and taking down a Redwood tomorrow. I also wish I was 25 and could work for $15/hr for two years. I'm going to have to take my time and learn as I go. Hopefully this group, additional training and whatever else I find to help me will be enough. I hear what everyone is saying.

Also, I'm not a gear head, so I don't imagine that just tools, equipment or other toys are going to make me more effective.

I'm done with this thread. I've not learned anything new from it--Good day.

Aww C'mon, reachtree and Timber McPherson gave great advice.

Whatever $ you spent on your 7-week course, a similar number of hours spent earning $15 bucks an hour will have you much further ahead both in your skill-set, knowledge base and your wallet.

The first thing you'll learn is that if the Tree Service business in your area is healthy and thriving, part-time jobs are available. You win just by trying.

I would even recommend interviewing with several companies. Work for a top outfit with shiny new equipment for a spell. Then work with a struggling hack with rusted out garbage. Learn from their systems and organization how they each are what they are.

Cash their cheques, emulate the operation you'd prefer to be, move on.
