Aw come on,some guys need that extra motivation :deadhorse: :hmm3grin2orange:

 

[John Paul Sanborn]

Many years ago I talked to a guy who could not work for his Dad. He said his Dad was the type of guy who would make a face cut in the tree if you were moving too slow on the TD.

When you see the owner doing a wheelie down the street in his bobcat...

I had an owner do that to me early in my career...

 

[John Paul Sanborn]

The owner has a Porty welded to the end of the boom, and slams big wood onto it.

When.....the foreman tells you that the top he is cutting may land in the very active double set of RR tracks. "Put on a reflective vest and be ready to get it off the tracks, so a train doesn't hit it, OK?"

Yeah, wouldn't want the train to hit the limb.

You know you took a job at the wrong company when at every job they make you climb up ontop of the truck and get the 40 foot fiberglass ladder.

 

[TreeBot]

When the boss tells you "don't worry about climbing that one, just set up the (12') orchard ladder on the peak of the (2 story, 1:1 pitch) roof. If you stand on the top rung you should be able to reach that (6" oak) limb with the pole saw fully extended."

Sounds like you should be complaining all the way to the bank.

 

[sgreanbeans]

when the boss asks "u know how to lace a tree, right?"

the boss is the only one with a hard hat, " you want one, go buy one"

the boss says "the bolts on the main bearing on the lift are loose, so be careful"

the boss gets mad that u wont let anybody use YOUR climbing gear on the weekends for side jobs

Nope, never heard of it!

Working for the wrong company when....

The boss issues you with safety glasses and a white coat, then shows you the meth lab!

Got a gig with bloke owned a 90 foot lattice boom that was pretty old n sad. When I turn up with my bucket harness he says. Put that away newbie when it snaps that wont save you.

 

[derwoodii]

With same 90 foot boom bloke n no harness. I was soxin Euc regans over a valley road at full stick & still 30 foot o tree above.
Slid the saw onto the top boom lever (o-yeah dead man was always tied off) Down fast I went like a freee fallin rag doll. I was so spooked, had to come down get my head back.
Went back up, the bucket was now 15 foot shy of last set. The valley side stabilizers had sunk with the boom bounce and were sinking in the soft road side. I was now so past being afraid, just resigned to get the job done or ride the whole rig over into the valley.

You wake up some alcoholic bum who's sleeping in the back of the truck and then realize it's the boss!
