So basically weeding flower beds is all they’re good for here.

also different rules here for family vs hiring joe from down the street
Makes sense.
A few of my guys have teenage sons who want to be arborists. Just thinking through ways to legally incorporate them in the summer.
What's nice is when we get penndot jobs a 17 year old brush dragger will be making 45 per hour!
Wow, seems like you really hit the jackpot with the labor over there. Good for you. I know you work hard at it.
I wish I could say the same. Lol. Gotta love them though!!
Mike W, It might be possible to form an ESOP. If your employees own part of the business, their chillin may be able to work before normal legal age. Don't know. ESOPs have their benefits and cons of course, but reading your posts it seems you are helping to advance employee skills, and thus further build and streamline your business. Sounds like you have at least some employees that are capable. Just a thought. I investigated it years ago (1985), but decided against it because I would not be able to relinquish control to somewhat inexperienced snot nosed kids (!!) My Fathers ESOP worked very well.
Worked across the street from this classy little operation today. Lol, can’t get much closer to home than being able to warm up in your own office while still connected to the tards… I mean guys on the comms.
quite the tall pine in the background
Just a weird little workaday tree. In between a V or wires, brick paver patio under it, right near the end of my side reach, up and over that big jap maple in the front, shooting under the wires and maple then over with jib down,,. Just a general pita. Easy tree, just hard to get at. Quick day though.
Been kinda spoiled without the plyboard lately. Actually had a pavement bucket job yesterday.
Should’ve been a rain day. On days like this I keep telling myself that the bank don’t care if it rains, payments are still due no matter the weather. Worked till one (finished the job) and sharpened saws to get my 8.
Looks like the inside of a crane! Who paid for that removal- the city or the homeowner?
Gross day over here too. Ground conditions are not conducive to tree work.
@mikewhite85
Yes that was my view today.
City contract work. I didn’t check their reason for removal on this one. Tree wasn’t really in bad shape for a silver maple.
Heading up there today to open up four trees for the crane next week. Three are declining pin oaks and a dying ash.

TB is the real deal. I know his kind. Someday I hope to have an employee that’s half the treeman he is.
Man, what I could do with the equipment I have and a couple real tree people…

you should tell that to your guys. That'll go over REAL big.
let a real treeman take over your company then...
quit talking **** about your employees, fastest way for each and every one to walk out that door and never come back
You need to relax. I don’t say anything on here I wouldn’t say to my help. They know they aren’t treemen and can’t help me with the more skilled aspects of the work, I talk about it freely. There are no secrets here, and we’re not babies. It’s really not that big a deal.
Why don’t you chill out and throw up some pics of your work or something instead of just stopping by to throw random jabs?
aww, he got offended
get a video of you saying this to one of your "helpers", im sure itll go viral on liveleak
Nerdy 12 y/o internet geeks must be even more bored than I realized.
