The real story....

[Tree Pig]

Well now that we are all freinds again I stand by my statment. Save some more money and by quality it may be painful up front but it will pay for itself down the line. Look for a good used saw if money is that tight because, in this economy its tighter for someone else and there are deals to be had and you may just help someone out. And guys if you bring your feelings to a thread or to work with you, well do I have to say any more. Hey stihl I have a 4 year old girl and she sharpens all my chains and were moving up to filter cleaning next week.

LOL awesome

Just thought I'd drop this. I read this and thought you said she sharpens them while moving. lmao. I was two seconds from asking for video of the poor girl losing a hand or something...Sorry.

Good hit on the kids though. See, further proof that we're not all useless!! lol

God bless everyone

Hey, my 5 year old daughter can tell you how to change out the pads and rotors on a 1-ton (she's not quite strong enough to lift one of them there rotors but....) and my 8 year old can tap a keg by herself for you. The 10 year old daughter, well, what can I say? She's artistic.

i may have an extra copy if you need it.

I can totally appreciate the help too. Sitting with my brother for like 15 hours on Saturday really helped clear things up. I've got the 2005 edition of Tree Climbing Field Guide. Lots of info in there. Good stuff. I don't have the companion yet as everyone around me is out, and likely to get more in AUG?!? I was mystified. lol

BTW I don't think you're french. If the french had chainsaws, I highly doubt they'd be in the situation their in. Ever see how many blasted trees they got? wasting valuable parking space if ya ask me. lmao


Oh, and canopy boy, if it wasn't family. lol I wasn't planning on going home that night either, just got frusterated with the POS I actually kicked the dang thing at one point. Honestly, was the most impressive thing now that I think about it...NOTHING BROKE!! Well, that is to say that the saw still sucked, but no cosmetics anyway. lol

Flint is tough, plus there's so many laws. (i.e. A guy who takes probably 50% of my hard woods, was loading the other day. Got about 10 minutes from home on back roads, and a cop stops him, cuz he's over weight?!? S-10 with a 1Ton p/u bed converted to a trailer, had total about 1.75 cord of wood. I'm not saying he wasn't overloaded, just kinda useless stopping the guy. I of course fronted $$ for the tickets and fines. Seems silly to me though. I stay in business because of word of mouth. I've got a few $5-10K jobs coming up, which should help, but they're 40 minutes away. lol

My wife helps pay our bills obviously too. lol Insurance is paid for a yr, on everything, 2yrs on equipment and vehicles, and health for about 18months. I try and throw money at that stuff when I can. I don't bid for my truck, or car payment, or to pay equipment, cuz I've got no payment. I pay cash for everything, otherwise I sub it out. I've been subbing a lot of chipping lately, seems about time to invest.

Have a blessed day,

Jeff

Honestly, I need practice spiking. I get a good 10 foot run going, then I pull out. I try and go slow, but I dunno what's happening. I'd imagine if I knew, I wouldn't need help. lmao

Thanks guys,

For sure! I'd love the opportunity to learn somethings from a pro. Heck, I'll even buy ya lunch or something. lol Serious, I'd greatly appreciate it.

As far as work goes, I got it now, so, I'm gonna beat it to death. I hesitate to hire guys on some jobs, because very few people want to work up here. So for the jobs that aren't time sensitive, I'll do the whole thing myself, and make my wife help after work. lol I've got 2 people waiting for esimates in Grand Blanc, one is a very important looking lawyer. Gonna barter some stuff with him, and make some cash. Should work beautifully.

When abouts ya thinking of heading to the sewer affectionately called Michigan?

God bless

Jeff

 

[Tree Pig]

Fishercat let me know when your gonna go by that house, another neighbor looking for work I cant take right now.

 

[fishercat]

Now your talking my game the hunting isnt too bad here man.

 

[fishercat]

the hunting here could be good.

Now your talking my game the hunting isn't too bad here man.

if the tree hugging lesbians were kicked out of the DEP.this state has the stupidest hunting regs i have ever seen.they don't know a damn thing about conservation.they damn sure don't care about nature or the animals.

 

[fishercat]

i'm going tonight.

Fishercat let me know when your gonna go by that house, another neighbor looking for work I cant take right now.

Well I left for the day when the rain started. But ask the HO about the neighbors house. If HO isnt there when your standing in here driveway look across the street and 1 house down (I think) you will see a up rooted tree in the back yard that has been cut some. Thats the house. I will be back around there tomorrow in and out from another house up the road.

Well I will agree on one thing for sure, their idea of deer management sucks

 

[fishercat]

I paid a guy $15/hr for about 12 hrs a day once, and he said he wouldn't be back. It wasn't worth the money?!? lmao I said cool. That's the kind of people there are, it's $30/hr, and they want 100 breaks, or they will collect their checks. lol

I LOVE the hunting and fishing. I live on a lake, so every chance I get I hit the water.

Talk at ya soon,

Jeff
