Nice pic, and big tree. :msp_thumbup: Wow! Are those apple blossoms in the foreground?, very nice. :msp_thumbsup:
Did you work the tree yourself? Do you have any ground crew?

 

[NORMZILLA44]

Very nice pic CJ! And tree I agree. Randy thanks my friend! Aaron good deal see you in the am!

 

[struggle]

We got snow again:msp_mad: I'm shut back down for a few days until the ground dries out some to get more stumps groundout.

It is helping me get some stuff around the house done though.

Some nice pictures showing up here.

I did get called today to go bid a job so I will follow up on that tomorrow.

That is a blooming Bradford pare. We have a lot of those during the spring here. I did have one ground guy for the job.

Thanks NHlocal.

Bradford pare, that's a beautiful tree in blossom.
Having someone on the ground who knows what they're doing makes a huge difference on any job. :msp_thumbup:
Time to get ready for work, make some coffee.....:msp_sleep:
Work safe. :msp_thumbsup:

 

[Eccentric]

Coffee and breakfast done. Off to load up and cut with Norm.

That looked like a pretty big job, seemed to come down without too much trouble.
On my way out the door to take down that other Pine.
Work safe. :msp_thumbsup:

 

[NHlocal]

Went over and cut that 2nd Pine after I got out of work at 11am. A good bit of work but, it came down without any problems, got it to fall exactly on line. The home owner was VERY happy with the work(he paid me extra:msp_w00t
Almost forgot, on the way home I stopped to bid another job, GOT IT!!!!!
OK, this working man is exhausted, time for sleep.....:msp_sleep: :big_smile:

Nice pictures, and jobs u guys!! Well even with four of us we had our hands full, but impressed a few home owners today, to me it's not all the money. I really appreciate when we get compliments for our work, and if we can impress someone. We were in big wood today fellas, and feeling it tonight.

 

[NORMZILLA44]

More!

 

[struggle]

HEading out to fill a stump hole with dirt and hopefully get a couple others ground out before the rain starts again:msp_mad:

Norm,
it's always good to have "good" help, someone who knows what to do and how to do it. Work always goes faster that way. :msp_thumbup: Glad to hear it went well.
I've been working on getting these videos edited, I'll post 'em as soon as I get 'em done.
Work safe this week. :msp_thumbsup:

.....tree #2.....

Randy with his helmet cam on (techy:msp_wink Videos are always great. I don't have the patience for it.

I managed to grind out seven stumps today so I'm feeling good about that. Got one backfilled with dirt. I have to clean up two tomorrow if the weather holds out for me and backfill them.

Went over to a guys house to collect a check for some stump work I did for him and a guy across the street I ahve done other work for was out and talked to him and he said once I get some time he had a tree or two to take down at the farm and some stumps to grind

It seems to me just taking a few minutes to people you have done other work for to just say hi goes a long ways and often leads to other work. I like it a lot

I try not to get over anxious on getting work and spendy money I don't already have and in this type of work it often seem feast or famine so I proceed cautiously

Shane,
I don't know about being a "techy", but you're absolutely right about needing patience. It can be VERY frustrating, but the benefit I get from being able to watching myself work is HUGE! Well worth the frustration I go through dealing with the "tech stuff".

Developing a good relationship with the customer is extremely important. I've gotten repeat business and new customers from good customer relationships. I always take the time to say hello, not to "hit them up" for more work, just to be friendly.

I admit it, I have "overstretched" myself on buying equipment(more than once). Pretty much every time it's equipment I need for a job or something that will make working a whole lot safer/easier. I always first give it a great amount of thought and do a whole lot of research before buying. So far it has worked out for me. I sure don't recommend it to anyone.

Hope the weather holds for ya'.

Work safe. :msp_thumbsup:

Nice trees my friend! And technique! I agree with both you and Shane on spending wisely, and the customer service. We made about 350 each the other day, not a killing, could have been more. What was worth the days work, was when the customer and son came out shook our hands, and told us how impressed they with with our work. That means everything to me.
