Every day since last Friday Chris. Love it. If you get one you'll be bringing it out on everything whether the job requires it or not.

We did this whole back yard with it last two days. Took three sets but they were both light days 14 hours

If we used the jib, which I am not at all ready for yet, we could have done it in one set.

Roger. We were off by a c-hair on some of these and didn't want to lean them to. The first section of jib theoretically would have been safe, but I wasn't about to test it out.

Just busy as all get out looking forward to driving my tractor across the lawns. Nice warmer weather but still haven't found a full time helper. I still have a couple guys who help me out from time to time but I think its time I got my very own illegal alien and just be done with it. I am going to need a straight up smart worker, much as myself, to bark orders at this year.

We just went through that process. Put a ad on craigslist and turned up quite a few gems in a matter of hours. Found one that wasn't gonna cost me an arm and leg on the insurance end and put him to work. He's not the best worker I've seen but he keeps showing up so I keep giving him brush to drag. Think that's how this whole being a boss thing is supposed to work.
And perhaps another crew!!
Point is don't get rid of your "smaller" equipment. Those smaller jobs are what got you to where you are now. Times get tough or the rig goes down, the smaller stuff gets you through. I've seen too many guys grow grow grow and give up the smaller jobs and clients only to fail when times got tough.
I like the smaller jobs. Of course I really like the big ones. But its nice to go out with just one guy and the truck and chipper sometimes and have a low stress kinda day for say $800 or $900. Pays the bills and I don't have to kill myself. People seem a lot quicker to go for the lower numbers around here lately too. All part of survival in a highly competitive and saturated market.
