whadja do today?

[DR. P. Proteus]

It's the city Dan. They do it by square footage.

And I don't know what it costs so much

Square footage!? What in the hell are you talking about?

I have been taking down trees in Philly for over 20 years. I never had to shut down center city, the only permit needed was if its a street tree. If you blocked the road you blocked the road. People would get pissed but if you had enough trucks there, well,....

Lol, you try that in Boston and see where it gets you. Rules are rules. I don't make them. I'm done with breaking them, so the customer pays for them.

I had a funny interaction with a member here over a piece of equipment . I don't wanna blow him outta the water ..... But I will just say people are comical and not always in a. Great way

Was it with that Naked guy and his Amish clothesline pulley?

So where does the square footage come in?

 

[DR. P. Proteus]

And I ain't critizing you either, that looked like a tricky job to get done from start to finish, don't want to look stupid out there, its tough in the city, real tough, lots of critics.

The take the length of street needed to close from the nearest side street to the end or next side street, then the width of the street. Equate the square footage from those measurements then **** you in the are for it.

I shut down streets all the time. Call the city, call the cops, call the fire chief, borrow their signs and blockades and bingo everybody can shut their pie hole cause I did the right things.

Only way to do it. I get enough **** from civilians even with the right permits.

I didn't take it that way. I needed a permit on that job like a saw needs fuel to run. 100% non-negotiable.

This is the second time this happened to me: Stump grinding today and a hummingbird came up and landed right on my hand and then the machine mid grind. So weird it blew my mind. My worker was like WTF?! Anyone else have this happen to them?

Sorry, needed a laugh..

Just recommended the possibility of hatracking a couple smallish zelkos to a client. Told them I could give em the Bradferd treatment ifin ya knows what I mean.

One of them ripped all the way down the trunk, not like a Bradferd where it breaks though that is how these trees are growing. One nasty **** of a cultivar these are.

Weed tree IMO. Some of the "cultivars" can get dutch elm too if I remember correctly. Can't imagine why anyone would want one of those crappy looking trees. Even when bigger and healthy, they look ratty and low class. Lol

So explain the square footage deal. Of how much road had to be shut down?

We rolled up on Kelly Dr in the morning rush and took a lane, bitches be coming around the bends getting cones stuck up in their undercarriages til they couldn't go no more. Well, ya put a hunk of wood under that cone is what you do!

The street was 34 feet wide I believe, we took up 300 yards I believe. Did you see the permit picture I posted? It said just shy of 28ksqf

They look like something I imagine would be growing in a field of rice patties.. lol.

I took so many trees down for a Catholic church, oh we broke all the rules. Pulling mulberry

Also talked bout the "one cut program"

Now I am probably going to wish I had that tractor to dig it all up and replant!

But really I ain't got ****. What I got are trees that I cut down and are starting to grow back. I have to get in there, drop all these poles and grind grind grind.

Do you guys not remember I just come out of West Philly? Osage Ave? Craned a mulberry five houses in? Over the road? Left the trunk in the street?
