whadja do today?

[2treeornot2tree]

I lost a lot of jobs by people wanting this that and another thing done to only drive by later and see they only had part of it done. So I try to be upfront with them about what's gonna cost them more money. Some don't care about the extra money and some it makes the difference between being able to have it done or not.

 

[2treeornot2tree]

On a good note, at this point just over half way through the year, I have grossed as much money as I did all of last year.

Rutting your way right to the top, eh? Sounds about right.

 

[2treeornot2tree]

Well we all can't be as good as you now can we! Lol

 

[tree MDS]

Well, duh!! lol

Replaced the door window on my asv today with plexi. Wow, don't ever break yours if you own a terex/asv. Big pita. The dealer wanted 1000 for the window, I paid 92 for plexi. Not too shabby.

 

[treevet]

Lol. Hey, the MDS does it right, or doesn't bother.

...or HE doesn't bother!

 

[no tree to big]

Sounds sketchy

It was I made it out alive though

Now I sit and wait cause I popped a power steering line, ugh!

Melted a solenoid today, was down for about 2 hours. Couldn't swing, had a pick stuck up in the air for that time. That's the beauty of having a spare crane.

got a call yestdy afternoon. Giant 5' dia tree uprooted and fell across four yards and snapped a huge elect. pole and transformer explosion and the works. By time I get there in am they worked all night and got new pole and the works back up and threw the road logs on the lawns with bobcat. It is in a good position to close the road so I set that up with the Streets boss. Get there and there are these white napkins up both gutters maybe 50' of em. Huge dead lawn spots. All from inside the transformer. I ask the lineman is it safe for me to touch this wood. He says it is but if you don't see me anymore my hands probably got ate off by the stuff.

Had the job knocked by 2pm after a 9 am crane set up and street blocked. Did another little job. Not a killer big storm day but will take $24 hun every day. Just me and my gm business as usual.

pcb oil. don't bathe in it repeatedly and you will be fine. your old, the effects may affect your ability to reproduce in twenty years. so what. wash up good with hand soap. throw on disposable gloves like mechanics use so they don't get grimy anymore at their chosen profession and you will be good to go. the guys with the hazmat suits and scba masks won't be needed. you ail be here bursting everyones bubble for a while. LOL.

I just Love storm damage. They called this straight line winds. Have to go back and climb 2 trees to get the hangers out.

Weird weather these last two days. Almost in the 80's and no sun. Doesn't feel as hot as they say.
Had 2 more ms200T's give their last breathe. At least we got 4 years out of those 2. So now I have 5 of them that I replaced with the 540xp. Some of them are minor problems, like a carb or something. I told my guy that if any cost more than $200 to repair, it will be a parts saw. So I replaced it with the 540.
Now six of nine guys are climbing with them and love them.
Got a lot of school district work to get done on top of everything else, there are not enough days in the week.
