Ca$h price?

A bit of an Instagram Luddite here. Anyone know how to do the equivalent of a "claim this business profile" on Instagram? This page was just apparently auto-created for us, after a couple of customers posted info about us to the service: Login • Instagram -...

Actually looking into that possibility, since the municipal airport is 1/4 mi from our shop.

Breaks down and becomes soil enrichment, ecosystem enhancement, shade, supports other plants. Nurse Log

Living Up to the Name Forest thinning project for a custom home lot on a private lake, up to 10 days, negotiated day rate. Remove saplings, fallen, dead, dying & diseased trees. Brush mowing throughout. Canopy raising up to 16'. Neighbor took 2 loads of chips, 2 others went to a Girl Scout camp...

I did a quick price check on Amazon, and Oregon Dura Max units are pretty affordable these days, but maybe lesser construction than the one you're selling? Right now we're doing Harbor Freight gear, but may want to step up a notch.

Bucked or as logs? And what would the price diff. be to the client (round, rough numbers would be fine)... we have 3 different pricing levels for 1). wood on the ground, lightly bucked to manageable 6'-8' logs, 2). full firewood length bucked, left where it lies or heaped up 3). fully...

I try to expose more skin area for more Vitamin D while stump grinding... since I'm not a roofer, not on the open water, and not up in the Colorado mountain altitudes.

Reminds me, gotta check with WesSpur and find out where our Cobra cable is. Ordered it over a month ago, must be back-ordered. It'll be our first cable installation in quite awhile, since very few customers in the area choose to go with a cabling & bracing solution.

Speaking of Big Wood "Small" cottonwood removal today (75' height, 44" DBH main trunk). Front & center on a fairly busy road (at least it had a bike/parking lane); lots of cones out and traffic control at times. Climbed & craned out. Full load of chips that I ran & dumped half way through the...

Those power lines are looking positively American! I thought it was mostly underground in Europe? Looking into some saw chaps for extensive ground work sessions like this. I don't think the climbers would like any saw pants that were constrictive -- and no local places to try stuff on ahead of...

Suburban Logging Job in Leawood, Kansas (right on the KS/Missouri border) -- driving up to the job in nice, well-to-do suburbia, you would never expect to do a logging-style job. Drop-n-chip 20 slightly declining white pines all around the back fenceline perimeter, leave all wood (19 in back...

We'll be ordering a fall arrest harness, now that it seems that a spider lift is in our repertoire (2nd time renting). And of course, we're still in the market for a bucket truck, so well be getting all that stuff (harnesses, saw scabbards, etc.) MB -- that pic was the very first cut on the...

Oakie Dokie Today's job (yes, just one!) was an oak removal for a township, at a T-intersection of two country roads. The oak was a historic landmark, well known in this part of the county -- but very crispy, dead. It had obviously been declining for years, no foliage this year and perhaps last...

Must be slipping, only 3 jobs today. #1 was a medium sized ash removal, over the roofline and over the neighbor's fence. Climbed & craned out the leaders with our grapple. "New" 372 was a joy to cut with today, limbing the logs that we were keeping for firewood, doing the big leader cuts, and...
