    I have never had a problem with offering a "difficult" client another option. More than not they call me back to do the job. It shows confidence,honesty and integrity and that i have standards i won't compromise, even if those standards cost the client more money going with me. But in the end...

    That's exactly what I told them. I offered up contact info for another company that my give them the answer they want to hear, but at the end of the day, i have to be comfortable that when i leave the site it will be safe for the client and family.

Crotch is split down centre of stem. 3 of 4 big branches need removal, in my opinion, to at least make it safe. Leaving one, to allow the tree to remain a tree...

    Ground Guy Skills Checklist

    I pay my guy $20/hour and he's more than worth it. I throw him extra on the really good jobs. A good groundie is priceless! Starter, i will still pay $15.00/hour. But i would be looking for experience. I really don't want to hire a complete newb or guys i would get for offering 10.25/hour. Get...

    The New Offical Mutts of the House thread

    The Official New Boots Thread

    Well of course the benefit if being able to actually try them on is huge. I like shopping online for gear but boots are so risky, every boots fits different. But when I stuck my feet in the Chippewa I knew. Comfy like a slipper but a good well made sturdy boot. Should be great with the spurs.
