    The "You can't make this sh*t up" thread

    Agreed. Double goes for the "diet" version.

    Retrenchment of a sort--Red

    Cool link & thanks, Guy. I read as much as my attention span would allow lol. BTW I totally misspelled your name but corrected it. How is that pronounced? >>> maylure??? I googled Nalini Nadkarni (from the article) and she gave a TED talk in '09 that I checked out. Nice.

    How to bid jobs when you have equipment?

    So is it apples or oranges? What if your competition for the 31k job said they'd do it for 24k... maybe their equipment is long paid for & they don't view it as an overhead? I'd say they're viewing it wrong, but they'd still get the job & it might look like you were trying to gouge. "But I have...

    How to bid jobs when you have equipment?

    What if you went on that same job and used handsaws & shovels? Someone once said, "Price, quality, speed. You get to pick only two of those." Equipment costs $$$. Period.

    How to bid jobs when you have equipment?

    If I add equipment and don't raise my prices, I was overcharging to begin with.

    How to bid jobs when you have equipment?

    I'd say a small increase would not only be justifiable, but easy to explain to customers... "We wanted to serve you better." And it's the truth. People sometimes lay an egg over stump grinding prices. I say, "Look, if I get one stray pebble flinging itself through a window, I'm on the hook for...

    Worthy of a re-post!

    That tree just had to be full o' gawd-knows-what. That'd be the most unnerving part of it, imo. Ants, bees, spiders, critters, nests... It would've taken him 10 min. just to climb down if something happened. Punky wood, too. Jayzus.

    Retrenchment of a sort--Red

    Could you repeat the question please? I guess I don't get it? Is it a red oak? No, doesn't look like one...no pointy leaf tips... But the boxed caption is fascinating, epi- vs. endo cormic. I have miles to go... so much to learn. Buttress formation? I'd never thought to look for that... always...

    Power Co. tree trimming whoops

    Sorry, but that made me laugh in a sick way... a visual of the bucket guy hooting & you not knowing for a sec if he was frying or just reacting.

    Insurance and deductibles

    That's really weird, Nick, but I'm glad you won...sorta won? Weird that there's supposedly a set policy, yet somehow it's negotiable? WTF? It seems like a small claims suit against the at-fault driver for the amount of your deductable might be legal recourse, or is that not a claim you can use...

    my dirt bag cabin

    This thread is so cool! It's pretty amazing to see the process in pix, & thanx (Jaime?) Porkbrick for sharing... can't wait to see more. I was reading a book to my grandson called "Houses Around The World" and one was a Fujian Tulou, a round structure that looked like adobe and can house up to...

    Mulching Question

    I hear ya'z, but I've been using mulch since Jezus was a lad & never had this ugly mess o' mold. Part o' the idea of mulch (or at least a big selling point) is to doll things up. This was more like getting ready for Halloween. :lichmalignus:

    Craigslist thread

    That's hysterical! LMAO ! Too bad Craigslist doesn't allow posted comments on their ads. That'd be sweet.

    Mulching Question

    Precisely what it looks like, but also incorporated all through the mulch, not just on top. O.K., sounds like no need to panic... but I will need to mulch over it, at least lightly, and I'm not going to use the poo until I figure for 100% that it's not what caused it. Good or bad, it's an eye...

    Mulching Question

    Sorry this isn't really a PHC question, but I didn't know where else to ask : Last fall I did a mulching job on a new job site (old customer, new location), and within 2 weeks the mulch was so moldy it was just unbelievable... as in, so moldy I'm thinking it needs to be completely removed and...

    Free CEU's

    Hi. I don't know if this link is posted somewhere else in the House? Free ISA CEU's are a beautiful thing, especially given they are available on line (no traveling, yay!). I need to send Mr. Phillips a Thank You note one o' these days... http://on-line-seminars.com

    Facebook friends.

    Gay pirates indeed. "Oh, look Maw, it's them folks from the Arborist Association come to take us away!" I knew of a local guy here that would rent a U-Haul truck for the day & load it with brush. Brilliant!!!

    Tree Care in Developing Nations

    Me & my guy have hashed around the idea of being groundskeeper / arborists at a few locations (Mackinac Island comes to mind) and it seems like we'd have to be hired on (as a couple) in that capacity, offering a turn-key type outdoor service. Feature a resort or b'zillionaire's estate. We'd be...
