More jobs! Now we got a 6' DBH white oak in Missouri near KCI airport confirmed and also a 2 day job on the Lake of the Ozarks in middle Missouri -- should be almost a vacation! Have friends nearby we can stay with or else possibly at the cabin where we will be doing the work. My friends own a...

Early Christmas present First job on Thursday was for a property owner, doing street side parking canopy raising and roof line clearance trimming of some pin oaks. The apartment building was right off of the university campus, but he's not a slum lord, as obviously he cares enough about his...

Heading toward December, we're booked up through the 1st. We'll see how it goes after Thanksgiving, though -- last year that's when things took quite a slowdown.

How's business for you lately? Year over year, our summer was perhaps 20% slower and maybe 15% lower billing. We attributed that to a conscious choice to focusing on the hometown (Lawrence, KS) and constricting our usual 50 mile radius for the spring/summer -- maybe one Kansas City-area day per...
