2 employees. That's all. I'll try and drum up pics. There's some around.....

I'm not hardcore. I work, and work hard, but there's guys on this site that would make me look like a dead beat. Jeff was balls to the wall in his younger days. He is running out of steam now. I'll see if I can find pics and start a different thread on my childhood for those interested......I...

He doesn't sub full time. It's getting less and less. He built a large and successful tree service starting when he was 20. In the early 2000s a bad divorce, followed by a hard drug binge left him with nothing. Nothing at all but a few tee shirts. He lost 3 homes, his whole business, and...

He is 49. Still climbs several times a week. Lots of bucket work too. I can tell he is running out of steam. Loads of cranework as well. The area he lives and works is home to some of the biggest trees on the east coast. Cranes are common place there for removals. Last I counted he was subbing...

Not a chance of him joining. He doesn't use computers for any reason at all. Never got with the times I guess. I'll tell ya who hates my said uncle. Murphy. They are in the same community. Murphy bids 4k on a job. My uncle goes 3k. Not because he is cheap, but because he blows Murphy away in the...

Ill tell you what else sends me running. When a potential customer bitches to me about his last 10 tree services he hired. I understand a bad experience or two. Its easy to be fooled into hiring a shit tree company. But when its been bad experiences over and over for years on end, the customer...

Thats food for thought there. I think the Treehouse would be even more outstanding then it already is, if we collectively agreed to let each person have their beliefs without getting hammered. This place is hands down an unparelleled website. Second to none. Little drama, talented folks, and a...

I dont go for that shit. Ive gotten funny about customers. If I think you have a problem brewing in your mind, I walk. Period. Call me jumpy, maybe I am. My experiences told me that if they have a negative spin on things before we get started, they'll surely have the same negativity after we've...

Slip bark is nasty......learned all about it when I logged.

My uncle dropped 20 feet once. Smoked a joint, got back in the tree. 10 years later, his TIP snapped on a tulip poplar and dropped him about 35 feet on his back. That one broke a disc. 2 years ago was using another guys bucket on a job and it broke off at the turret and dropped him 40 feet...
