Let's see, I'll be 40 this summer, fat, and just learning to climb. Yeah, it's pretty true already:lol:

I think that was of more interest to Brian than about anything else here:lol: He gave me some very good advice to simplify that job, and a lot of food for thought when I aproach others. The moto "don't climb anymore than you have to for a removal" really stuck with me!

Yeah, I don't think it's a good move for him to make!

Cool Dave! I've not heard back from the HO yet. We did the large Maple trim yeserday. Went really good, in and out, looks nice and everybody got to make some money. BUT, I think the climber is working around me with the HO. I'm not very happy about that!:evil:

As I said"Newbie".

BUNCHES!!!!! So if I fill up a 40 yd. rolloff it's ten ton. I think it's about half of that so it's fiveish. 2 ton are included, that leaves three ton at $55, or $165. Plus the $185 and $205 means I can dump $555 into having it chipped and still be where I was without have to do it:D As I have...

The way things are setting up I will have little more to do with this than shag brush! The climber has a guy that will chip for $100 and hour. Soundshigh until I did the math. $200 for the chipper thats going to mostly suck, $200 for the rolloff that is going to be in the way. So there is four...

Wel Justin, if someone "real" wants the job, I will back down in a heartbeat. But the $4k is unrealistic. Even at $2.5k I think I am high, but at this point that is my limit. That gives me a CYA factor and I don't feel like I am cutting anybody out. I have the utmost faith in the climber I am...

To clairify a couple of things: They "other guy" that did the bid has no insurance or equipment either. This is all coming to light as we go on. Y ou know how that goes. He's "done some tree work before" kinda guy. So I am not taking anything from a legitimate company to start with. Go figure...

Indeed!

Thank you Dark, but I know he wasn't trashing me either. He made a lot of valid points, as did you. I get where he's coming from. He's tired of "Trees fo' less" lowballing jobs they have no buisness even thinking about. And it's VERY tough times, hell I've been majorly underbid on a couple of...

I am going to break this down and respond as best I can: You are right on. I think it's out of my league as well. I am VERY limited in my abilities, training and knowledge. This is why I post questions here. You will be honest and real in the answers you give. And I have seen the work you all...

HEY, now thats an idea:lol:

I've had Dave do the few that I have needed ground before. But he's so busy right now I don't know if he could get to it in the next year!

And here I was exicted it was a Vermeer! Shows what I know! Guess I need to call a couple of other places tommorow.

It's looking a little better. The chipper, a 6" Vermeer is $205 a day. The rolloff is $185 dropped, picked up and 2 tons. It's $55 a ton after that. The grinder is $175 a day or $65 three hours. Not sure if I can do it in three (I'm a newbie ya know). That leaves money for the climber and...

Been thinking about the flopping it over ideas. There is an awful lot of weight going towards the houses. I THINK I would have to remove some of this to get it over. It will also block the street for a bit, not a biggie. But I am not sure how far it will get into the yard accros the street, but...

AHHHHH!!!!!!

OK, pics. And I said 56"DBH, not across!!!

I THINK I can get all the chips in a roll off. The wood will come home, probably two trailer loads, to be sold this winter. I drove back out to look ati t again and re-think it, 45min. each way. Pictures will be up latter when mama gets home then I will post. I am all for the help/ideas I can...
