Trees Leaning Toward House -- Removal

If you continue to think like this, you might as well stay home. That way you can go broke sitting on your couch rather than killing yourself doing manual labor.

Thank you.

Robert!!!
As much love as you get here, take it all.. that means listening when people tell you to raise your prices... not just when they tell you how to cut trees (and how not to cut em too).... Most days the only difference between a great day and a Shi**y one is the size of the check.. This is a hard dangerous business (as much fun as it can be too)... I used to hate cabling trees when i was only charging 125-150 per cable.. Now its 300-350 for the first and 175-200 for the second and I love to cable trees... The only difference is the price... For $200 leave that wood on the ground and go HOME!!!

Read slowly and hear the truth here, Robert.

.... yeah, Sean, great points....I'm slow... and can be lazy..... when rain lets up tomorrow am planning on sanding down the flaking paint on the sides and use up my remaining rattle can of white paint.
.... in fact when I'm out today I'll stop by Lowes and pick up more cans enough to finish the job.

Thanks all. great input. just the kind of guidance I was looking for.
 
No Spanish Windlass twist lever?
Nice tho, source?


Robert,
You are inadvertently scheming to cultivate cheap clientele,
that when pass your name along will focus on how cheap you are rather than how good.
.
i really wasn't meaning to rush anything, just have the key 2 man stuff lined up to knock a big chunk of effort out w/minimal effort and at key safety points (actual felling) and large/bulk drags.
To leverage something large with minimal input, just precisely timed. Like a well timed martial arts strike being worth 20.
.
In Economics there is the "Law of Diminishing Marginal Returns".
1 person input >> 1 person output as benchmark scale
2 person input >> maybe 3x benchmark , gain per person ratio calc =1.5
.
.
.
8 person input >> maybe still greater than 8x benchmark but a falling marginal return, people messing around, getting in each others way
at some point actually less than 1x per person originally benchmarked rate
So they cut off the inputs at marginal drop or inversion to max profits.
.
Key here tho is that if can pick time of 3-4hrs extra man that you and helper together are doing 4x what you could alone @ 8x safer for the whole job by shaving off working drops etc.
>>AND NOT FELLING ALONE FOR SAFETY AND TRUE TRUCK PULL KEEPING FELLING TO TARGET
>>setup for helper timed to this most critical time slice.
You are really backing up , and at higher risk by the numbers other-wise
Especially if that man gets you a job or 2.
