Default Re: "So what's your other job?"

To this day three people, whom I made an estimate for and finally did it themselves, got fatally injured. 2 of them died trying to top and fell a big pinus sylvestris, wich was under heavy tension, with a ladder. The other one got thrown from the top out of a big beech he was trying to rig for pulling.(This tree is still standing today.) Also due to working on a ladder, though... Sad to learn something like that after I call them back to hear what they think of the estimate. There are also others whom got permanently injured (1 wheelchair and 1 leg amputated) and also some minor injuries (broken bones and crushes fingers). In fact I only wanna shout through the mouthpiece "I told you so!!!!" but even that doesn't quite say it, now does it.
