I'd tell her to train a monkey to remove fronds then...

I get sick of this... These are a few things that I'll tell them...

"You made us a fixed price, but the job went a bit faster then planned. That usually implies that we have to pay less."
-Would you gladly pay more if it took five days longer? Thought so...

"A guy in our street will do this work for half the price!!"
-Here's my card, call me when he's at it, and I'll come and hire him. Sorry for wasting your time...

"A few tree-guys who came over to make an estimate, but they say it can't be done!"
-Those who say it can't be done, should get out of the way of the ones who are doing it.

Like I said... I get sick of this.
