Bloke i work for nearly did! he had quoted the job a month or so ago, when he got a call to do the job. He arranged to do the job on the saturday morning, the customer wasnt going to be there so she said just get on with it and see her later that day. It was only a small Norway Spruce about 35ft in the rear garden. So saturday morning a bit blurry eyed he turned up looking down the alleyway he sees the tree, gets all his kit set up climbs up and gets anchored up. Comes to the lower branches and gets his saw. Running the saw up when a furious bird (who hes just woke up) starts shouting out her bedroom window "what the **** are you doing in my tree". After a short convisation with the irate woman he discovers that its not the tree and its a very similar tree a few doors down. No harm done,but close! Should have opened his eyes. |
