When I first moved my bus. out here from NJ around 1980 (was out there for about 10 years) I did a lot of work in Anderson Twp. Man, long haul out 275, esp if a takedown. Almost every day I work in Wyoming, where I live and my equipment lot is right next to it in Hartwell. Maybe 1 to 2 miles travel each day.

Would way rather live out in the country like you tho. Take a piss out the back door and nobody is staring right at you. Make more money in the city IMO tho.

Yeah , definately more $ in the city. But more appreciation in the country."Thank you kind sir for getting rid of that big oak tree, I was scared it was gonna smash my trailer". "Will $200 or $300 cover you all day labor???

Yeah I agree way laid back in the stix. Plus you don't need to spend so much to live out there.

I am gonna crash. We're back heavy into work now if it doesn't snow more than they say it's gonna tomorrow. Later

Man, it is a hard time of year to do that. I am just tryin to hold on to what I saved last year.

We use to call it "Tree removal on an installment plan"...but as long as towns and cities are comfortable with the prices I guess nothing is going to change..
I wonder if they'd feel comfortable having their family doctor also working as an undertaker, because that's the flexibility built into their tree service...

Hi guys, well you think that you have it tough in the cities trying to covince the public to do the right thing. Try living out here where this Topping has gone from generation to generation.

I must admitt that I am slowly getting it through to some people out here, the right way, to maintain rather than Top and Lop.

But in saying that I took these photo's a month and half ago, on a road trip, in MY AREA out here, done by the local councils from what people told me. So if you carn't get them to stop what hope do we have. This is just an hour away from me which is close.

I am putting a story in our local paper next week about things like this, and a little bit on myself as well.

Yep what do you think, I forgot to tell that the local water board got a cherry picker in to paint the water tower, and hey presto lets kill some River Gums as well while where at it.

Absoloot Precission hey.

Some people simply don't have their eyes connected to their brains.

Better not come out here then, there's plenty of both.
