A day off Eric?

Ol?, Hi Eric,

I'm guessing you are the founder there, but where do you get the time to do all the correspondence?
You must make a mint when you go on a job!
Australia do have a good government, I'm envious, that keeps out the rifraf and thereby ensures good rates of pay which I think is very lucky on you lot.

Fairplay.

Yeah, day off, things a bit quiet with no rain.

Advantage of being an island and a continent is border control, with radars, navy and aircraft seas are monitored and illegal fishing and boat people intercepted and dealt with.

This govt is tough on illegal immigration.

Apparently a hard country to get into to live.

I go on forums anyway, may as well go on my own forum. I have met many good arbo's and knowledgeable ... sort of felt we needed a place that was more tree focused not chainsaw revving and full of BS ego's.

Many real good folk here, very knowledgeable. I figure also needed to share some knowledge, hard to do with a website, and if we had a place to put it all and reference it easily that would be a huge benefit for everyone.

I even send customers here now for information, if people ring and ask a lot of questions I tell them to come here, maybe put up a pic, saves some time.

Hi Eric, Ol?,

Totally agree. Very glad that you decided to do all this, it must have taken a lot of effort.
Great for people like myself who run into trouble with the odd tree or two.
I have very limited knowledge of trees, I've taken some down and done some stump removing and stripped a few of the Ivy that was all over them, topped and levelled a few Leylandis but there my experience ends.
So it's good to know that there are knowledgeable folks out there who are interested in what they do and learned on the subject, able to lend their time to helping others less informed.

Hats off to you all.

Many beers,

Nick.
