Had a good laugh today

treerat · 20th April 2011, 09:51 AM

So its been raining here just about everyday for a month, out doing estimates and some visiting, get a call for another estimate, great! only about 15 mins from where I am, roll up on the potential job, and this is what I see, I started busting out laughing in the truck for about 10 mins until I can get myself right, pouring rain, knock on the door trying to contain myself. Had a chat asked how long has this been going on, blah,blah,blah. long story short I bid the tree in front of the house in the wires on the sidewalk. They dont think they can get the tree down without taking the wires out! bah hahahahaha

LOL, seems a mess .... everything is topped.

Yep most of the trees in this town are topped, It is such a shame so many "Tree services" do this. We are faced with this s##t almost everyday, but we fight the good fight of NO Topping and walk from the jobs that want us to. Im still laughing when I think about that rigging.

Lolz, I think theres a thread floating around somewhere with pictures like this. I remember seeing one where the guy has setup full on scaffolding to take down his tree.
