Did not do tree today,but did recieve free breakfast.

Woke up to 80 degree humidity. Pruned 21 coconut palms in 25 mph winds on the ocean, man what a ride. If i close my eyes right now It feels like I'm still swinging. Good day of work. 21 isn't alot, but I had to remove fruit one by one and toss to a safe area to prevent damage to landscape and hardscape. anyway, that was my day.

newguy18 · 21st August 2007, 03:44 PM

Just another day in paradise.

Seriously that roof is a train wreck guys. Oh well Eric my crew leader is about to lose his job since Ray hired his son on the crew.At least Henry id a good guy.I also got some side work lined up some large water oaks in power and over structres in steinhatchee for one of the ladies in the office and her husband.I'll have details after I give them an estimate and some land clearing for Charlie the guy who shows the trailers.
