Next thing I know he'll end up living in the other trailer I've got here.

At least this is the perfect jumping-off point for taking a vacation....

Not far from the Ocean, the Mountains, the Deserts, and pretty much everything in between. An hour in any direction will take you somewhere you'd like to be.

I'll call Lowes and have them put in an extra order, just lemme know when you'll be here.


Figured out where you're gonna LIVE after you arrive in our beautifull state?

Ya might find that trying to build up a customer base from scratch to be a bit daunting there also. Is Jerry gonna help ya out?

Unhappy Re: Why are you in the tree business?


i thought that was a neat pic. so much woods to explore out here. the only complaint i have is the garbage everywhere. if its got a parking area its got garbage. ive been hitting the spots without easy parking.

Well I kinda Fell into it HA HA.
No serious now, I went from gardening for laydies and weeding beds for a long time and kept going bigger and bigger. So now Im into trees, just wish there was enought out here for full time.
But I must say that once it is in your blood, the smell of chip in the morning, a new chalange at every site with different obsticals, the high level of stress, I couldnt imagine doing anything else.

I hope to open up a business within a the next few years, im in it for the trees and outdoors, nothing more exillerating then climbing a tree. Gotta learn more about the tree health bits @ TAFE first. My groundie on the other hand, wants to get in with all the hacks and do topping and lopping coz the people with half a brain know what it does to the tree and stay away from those jobs.
