What's your starter for ten then??

Underpriced a massive conifer.. Had to lower nearly all of it. Ended up working for a pittance.

 

Took out an asbestos garage roof once, had to replace the lot.

Hawthorn hedge reduction while back,still got bits of thorns in my hands.Had thorns in my ears,hands and arms...bloody awful

Conifer dismantle in a garden ankle deep in dog ****! Got paid well for that one but still not sure it was worth it, the smell lingers in my memory!

How about an extended rainstorm, triggering a landslide, on a hillside, with a condominium complex below it, at 1:00 am?

 

My job was to remove the 85 foot pine in the middle of the slide, comin down the hillside real slow.

 

Even with a long reach 120 ton crane, the tree had to be taken in two picks, meaning I'd have to stay with the remaining pick as it slid down the hill.

 

Fortunately the CO was a cool icy pro, the power n phone company crews had the night lit up like high noon, and the job went smoothly.

 

The key being the CO spooling in as the entire mass got closer to the crane.

 

Being on emergency call for PacTel is probably one of the most challenging jobs in this biz.

Rain or shine it's your azz on the line!

Pressing two buttons all day every day on a production line in a factory.

 

Or worse still being Richard Dawkins' Butler

Retail or my very first job self employed lol. Topping Leyland hedge and trying to cram a good 6 wheel tipper load of brash into a Peugeot 309 lol. What a dumbass!

Dropping 1,000s upon 1,000's of cookies (the right way up) into the bottom of little plastic pots travelling along a conveyor belt and on to the next person in line who pressed a button to squirt some custard /jelly like substance.

 

In comparison people in arbwork have nothing to complain about, regardless of anything!

 

cheers, Steve
