Is it just me and my work m8... or is this a little strange??

[button1803]

me and my work mate today were sent to raise an oak on a private job.

nothing different about it what soever, customer showed and explained what we wanted etc...

 

so far so good...

but then to me and my mates amazement, the customer said dont do the finishing cut because the chainsaw will '' tear '' the bark and the tree will not heal over, so the customer then said, leave approx 1 foot foot pegs, and he will do the finishing cut with his hand saw????

 

is it just me or is that a little bit different? after all, me and my mate being tree surgeons, what do we know about finishing cuts!!! lol...

 

but at least we got a cup of tea, 1 biscuit each and £2 tip each!!

Perhaps he is hanging his washing out lol, seriously tho there are some odd requests and if the customer is happy who are we to argue .

I work for loads of folk that know far more about trees than i ever will, i am just there to do the monkey work they can't do themselves. What did the customer do for a living?

The client obviously loves his tree,thats cool!

 

Makes a change from some clients!

nothing employment wise.. was at least 70years old.. so how he will do those finishing cuts on his own is beyound us!

That's why our industry will never progress because joe public think we are just dum tree cutters and don't respect what we do, thats why they think they can tell us how to do our job:sneaky2: sad but true.

If he manages to finish the cuts with ease, what will you think then?

[Mark Bolam]

Silky cuts do leave a better finish than an O2O.

 

Did he have very long arms?
