Damaged limb advice

[skyhuck]

This job, he was going to do it last Sunday (for a stupidly low price) but when he went to do it they said if he damaged the grass he had would have make good. So he said "forget it".

 

I'm only saying what he told me.

Some customers need more training than others, cheap is cheap any where you go. If you really need the work that is one thing but if cheapo keeps adding on or applying restrictions say thanks and walk away, I would and have.

large wound close to stem?

 

cut to a stub just below crack:001_smile:

 

surprised at you Hama,why not cut to just outside the hazard beam and finish it off with a coro? two habitat creation opportunities for the price of one. Monkey D and Neville Fay would be very disappointed in you

[scotspine1]

that old limb loss should have told your client it needed a reduction before this hazard beam occured!

 

good point Hama, well spotted on that one, only people who've worked with trees for a long time would recognise the history.

you know him then lol, he's a strange one i must admit.......

 

not keen on working for him but work is work.......

 

have you been asked to look or just know him?

 

No its not, don't do it for cheap, let it fall and brign the lines down.

 

The job looks like good fun, but you need either a nice client or good money to make 2 out of 3. If you have neither of them and its a 1 out of 3 job then don't do it.

 

If all he wants is cheap then let him get cheap and he wont pay them. By the very sound of it from the start, i.e you need to do it this weekend, its not a proper job worth doing.

Go and do it and learn the same way we all did, you can start numerous threads next week regarding non payment, insurance claims, and turfing.

That is an option, but in this scenario I suspect the contractor would be going beyond the call of (price) duty:001_rolleyes:

these people dont deserve trees,

Thats exactly how I feel with some clients, and if they don't deserve trees then they dont deserve us coming and working on them. By "us" I mean all decent tree workers, not just you and me Tony, other tree surgeons are available.
