Never learn!

[Old Mill Tree Care]

I was invited to quote for a tree removal recently.

 

Picture the scene:

Two Crack Willows, about 60ft tall leaning severly.

Ten feet from them there are power lines, under the leaning side.

 

Client says they started leaning after a storm and its been getting worse, hence the 50degrees lean angle today.

 

Both of the trunks have massive hazard beams in them.

 

I look at it and think easy days work from a MEWP.

 

Client then tells me that a few years ago he thought he'd have a go himself. When he cut the first branch off he was thrown off the ladder breaking his pelvis, both legs and suffered a brain injury. Now has a speach impediment and hasn't been able to work since!

 

He then baulks when I mention the MEWP and laughs when i mention my price. amazing.

Perhaps he's thinking of having another go:001_smile:

Just give him the option of getting up there himself...

Wow. Did he accept the offer, or does he want to have another go and end up like stephen hawking?

I don't think his intellect is in the same room as the Professor's

[Mark Bolam]

Although his mobility skills sound on a par.

 

Maybe the brain injury affected him more seriously than you could tell?

The more things change the more they stay the same.
