Reminds me of a lad who used to subby a bit to me as he was setting himself up to go full time on his own - he wasn’t the best climber (but was a really decent likeable fella). 
Another subby ended up working for both of us and overheard him talking to a prospective new customers when quoting a (not very difficult) dismantle. His price included the caveat ‘Expect some damage’ said with a totally straight face 😂😂😂!

It became a bit of an in-joke when quoting awkward jobs - he was deadly serious though! 

 

Joking aside Dan I’m always really honest about lawn damage.

When the difference between ‘none’ and ‘a few dents’ comes in at £1k we’re usually pretty good either way.

He wasn’t talking about the lawn….

No lawn for me to damage today, I just had to aim in really carefully straight in the back of the hilux...

MEWP bender.

I know, sorry. 

Don't worry, there's one stem out the back I couldn't reach with the machine, so I threw a rope up into it to climb first thing tomorrow morning. For anyone walking by tomorrow, it'll look like I did the whole job climbing!

Shameless.

Remember the MEME with the squirrel with his balls caught in the fence?

 

 It can happen to the best of us!

Only broke two windscreens and one wing mirror today, too! Result.

Topping about a dozen cypress in the morning, dropping a couple of big fat sycamore with a digger in the afternoon. One reduced then pushed, one just climbed to put a strap in as high as needed to pull it over. Tall stumps, metal everywhere. Not a twig or a leaf to clean up, the fella with the digger is doing it himself. Driving away at 1600, the Christmas holidays have now started.
