I guess you've made your money and are going to retire now, Steve?

quite a heavy reduction, approx 6m

nice job, looks as good as it gets to me, and worth it for the customer, none of this 1.5m nonsense, may as well pay someone to go up there and dust it

That grapple saw looks like it will be a big help making some of the dodgy cuts for you.

Yea it is a great thing on this storm work and what a money maker it is

So what’s the plan? 

 

Have I missed something in the ‘what’s your exit strategy?’ thread?

Playing it by ear really, but hoping to start knocking out some websites for arborists and see how it goes.

Just Aborists, or will your services be available to the great unwashed?

[Steve Bullman]

Well arb is what I know, so of course thats where i'll be marketing my services towards, but I will take on anything naturally.

Still considering being a rent boy?

Been bowling over some 100ft poplars this week, quite a treat to get these in my last days.  Had to knock this stoggle over today, was only one way it go really go and the customer was aware that there was a pretty good chance it would trash his log store.  I was hoping to avoid it all the same as I like a challenge.  

There was no hope though.  Gobbled it away from the store with what little leeway I had, put a winch on it and left a thick hinge one side to hopefully hold it.  The whole trunk was riddled with ganoderma all the way, It was far too far gone inside to have any decent holding wood unfortunately, but we kinda knew that

 

its ok though because I left a note
