"Perfect customers!"

[Graham]

A job for a couple who'd had a protracted court case to get eighty 60' Leylandii removed. Cost them 20k in costs. My mate and I did them after finishing our contract work at 6pm one summer evening. I felled the middle one out onto their neighbour's lawn and then we both felled moving out to each end. Ended up with the most enormous, tangled pile ever:001_smile:

 

We then sat in the client's garden admiring the new view over the gorge popping champagne corks. Straight to my head it went and ran the truck into the back of a car on the way home.

Yes, all these kind folk make it worth the work and it is so easy to be pleasant eh?

I'm lucky that what few customers that I now have are all lovely!

Continuing the alcohol theme. We were taking a Lombardy down for a chap. He was very impressed and brought us a bottle of his birch wine at breakfast. We drank it with our snap:001_smile: Needless to say the job went a little awry with much laughing and swinging about with the 020!

 

This was the Levi's for climbing era though.

 

Another time we were pruning trees for a private school. They overhung a fence and the other side of the fence was a huge rambling veg plot. There was a shed where a chap who looked like Wurzel Gummidge lived.

 

A lovely recluse who made his own cider and wanted the logs. Swaps were done and as it was a hot summer's day we drank it. Like the above it went awry and I don't think the fence ever looked the same. Wurzel didn't mind and we made it home.

I've always been of the opinion that if a client offers you alcohol then it's rude not to drink it:biggrin:

Can't beat a bit of drinking on the job! I remember a few summers ago- nice hot sunny weather and we were putting up a stock fence far out of public eye on the moors. Out came the fosters, we were camping on the job too . Happy days!

June last year i had a root pulling job at a lovely indian couples house got there at 8 and started work on removing two oak roots and a lime root. At 9.30 had a pone call from the husband to say his wife and mother in law were making lunch at 12. I was expecting a sandwich and a coffee. 12 o clock come and the wife came out set the garden table for me and my two staff and treated us to a home cooked curry. The only problem was there was no meat in the food but it was still good food.

 

 

Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.

An old dear once brought some 'coffees' for us, but appeared to have got the instant coffee mixed up with her bisto granules. Bleugh!
