It's one I have to keep reminding myself of too. If I get fed up with a job it has a knock on effect for the other lads on the team.

 

Good to meet you too mate, gutted I couldn't spend the weekend down there, but my missus and I picked up the keys to our new place today.

 

I don't think I'd have been able to make up for missing that.

Don't scoop up the final sweepings of the day and chuck them through the chipper!

[JonB88]

Make sure you have sufficient amounts of lubricant in your day sack. No boss wants to chafe!

Even though I believe we have exceeded initial 10, a wee note to new groundsmen: The term "groundsman" does NOT mean that you look at the ground you stand on, look at the climber and at what and where he/she is cutting!

It makes the climber a much happier person when he doesn't have to constantly look after the groundsman....

I like that one ArborClimber ,

[Marc Lewis]

Send gear and ropes to the climber using a recommended knot.

[AlexB]

Bring your lunch and fluids!

If you drop something out of the tree, (unintentionally), ask yourself why. Also, think of the consequences if....

A branch or a chog smashing a greenhouse, fence or bouncing across the tarmacadam might cost the company a bit. If it hits someone, it'll cost a bit more.

 

Concentrate and be aware.

when on the ground try and be constantly busy , even if theres not much happening, always try and tidy, pack up gear, get out gear ready, talk to client etc, every little helps to get done and home
