  1. Sounds like the Client got just what they payed for. Maybe they will learn from this what you all ready know. I believe your pricing strategy of going low with your bids may have a chance to bite you in the arse if your not careful. Other pricing suggestions posted here maybe in combination will better fine tune future bids. Remember "Like trees some clients need more training than others". Good Hunting. elg
  2. tommer9 don't feel to bad or surprised. Since my first published thread on ArbTalk I have had 25 replies and 707 views. Members will make what they please about anything posted. Like Steve said it takes time. elg
  3. Usually here in the states in a residential neighborhood loud noise or equipment work ends around 9:00 PM. You acted properly by asking the neighbor how much longer they would be working and even though they did stop later than they said they would the point is they did stop. If it had been any later I would have had another visit by the time One hour had passed, "unarmed" and ask again when they thought they would be done. If they told you to do something that you would not normally do to your self I would have than contacted the police. There is only so much you can do untill the police become involved, researching any noise ordinance in advance of calling the police just so you are prepared for a visit would also help defuse the situation a great deal. Good Hunting. elg
  4. Rupe we are obliged to wear proper wear, other than stupid videos appearing on YouTube showing DIY red neck and the like showing what can happen to a "genetics gone wild". segment of the population. I guess we are better for working in the heat since it is with us most of the year. FYI We to have sudden changes in the weather from Spring to Summer and Fall to winter, We don't really have an Autum due to bad behavior. Florida joke. Stay Cool. elg
  5. So let me see if I can figure out this hot weather thing?, I would kill nearly anyone for a working temp. of 30 C all summer long. When I wake up in the Morning it can already be 30 C and it feels fine by me when it get's to be 35 to 38 C than it is starting to get warm. As long as we pace ourselfs we can still work the balance of the day. Stay cool, we do! elg
  6. Here in the states it varies. Check with your local goverment regarding any noise laws. I can say for comericial locations no after hours restrictions for home owner locations a whole nother can of worms! elg
  7. It is not a matter of which sex to employ the real and only question is who do I employ to get the work done to make myself money. Male or Female it does not and should not matter. As long as they can keep up with me that will be my standard. If they can do more work better or faster than their pay matches their skill/ability. Don't get caught up with all the touchy feelly questions, it is a waste of time and money. Remember you work for yourself and any one else works for you. Good Hunting. elg
  8. Thanks for that explanation TCD It is always nice to keep up with current information about the cast from the industry. elg
  9. Nice thinning, pictures are as well. Really did like the Hippy Bull! elg
  10. All the best down under Ewen. elg
  11. I wonder if the owner will make the investment in a chain,padlock or tool locker while he is out shopping for replacement kit?. Stay safe. elg
  12. Here in the states various means of payment previously described already exist. IMO I do not beleieve the the day of the check is soon over or even cash mainly due to tech.not being able to have a plan B when a terminal go's down and stores would not be able to complete ones transaction. Usually if my clients know my fee for services in advance they ask for my terms and when the job is done I get paid. My clients know that up front and it is also printed on my job est. and work orders. If anyone tries any funny business I refer them to Guido in collections and he arranges a meeting with my gator named Frank. elg
  13. Greeting's Finky,Rona: I wish I had a biscut for you Rona!, my what clean white teeth for biting the perp who tries to steal my masters Kit. All the best. elg
  14. Not that I am aware of, I will have to get back to you on that one. elg
  15. I do not believe your bitter more so frustrated. I am still of the belief that there are more of us ready willing and able to continue as an organization to stop and prevent these thieves. " Never give In", Never,Never,Never. WSC. elg
  16. Your insurance will only be as good as the number of claims you have against your policy. Sooner rather than later your policy will become so expensive you will either not be able to afford it or your policy will not be reissued with any carrier. I do not believe it to be an emotional issue when it comes to protecting ones kit rather a matter of my property being stolen, it my property, not the theifs. Read the thread, it may and more than likely save your kit from the theifs in the first place! elg
  17. David, I sure would like to spend some time with you at the range!. Thanks elg
  18. Should of read my thread on means and methods of protecting you kit from theft. Completly preventable. Never leave anything for someone to steal. There are always people looking for an easy mark. Although it is a shame that your kit was stolen, out of hundreds of post of stolen kit I researched for my thread your post is not only not unique but very common. Read my thread and take the information to heart. elg
  19. Not to worry, from a pratical point of view this is not. Many variables yet to be overcome mainley gravity. elg
  20. Another unfortunate and completely preventable theft of Kit. Might I suggest reading my thread on means and methods of protecting your Kit from theft. This go's for all members who can't beleive how fast the theifs are. elg
  21. Just read the report, did not know Adam. May God rest his soul and comfort this family in their time of need. elg
  22. looks like extensive soil compaction, maybe some minor borer damage to trunk. These trees are really tough other than a lighting strike or serious damage to root system could kill one of these bad boys off. I have one growing next door tomy home and the Bald eagles and Great Horned Owls love the height. elg
  23. I believe it may be for Census purposes, esp. with the L/L. elg
  24. nearly looks like the fish eagles we have here, nice easy-lift guy
  25. She got my vote from the other side of the pond. I hope she wins! elg
