I have faith in myself and my family and my religion. I do the best I can everyday for myself and treat people the way I like to be treated. It is a way of life for me and keeps me sane for the most part. I understand that there are other folks in the world that don't even know me but would be happy to have my life ended due to my belief and faith. I can understand that but will never except it. No one said that life on this planet would be easy, "no pun intended" but I believe were all here to do the best job we can and make each day a little better for our self's and our fellow man/women. At least that is my plan, and I am sticking to it. easy-lift guy

Thank you for your service. easy-lift guy

Roman Catholic. Not always proud of everything my faith has accomplished but, I was born and raised and will die a Catholic. Good thread. easy-lift guy

establish an operating budget, and know your competition and what they charge for their product. Set reasonable goals as far as where you want to be in year 1 and 3 and 5 and always adjust as needed base on market conditions and operating cost. Don't be greedy and grow slowly and provide the best customer service you can, always treat your customers as you wish to be treated, otherwise don't go into business for your self. You work for yourself so don't make/take business decisions personally, it usually turns around and bites you in the butt. easy-lift guy

As long as public industry continues to be allowed to undercut private industry for work the complete death of Capitalism and Free enterprise is not far away. We can not have it both ways folks and if the private industry thinks that is the way it is because it has been, you may want to pack it in now and work for the public sector. Otherwise work against this pox, your very way of live may depend upon it. don't give up. easy-lift guy

I have read over this entire thread and was expecting a joke somewhere to appear, sadly I have not:sneaky2: IMO using tax payer funded employees with operating cost and overhead completely subsidized by the tax payers to compete against private industry for the sake of having work for said employees is INSANE. I am not aware of such a situation here State side and I believe the locals would have none of it. We pay more than enough in taxes for services rendered by our local, City, County, State, or Federal government's. It is not possible for private industry to compete with or against public industry since the cards are completely stacked against private industry for the reasons all ready stated. At least over here it is vary hard to get public industry to do much of anything pro active in regards to maintenance without letting them know, and when they do try and pretend to be professional like some folks in the private industry, the results are usually bad or worse. . I believe public industry should stick with serving the needs of the public and leave the private sector alone to do their jobs as well. Unless there is a even playing field which i believe does not exist based on the replies to this thread it is a lose lose for all concerned, esp. the tax payers, Big time!!!! easy-lift guy

You shall become one of the converted by trying the ELH not to be confused with the easy-lift:confused1:. Being a ground dweller has it's up's and downs. Glad things and the weather is well for you in France. easy-lift guy

Greetings and Welcome Mr. Shaker, How are things in France? easy-lift guy

You are professional and I believe you work for yourself, that said here in the States I would only guarantee a landscape for 30 days against loss, excluding acts of god. More times than not I would provide a year guarantee if the customer secured my maintenance service. Since we have a year round growing season usually on average I never lost more than 2% for any landscape I ever installed. Don't worry about this person willing to talk to her friends about the work you have done Two years ago easy-lift guy

Good job, did the camcorder have a zoom in feature or was that as close as you could get? easy-lift guy

It appears that nepia has broken Steve's Code name "cleaning lady":sneaky2:, Looks like I will have to contact SOE for a new name for Steve. Have a nice weekend Steve. easy-lift guy

Interesting video, I would have to have 200% faith in all of my gear for me to give that a try!, with out an ELH on of course. easy-lift guy

I think someone tripped over the plug strip which also controlled the lighting in the chat room and that was it, until the cleaning lady showed up and sorted everything out. easy-lift guy

I enjoyed a great dinner at home with my Kim, and a card. My Kim received a nice card and an IPAD. I think she is still recovering from the shock of the IPAD, confidence is high she will make a full recovery. easy-lift guy

Just some videos of treework I did last October. Wanted to post for a few friends who haven't seen it.

Good for you sir. easy-lift guy

I think he did have a safety harness on just not attached to anything else other than himself. Guess he did not need it after all, if he is still alive? easy-lift guy
