I thought the gob was too small the hinge was ok for the size of the tree but he was boreing too much towards rear so it was always going to barber, he should have removed the saw and dog toothed from the back but hey ho like others have said easy to say after watching it go wrong.

If they can afford the cheap option and then your expensive option they are not cheap skates they are mis informed or have a lack of knowledge in the tree game. It is up to you to justify the work you will carry out for the price you are asking. By refusing to go back to tidy someone's mess up out of spite rather than for a good wage is only reaffirming why they didn't use you in the 1st place. You may be hands down better at the job than the cowboys however the cowboys sales pitch is on the money, like previously stated they also charge top dollar in most instances.

Money is money at the end of the day and if you put a price in that reflects the job in hand I couldn't care if I was the 5th firm in. I'm a mercanary![emoji857] Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

I have thinned crown lifted and dead wooded 4 silver birch today on the back of someone's poor practise. Was going to take pics but it was chucking it down when we arrived so the phone stayed in the van. Owners haven't been in the house long and the work was done before they moved in, the job spec was can you make the trees look as natural as possible no topping no large limb removals other than where needed due to previous work. It was a joy of a job to be honest made a nice change from take downs reductions or topping. Slippy as hell with no spikes though! Sent from my iPhone using Arbtalk

Yes it stinks that your house goes BUT you or your family pick your care home, you can base it off cost, area, cqc reports level of staff whatever... if it's £1000 a week it doesn't matter if you end up in credit from house sale because you live too long it doesn't matter government take over the payments you stay in same home. If you do not have a pot to piss in then the government pay from the off but you go into a care home based on places available and cheapest cost possible so you end up somewhere that stinks of p!ss that is understaffed. As to contributing to employer pensions you now know that cost is there and can not be avoided so you could always cost it in in the future by lowering salary offered by 3%. 3% of £20,000 is 1 half decent tree take down.

iPhones have the health app built in click on it press next fill in your medical ID then when your phone is locked press the home button, emergency, medical ID and you have the same info as that ICE app. It's a great idea that hopefully you'll never need to use, I'd post pics but I'd rather not advertise the wife's phone number haha!
