    Easy pickins Brad. When will you be taking that one down? :whistle:

    btw, I don't remember if I posted it or not but I did get those other trees from the neighbor. They did start to hint about the popples needing to come out at some time...

    Power lines don't look like much problem. The shed and fence might pay dearly but he didn't mention messing those up. Go get it Barcroftb

    Haha you guys are too much.:rofl: :lol: I used to do this for a living. My only problem is I'm 99% sure a tree service or 3 gave them a quote they didn't like. If I'm feeling frisky I may give them a call and tell them I'll do the job for a grand. :makeitrain" That's usually good for a laugh at the least. Sometimes it's good for a side hustle or two.

    Some of them that really get me though are the ones where they want you to come cull some trees out of their woods and pay for the wood you haul out, on top of doing all the work, freakin nuts :wacky::loco: :crazy:

    Make sure you rake all the wood chips up too, and maybe mow the grass for them while you are at it.

    This all sounds very familiar.:headbang:

    I will usually do easy drops for free if I can have the firewood and they clean up the brush. Or they can pay me the price of chipper rental and my time. Usually 150-250 depending on tree. It always amazes me that most people end up going the full clean up rout. Anymore I rarely do anything but easy drops.

    For divots I put a few 4'x8' livestock floor mats down. Nearly no divots that way. Unless I miss the mats:picard:
