Good Morning Texicans. Waiting on the last tree trimming contactor to show up and submit his bid. This stuff is crazy. I have 3 big ass ash trees that need to dead branches from the freeze removed. First guy said job too big and passed. Second Guy said $7500, then dropped to $6500 if I commit today, then down to $5000 when I told him waiting on more bids. (he will not get the job as I told all I want your best price, no dicking around) Third guy was $2500, fourth guy was 2 days at $5000 per day (Just Wow). So far the 3rd guy is in the lead. I would have thought the bids would be closer together, but this is all over the map.

Hit him with $1500 cash money.

I need a Roomba mower.

It's pretty ironic that the Pfizer vaccine is FDA approved after the last 3 months of trying to force the jab on the population. Just a coincidence that Fauci's wife is the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases....... hmmmmm

Sounds about like what I have dealt with every time I have had to have tree work done. It’s a massive pain in the ass. Everyone quotes different, had one guy quote in the middle, seemed the most legit gave him the work. Day he was supposed to start just disappeared never to be heard from again.

Hopefully this will not occur. I used Home advisor to get names. So far all have been reputable. The only downside is now I get daily follow up emails from home Advisor. But all of the contractors are legit and have insurance.

It’s a whiskey night. A day full of incompetent drivers and trailer tires blowing up sending gravel and debris my direction.

When I've needed trees removed, I've simply waited till someone else on the block was getting work done. Then, after the guy in the tie with the clipboard has left and the actual crew is onsite, I approach the leader and, while it's a struggle to get through the language barrier, I offer him about $200 per crew member and an extra hundred for him.

You'd be surprised how often the crew doing the actual work can kick into high gear, finish their job a couple of hours early, then take care of my job, all by normal quittin' time.

Sex sells, and cash commands. Funny how that works.

Afternoon Y'all.......Chaotic night and morning! Wife and I both had doctor's appointments today. Hopefully back to normal for a little while anyways! Updated on out prescriptions again too.

I really need some coffee! A bit warmish out there today for a typical August summer day. We are suppose to be in the mid 90's this week, with a heat index hitting the mid 100's as well.

Depending on what type of tree it is, how tall, and what dangers exist for where to drop the tree can impact the price quite a bit.

I had a huge red oak tree that had died some years ago, about 4' in diameter at the base, and about 60' tall. Had some guys that were cutting dead trees on my place for firewood cut down the tree and dropped it for me. Since the tree was leaning towards the house, they had to tie it off with several chains and binders to get it to drop away from the house. I had to sacrifice a really beautiful cedar tree and elm tree because of where and how it dropped, but small price to keep it from falling on the house.
