I'm sorry, I misspoke.....

So maybe someone can explain something to me. Why do I continue to work and not get paid? I can make MORE money by not working.

What I don't have from Bartlett issue any more will be replaced in fairly short order and I'd be willing to do tree work on weekends when time allows. Just fair warning I have no access to chippers any more so I can get it on the ground but that's where it'll have to stay as far as my part of the deal goes.

That would be fine Pete. I have a little boy scout water and some matches that will take care of the non fireplace worthy.
It probably wont be till late Sept or Oct.

It appears that I was a bit sleep deprived. Got home around 3:30, laid down for a nap at 4:30, and just woke up. Now I probably won't sleep tonight...stupid.
