Pine Tree Removal - My First Job
This was my very first tree job, which took place in April 2019. I got the job by posting an ad on Craigslist (I still get a lot of jobs via craigslist). A pine tree on a property in Penfield had fallen down and they wanted the tree and brush removed. I rented a truck from U-Haul (it wasn't bad - $20/day but about $0.35/mile). Afterwards I started using my father's truck, eventually buying it from him.
​
As I wanted the work I way underestimated the job. Furthermore I found out afterwards that the Town of Penfield does accept trees/brush - but you need to have the property owner sign you in on-premise. This would have saved me a lot of headaches as I had many trailer loads of brush that I took to some property 30+ minutes away, and ended up taking all the heavier wood and splitting it for campfires. Live and Learn!

Tree before I started cutting away!
Cutting up tree easy - found quickly that the pickup is the most difficult
Used a U-Haul Rental for the first day. Afterwards used my father's truck and trailer.
All Done - I always ensure to do a great job picking up all small twigs/debris
