Angry Freaking Jacka$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can't FIND good service these days.

I hired a tree guy to cut and haul a 60 foot pecan tree from my backyard.
Tired of all the crap falling into the pool and now I have my car that it drippes stuff on. Can't have that right? So this guy quotes me 1000.00 to take the tree away. Cool. With the pool and driveway and fence and house around the tree, I need someone who knows what their doing.
OHHHHHHH he knew how to drop it but that's all he did.

We agreed to 300.00 up front and 700.00 when the tree was gone. He then comes back and says he needs 200.00 more dollars. Name:  huh.gif

Well Bonnie just looked at the tree and figured more than half of the tree has been cut down so that must be half done.

Anyway, this Jackass has the audacity to knock on my door asking for MORE money. To witch I calmly reply. "You got 500.00 for 2 hrs worth of work, you're not getting another dime until the tree is GONE".

Fair enough. Well he calls me later in that same day and says his tranny is out and needs, get this, 100.00 to get it fixed. Name:  huh.gif

I'M DONE. YOUR FIRED.

So basicaly this jackass only did maybe 250.00 worth of work. He F***ed me out of 250.00 and now I got to finish this shit. I spent about 6 hrs yesterday, after leaving work early, to go home and start cutting and piling this crap. Had to come back to work to finish up the books for the day. Now I gotta go home early today and try to finish this crap.

I don't have time for this. But have no choice. We have about 20 people coming to the house for a BBQ/Swim Party and I told this SOB that.

Should have just called a regular tree service and paid the extra bank.

He just finished cutting and hauling an oak tree for my best freind Steve.
Steve is an Alabama State Trooper and though it took the tree guy a while he got Steves tree hauled off.

I have got it cleared and stacked and cut up. I'll need to have someone come and finish cutting the tree down and haul it.

Anyone can come to our parties.

That always sucks. When someone does work for your friend and when you hire them...they suck!

Is the party tomorrow?

Wow... well i can totally relate. we had to cut down our tree so we called a local company and they told us that it would take $1000.00 (just like you). We didnt want to pay that much so we got some one to do it for $200.00. A week later the guy we hired for 200 drops the tree on the power lines. He finished the tree but we had to pay $900.00 something bucks to fix the lines... i could of saved 100 bucks!!! oh well.. hope u clean it up pretty soon.
