Garden/yard tidy up TOO BIG I NEARLY WALK

[@robsmith4227]

I feel for you mate. Was in the same situation myself a couple of weeks ago. Vastly underestimated and therefore under quoted. Allowed two days but ended up taking four! I was prepared to take it on the chin, but the customer insisted on paying extra. I was really touched and humbled ☺️

[@LHLgardenservices]

Same here..Good customer makes all the difference 👍try and watch episode 2 tomorrow bit of an explanation on why I wanted to walk 👍

[@lemmy9996]

Love your honesty Lee. You took the blame for not checking the job out properly before quoting and its rare to see people do that. Kudos to the customer though for whacking some extra cash on top! And to cap it all this is a great video for future customers to see your work ethic! Keep it up fella!!

[@LHLgardenservices]

Don’t do any tree reductions or tree works better off getting friendly with a fully qualified tree surgeon and just take a cut of the job for doing nothing. Gardening is all I do, well done Lee for getting it done and we all learn from our mistakes! Take care

So much work for one man, all that climbing up and down too to keep your working space clear. Customer will have so much more sky when you've finished. Extra work as well with the saw out of action. I bet you gave the gym a miss that night!

Good work Lee. Been in that situation many times in the past. I understand the feelings you get when you under quote. It's not nice!Not often a customer will offer you more. I'm glad the customer was easy for you to deal with. I personally now leave them jobs for the tree surgeon's or do in the winter when I'm less busy. Satisfying though when you have finished.

[@LHLgardenservices]

You’re into tree surgeon territory there. It’s a big job to take on on your own.

[@LHLgardenservices]

Yep 🌳

[@bobbelsekwol]

I think we've all been there. "That won't take long. I'll leave a full day just in case I meet some unexpected problem". Meanwhile two days later with no problems, still struggling.

[@LHLgardenservices]

🤣🤣...planned 3 days.....7 days later 🙈🙈

[@Biggs58]

Look grand it the half way point of this video. I was thinking if it was possible to get the chipper up on the top of the wall. So far you have moved the cuttings twice with possible one or more to the chipper then haul the chips off. Thinking the chipper on the top would be mulch up there.

[@LHLgardenservices]

Yep there was a lot of double handling 😩😩..I would have loved to put the chipper up on the ledge but it is FAR too heavy 👍

[@jasonhewlett1283]

A tough job to do on your own Lee , another pair of hands just to shift and chip the waste would have been a bonus. Looking forward to part 2.
