I need your help to be a good dad. Are you really turning your back on me? I was feeling proud of all my hard work until you came along and shit all over it.

I don't know if I'll ever recover.

The power gain would be negated by the weight of the 480v generator you would need to tow around.

We have a 50Ft+ Oak tree that is just impossible for me to attempt to cut branches as high as they are. I needs a JLG Lift, and someone experienced enough to maneuver between the power lines and the house, the tree is dangerously close to the house, the house to power lines, if you get where I am going with this. Is about 6 ft away from the front door.
i see. definitely reach out to some tree companies. if nothing else, it's best to let someone else take on the liability!

ask at the local ma-n-pop paint stores for painter recommendations. they'll have an established relationship with a number of companies that should be able to best suggest someone.

ask around first. friends, neighbors, acquaintances. i know more crummy hvac companies than quality places. unfortunately. typically once you start asking around, you'll narrow down to only 3-4 companies that sound like someone you'd be willing to unlock the front door for anyways
