I do property maintenance with my husband for a living.We do mostly grass.The weeding jobs and shrubs/hedges etc. on Fridays only.I might be offered job by city.The job is pruning trees from the ground only with long gas powered pruning saw.He said I would be pruning lines of trees approx 10 feet apart that line the city streets all day one after another, maintain them and throwing the branches in a chipper.
He said it is hard work.I am leaning towards not taking it because we hate Fridays because that is when we do hedges all day.We have a long trimmer on a stick and both of our shoulders ache.We know this is part of our job and do this for customers but both of us prefer grass cutting with radio head phones.
Has anyone ever done similiar job am applying for and liked it or is it achy like I said.Please be honest.My husband got a hold of guy doing the job and he said take it it's not that hard.
We will be giving up customers if I take the job and then if I hate it and quit will be in bine(sp).
thanks,
christine
