He charged $750
Asked how many he does per week
“Oh God, are you one of those morons who post about how easy it is to make six figures in the trades by assuming I’m fully booked and have zero costs? You know what, I’m actually going to charge you $1,750 for this job or I’ll just let the tree fall into your roof.”

I need to get into tree trimming!
