Absolutely, because we have went in after some joe blow off the street cut a tree and de-limbed some and had to completely redo everything because he made unhealthy cuts to the limbs. And didn’t cut the tree properly when removing it.

A buddy of mine went to installing garage doors so he can pick up all the side work he can because working around power lines is dangerous and we are definitely shorted on pay for risking our life every day. Our cdl drivers are seriously underpaid as well
