editing to answer hikatz's edit:
I absolutely respect that you are speaking well from your experience, hikatz, and honestly I'm glad that there's someone to speak for him, because I don't like particularly talking about someone who isn't present to give his side. [
]
I should clarify that I can't say he absolutely did a great job with the trees, because he only cut them. He quit and left slash all over the place. He also said the way he planned to deal with the ferns was to pull them out and not cut them. He made a big deal about his method.
Then he did cut them and left it all uneven stumps.
He left me at least a day or two of work just cleaning up the mess he made.
Also, by taking the rope away that he had strung, he made it impossible to negotiate the steep slippery trail without falling, and we have to redo the rope in order to begin to deal with the mess he left, retrieving the materials, etc..
What he did here was BAD, let me be clear.
What he had the ABILITY to do -- I believe he could have done a good clearing job, but instead he just hacked and hewed and it was total slop.
He also left his underwear hanging on a tree down by the stream ... like a flag.
Not sure what that was about. [:p]
Lastly, I had enough other stuff to talk about, but I do wish people wouldn't show up with a dog at a site without asking. They tied the dog up where I had to go past it to talk to Troy, and it jumped on me, and barked ... and I really don't care for that. I was traumatized by dogs when I was a kid.
Also it traumatized my cats to have a dog show up on the property.
I think a person should ask and not assume before showing up with a dog and planning to tie it up while they work at someone's house.
