Hey.
My name is Will, and I am just a college boy with a chainsaw (scary
thought huh?). For extra cash here and there, I trim trees, or
completely cut down dead ones. I have done this here and there for about
2 or 3 years now. If you are interested, send me an email. Together with
a buddy, we have done several landscaping projects as well.

Pretty much, any odd-job that you can come up with, we would be pretty
happy to do. Tell me what you think.

I think people who hire you take their chances. I assume you are not
insured or trained in proper tree care.

Besides the obvious potential for loss of life, limb (no pun intended)
and property, poorly pruned trees often are damaged to the point they
cannot recover. If anyone is considering hiring Will for tree work, I
urge you to at least ask for references so you can confirm he isn't,
for example, topping trees (a common practice among non-professionals
and a widely scorned practice among those of us who have spent years
studying the effects of our work after the fact). The dollars you
save now could be lost in the form of decreased property value when
the tree has to be removed later.

But good luck, Will, in finding odd jobs that don't carry the high
stakes of tree work. I was a starving college student myself once.
