Who in the world would not rather do this instead of working? I love fishing and boating of course, Work however is my passion. It isnt just the work, it's the process, of taking a project from start to finish. There are so many variables that can occur if one isnt a decent negotiator, I love the negotiating process. I happen to know plants as well if not better than most, I know that if you can make the client understand that good soil condition, Quality plants and quality mulch are important, you are virtually assured success. Having said all of that, I executed a design yesterday and it was fabulous. Before my Cancer, I would hit the job site and was capable of out working any laborer I had highered. In line with those established perameters and I know I set the bar very high.it was not uncommon to find me on hands and knees, crawling through the beds cleaning and trimming. I could could in the past clean and plant and mulch a bed in no time at all. Yesterday everything was different, while my approach to completing the project had dramaticly changed, I think the importance of my presence had not. The clients we serviced yesterday were very involved in the Landscape and the project it'self, I had some trepidation as to the level of their emotional involvement, for the most part they were helpful ,non combative and ,the project All in all was enhanced by their their involvement. That isnt always so and I will usually do all I can to keep a client aways from the work area. I was certainly throughly spent after yesterday and slept like a Baby, I slept until 6:00 tpfay, since the surgery thats the record.
