Rant: Permit delays for oak removal ate up my whole season

City hall dragged their feet for six weeks on a simple hazard tree okay. Missed the dry window and now I'm stuck with muddy jobs in the cold.

Did you have a backup plan for jobs when the permit got stuck, or did this really throw your whole schedule off? That six week wait @schmidt.hugo mentioned feels like they were just waiting for the weather to turn on purpose. I've had permits get lost in the system until it was too late to do the work right. Makes you wonder if calling a certain council member every single day is the only way to get a move on.

Six weeks?! I'd be sure they were waiting for the rain on purpose too.

Dragging feet is my middle name, but even I'm impressed by a six-week delay, lol.

Consider myself a pro at slow rolling.
