Help Wanted

We, Ken and Genny Redman, just wanted to let you all know that we have taken off our Real Estate listing for our home on Thetis Island. We do love Thetis, but we have a very challenging property that we find very hard to work on. And of course, we are fed up with the ferry but so is everyone else. So, we are going to continue to get our home ready to sell. We will be getting rid of things that we do not need. However, we might never move from here, :-)))

We would like to hire workers for $25.00 an hour. So, if you are interested in some work, please let us know. Please contact us by email : kenredman10@gmail.com or call us at 250-210-3087 by phone or text.

Woody's Hungry!

**Again**

**Branches, Branches, Branches**

Wondering what to do with that pile of branches? Frustrated with aligning your schedule and the venting index? Looking for a little midday Work Out instead of a Smoke Out! 

Maybe Woody, the trailer mounted Woodchipper is your Answer. He's ready and available to serve Thetis Island. Woody is a 49Hp industrial woodchipper, hungry for wood up to 12" diameter.

In approximately an hour, two feeders & Woody can handily convert an accessible, neatly stacked VW Bug sized branch pile into ground cover material. The more branch feeders you recruit to feed Woody the faster he'll chip up your branch pile(s). He is definitely "not" a polite diner, he enjoys filling his mouth with as many branches as his feeders can shovel in. No need to worry about feeding him too much, he will just pause his feed control give a little burp and chew on! See if you can make Woody burp!

Woody is too heavy to travel offroad into wet areas. The closer your branch piles are to access the less time Woody wastes waiting to be fed. Tangled piles add time to pull apart, Neat tidy piles feed Woody faster.  

For a Chipping good Time without the Frustration of When to Let the Smoke Out, 

First hour @ $150

Following time @ $125/hr 

Email Woody's swamper, Greg, thetiswoody@gmail.com
