If you have ever had a large tree hanging over your house, you understand that it can be pretty concerning. If that tree were to fall, it would have terrible consequences to your house and possibly to your family.

I certainly did not wish to get into an “I am right and you are wrong” discussion with you, so I will leave it as it is.
I do hope you have a wonderful Christmas season!
