Can't just let the stuff fall on a house.

Back in about 2000, we built a house, and when it was done started on the pool. There were three big Elm trees in the back where the pool was going that had to come out. The pool company said, "We got this." I said, "Don't let those trees fall on the house."

Later that day, I got a call from the wife. Two things happened that day. You know the first. The second was that the guy taking down the trees ran over my then 2 year old son's ball and popped it. Not sure which one caused more tears.
