4. Approach and attitude, right.

Yes, it took six years of virtually getting down on my knees and begging them to take down a junk tree that they had been laterally trimming for umpty-ump years until it had only five branches on one side and two on the other. Finally they did it (after six years of pleading). They did haul away the small branches, but after three years, the sawed up trunk still remains, rotting, where it fell.

Good sense is not part of their protocol.
