Cabling that old oak was supposed to prevent failure, but it snapped in a storm last week.

I followed the common advice, but it just hid the decay until the tree came down.

Didn't we all think cabling was the safe choice, just postponing the problem instead of fixing it?

Bet it's not that bad.

Ever think about how often you'd need to upgrade the cables too? I mean, it feels like a never-ending cycle.

Tell me about it.
