About maybe 3 weeks ago or so my cousins house suffered serious damage because of this extremely high winds, his upstairs front Window was shattered because of this tree branch that snapped off. I figured he would have to call some professionals even the wood around the window was banged up. He said he didn’t want to pay for a professional installation so he did the next best thing and call me. We installed it with relative ease. The real problem was trimming down the tree so hat wouldn’t happen again. With all the information available now amateurs can at least give a good effort in home repairs.
