8/10 Good
"The only bad thing was it was literally raining sap! So we couldn't spend much time in the beautiful outdoors or use the hot tub without it raining sap on our heads.... And it was a real pain with having a dog there and dealing with that sap. Taking her out was very difficult - her paws got filled with sap and then everything stuck to her foot so she came in super dirty and I had to spend a long time cleaning here EVERY time. Be warned about the sap! It's no joke!"
