Each week, I receive quite a few emails from readers of this column. I treasure each one because they provide a window to view the real problems and challenges you face with your homes.

Some messages are small, some are medium, and others are extra-large. One reader sent me an XXL one. It was a pleasure to read. There are several teaching moments in his email that I’m about to share.
