That was very manly of you to have accomplished all that by yourself, I'm very impressed! Now, get up in the loft and get the heavy boxes down and finish the job you started!

Went to Wally World and got one for $23, a 6 footer too. Got it up in the room right now, threw in some of that tree food stuff with the water and it looks great.
$60 to $80 :scared: Bloody rippoff.

Re: Christmas Decorations........
The kids have put the tree up and decorated it, but that is about it for now, I am still finding it a bit difficult to get into the Xmas feel of things when its tropical weather outside...
