Ginormous

Last year we got a big tree and I was ever so sure that this was the same size tree. We bought it from our favorite Pettit Creek Farms and they warned us we needed a huge vaulted ceiling (no problems says me) and that it weighed about 200lbs. No way says me. Well after lots of lugging and going to buy the heaviest duty stand in the world and taking it out of the one it was in and resetting it up in the sturdier one- I believe them, easily 200lbs.(this was after attempting with the huge one we had and putting rocks in the base and putting rocks around it and still being afraid it would topple). Now we are happy. Kinda have tired backs put it is up in its new ever so sturdy stand and Wood is quite pleased. Says we'll have to do this again next year ;-). Petey just sat on the couch and watched and wonders when he will have a chance to do his own brand of tree exploring .... hmmm.
