2017 Christmas Tree Build

My go to justification is a general lack of floor space. But hell, seemed like the thing to do. This is year 3 with the tree up there.

 

You freakin' weirdo.











I love it.

 

We cut our Colorado blue spruce up on Mount Taylor, NM at about 10,000 feet each year.

 

That's so cool

 

The NF permit is $10 for up to a 10 foot tree. We have a 12 foot cieling, so that works out great.

 

Instructions unclear, advise not using false-gravity machine till further notice

 

Just picked up a Balsam Fir. It was cut this week, but I still put a fresh cut on bottom and had to trim a couple of the lower branches so it would fit in the stand. Naked in my garage for the evening to allow the branches to settle.

 

Nah, just takes some careful planning: yuletide decorations and a nice zen fountain all in one. Think of it as a multicultural celebration, torrent of dropped needles notwithstanding.

 

They say girth is very important

And it's about time you joined out little build thread, Sir Mark

 

She's chuncky!

 

Hey....I like a little meat on a tree.

Tree got back.

 

It's finally up!

i raise you both the Qui-gon/Darth Maul fight scene



And a Death Star

 

Tree looks great.

Honestly...we have too many Star Wars ornaments for me to name. Some are full size and some are miniature ones on our 2 tiny trees

 

I just got creative...

 

Awesome! That's the spirit.

 

Those are sweet!
