wal-mart has everything...the question is, can you deal with walking into a zoo and wrestling 2 hippoes for the last set of lights?

My Dad used to work for seimens-litronics in the mid 80's. They made LEDs. Our garage had piles of them. One year we retrofited a set of lights with LEDs. It was super ghetto looking. Glad the rest of the world has caught up.

Hole in bottom?

That's from the nail that held it to the temporary cross stand.

Your tree stand should use thumscrews or something similar to hold the side of the tree in place.

I just got back from cutting down a living thing to put it in the living room to watch it die...

Pulled a bit of a Clark Griswald, 15 foot tree for an 11 foot ceiling... trim to fit.

dude, our stand is probably older than me. when I used to put a small tree in my room it had a stand with thumb screws, but that stand is too small for a 7' tree

I wanted to go to a kill your own tree farm but they only had ugo's
