Whoops - cleanup on aisle seven
Discovered the hard way that the old tree stand had a leak. I was wondering why our tree was going through more than two gallons of water in the first couple hours and noticed the carpet was pretty soggy.
Ran back out to the tree farm and picked up a new stand for $25. Will be sure to test this one next year -- the old stand was about ten years old.
Lulu took off the more fragile ornaments, Curtis and I lifted the tree up and Lulu swapped out the stands.
Oh well -- things were going too easy today anyway, got to throw in a little Murphy's Laws now and then.
