Hi everyone :) Saturday was a good day as I started to get the tree set up. There were about 30 dead bulbs that I had to fix, other than that everything is moving along smoothly... that is as smooth as setting up a 12 foot tree can go lol. I am hoping to put in a solid 5 hours tomorrow :)
wow,now the season has officially begun:christmastree:Quote:

Oh Mike - Bella is bella!
OM, SO SO glad to see you back on ATC! I know a lot of us have been very concerned about you.
Mike, I feel that way with just my 7 1/2 ft tree. I can't imagine doing a 12 footer. but.. I'm happy to have YOU be the one to do all that work and ME (or us at ATC) be the one(s) who get to enjoy all your amazing pics, (I'd insert a grinning elf here, but don't seem to have access anymore)
Well I am 18 hours in and all of the mini lights are done and the star has been mounted. Tomorrow I will finish the twinkle lights, add the ornamotors, anchor the tree, and start on the ornaments

The star !!!
It was another productive day. The lights are completely done, ornamotors are set up and tied down. I have also anchored the tree and done a stress test. I shake the tree to make sure it will not come crashing down. I also check the temperature of the tree with all the lights on for 2 hours with a laser thermonitor. I have brought up most of the decorations and will start to decorate tomorrow. Lots of pictures coming :)
The decorating has begun :)

Magical. As always :christmastree:
So, so beautiful! :)
Beautiful Mike, I love it so much..:christmastree:
Thanks everyone :) I am very happy with the tree and I have been able to set it up in record time this year.
I am sorry about taking so long to post updates. I am slower than Florida posting election results.... ok maybe not that slow :dizzy: I am such an idiot, after thinking that I was finished with the tree I found another bin of ornaments in the basement that I missed bringing upstairs and to top it off I left out a bunch of ornamotors.... oh well...
With that being said the tree is almost done and there are lots of pics coming. I was out this evening shopping. More ornaments, an interesting LED light conbination of colours for the purple tree ( which I will talk about more on Sunday, and 2 new christmas trees and matching wreath for the front porch.
:christmastree:
I'm looking forward to seeing all your pics. What colors will you be doing the 2 new trees in?
Hi steph, they are 4 foot verisons of my livingroom tree and have clear lights. I am going to see if I can find some silver ornaments for them.
It is quite amazing Mike !!! ..... and you have set it all up in such a short space of time !!Quote:
