I could only imagine. Your beautiful wife didn't volunteer to go and at least supervise? :cheer:

Actually I was not thinking about the cutting down part, I was wondering how you were able to get it on the Ford. God Bless ya Man. Barry

Good Lord, 5'6" at 10. What the heck is in the water up there? Oh, it's the polutants from the copper mines. Ha!

Wow! lol. Trees always look smaller when you are looking at them to cut them down then they actually do when you get them home!! Once, my dad and I went to get a tree, and ended up having to cut about 6" of the top so we could get the star on top. It's a very nice tree thought!

I wish I could have something that size.

THAT is a massive tree. Gorgeous!! Absolutely lovely. It must smell simply devine in your house, what a beautiful reason to gather family and friends!
Another beautiful reason; gathering together in the springtime & planting a pine tree to replace the one your family borrowed from nature :cheer:
