We got one that was thrown out 2 years ago, I have now moved it to the front of the house and put it in a tub, all I need to do now is put the lights on it!!!!!! I always wish I was flush with money this time of year as you could buy loads of stuff cheap, especialy pre owned things, furniture, TV's cars etc, Oh well, maybe one day...I bet your 50 trees look stunning, we rented a cottage next to a CHristmas tree plantation and I had an urge to go and put decorations on them all!!
