Any word on how long this one lasted? Is it still there, or long gone?

But I wonder if in time the tree will die because of lack of upkeep. ? But then again, whoever tends to the tree right next to it could tend to it as well. Nice job, I’m glad someone came up with a good idea like this.

Where exactly is this box located? I’d like to decorate it for Xmas.

Well, in my defence, the split in the wood isn’t due to my skillz, but the scrap wood I was using. (In Toronto, I used all brand-spanking new wood.) After transplanting Alberta, I gave her a good soaking to keep her happy, and all that water caused the plywood to separate at the top there. It’s still strong though!

I like the tree, but I’m less impressed with your carpentry skillz. or measuring skillz? This seems a less-precise operation than your Toronto installations. Oh well; I’ll just assume you made the closest shape you could with available recycled wood.

That’s amazing – I can’t believe that box just sat there for 16 years. I hope the tree lasts at least that many days!

man

16 years!!
