I spend one week outside under the rain and cold to make my 15ft mega tree, the center was an 10ft 3/4 “ iron pipe with a join and another 6ft ¾” iron pipe and the star in the top, the tree had four steel wires from the center and attached to the floor.
Tonight came a strong storm and basically the wind destroyed the tree, the join is broken, and the star is gone, I don’t want to even think how many strings are broken.
I moved to Redmond/Washington 2 years ago, and I really hate this place, I moved like 7 times already from California to Georgia, this is BY FAR the worst place to live. Rains 300 days a year, days last 6 hs, always wet, people not often in a good mod, there is no activity to do outside with kids, is very cold and is expensive as hell.
The only here that attach me here is my job. But even when can be the best job of the world I think I can’t take it anymore, I don’t want my kids to be raise in this s….
I tried to get a hobby to distract me from all this, first was RC helicopters, I could fly them 2 weeks in a year, or drive 30miles to fly them indoor (LAME) and them I switched to Christmas lights and now with the mega tree I could not even tried the tree since when I finished every time I tried the CFGI break, connecting every single mini light string I hear the sound the sparks make against the grass since everything is wet, and now I could not even tried once since the tree is gone.
Seriously I’m thinking quit the hobby.
Basically I have 14 wireless LE’s, 16 SSRs (8 wireless), 3 wireless Aethers fully assembled, probably I’ll put that for sale soon (this week may be).
May be I’ll get a hobby to go out for dinner 4 times a weeks, so I’ll gain 100 pounds and play XBOX every night.
Cas.
