That time of the year

[thebuildist]

Christmas season seems really short this year. I think it's because Thanksgiving was so late.

Anyway, I wasn't going to put out George the 9 foot tall nutcracker this year. Seemed like too much hassle for 3 weeks of holiday season.

But the neighbors kids asked about him, and seemed really eager to see him. And I'll do anything for my adoring public!

The wife said, "You're going to hurt your back hauling that thing down there (he's about 350 lbs.) and then you'll say you can't help me with the indoor decorations!"

I said, "Nope. I'm not hardly going to lift a finger."

And I wasn't lying.

Boy do I love having a loader.

He is an awesome decoration Bob . You can leave him up for an extra week into the new year . Just put a New Years sash on him . Seriously , that is an awesome piece you made ,something to be proud of . And yes hydraulics make light work of a lot of things . I do not know how I would manage without Frankie .

That is a terrific nutcracker Bob. Certainly a project to be proud of and share with the public. Harry
