Timber Wave
Species: American red oak
Architect: Amanda Levete Architects (AL_A)
Photographer: Dennis Gilbert
London Design Festival is a perfect opportunity for designers to explore materials in new ways. For the 2011 edition of this annual event, the American Hardwood Export Council (AHEC) commissioned Amanda Levete Architects (AL_A) to design a temporary installation called Timber Wave at the entrance to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. American red oak was used to create an impressive structure investigating the potential of designing in wood, at the same time being a showcase for a timber still unknown in Europe. Timber Wave is also a demonstration of collaboration on many levels – not only between architects and engineers, but also with the museum and contractors who made and assembled the majestic structure. The result was ground-breaking and overcame everyone's expectations.
This virtuoso piece of design was the third and the most ambitious collaboration between the American Hardwood Export Council and the London Design Festival. Victoria Broackers, who is head of the Festival at the Victoria and Albert Museum, was delighted at the result: "We are absolutely thrilled to have had a major installation on our doorstep".
The initial project brief provided by London Design Festival and AHEC, challenged Amanda Levete Architects (AL_A) and engineering company Arup to design a structure which would manifest the strength and beauty of American red oak. "Normally I feel uncomfortable if a design doesn't have a function at its core, but the purpose here is very clear: to create something that is self-supporting, that is made out of timber with minimal steel connectors, that goes 12,5 m high and doesn't need to be tied back to something. We wanted to bring the museum onto the street, to make a reference to the form of the arch – from a certain angle the Timber Wave appears to mirror that arch. We also wanted to demonstrate the technical and conceptual properties of the material" – said Amanda Levete, the founder of AL_A. "It is the most structurally complex project that we have ever undertaken, which was deeply stressful, but ultimately successful"– she added.
Ed Clark, Arup director commented on the project: "Participating in these experimental installations at the London Design Festival is hugely valuable to us. They provide a great chance to evolve new modeling, analysis, design and construction techniques. Design is central to the work that we do as engineers and this installation provides an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the interplay of artistic creativity and technical expertise that is inherent in all design".
The timber used for the body of the Timber Wave was American red oak, which was donated by eight AHEC members. This species grows abundantly in the eastern part of the United States, making up about 30% of all the hardwood trees. American red oak combines high strength with good workability, which makes it ideal for machining process. In 1998 AHEC and the Building Research Establishment (BRE) tested the structural potential of four species – Tulipwood, American ash and American red oak and American white oak. Of all the species tested, it was actually American red oak that came out the strongest, despite being about 20% less dense than the white oak. This research was published under Eurocode 5, and was invaluable at the design stage.
The installation at the V&A needed to be 12m high to match the scale of museum entrance but AL_A was keen to use members which were no bigger than furniture legs. Arup suggested a simple trussed arch as an efficient structural form, combined with the strength of the red oak to keep the structure as lightweight as possible. However, it was the architect's inspired idea to wrap the arch into a large circular wave, itself composed of smaller wave shaped components that was to be the defining feature of the project.
The key components of the Timber Wave are chords and braces, presented on figures 1 and 2. However, in order to create the impression of delicate structure, the architect decided to curve all the elements and place the largest at the bottom of the piece, with the lighter at the top. Curving the elements created significant engineering challenges. In a truss all the members are either in compression or tension; curve the members and those in tension will try and straighten while those in compression will try and fold up. The more curved they are, the larger they will need to be to stop them straightening or folding. By using a piece of parametric design software called Grasshopper, architect and engineer were able to rapidly explore the effect of varying both member size and degree of waviness on the overall appearance and behaviour of the structure. In the end it was decided to keep a constant 150mm 'waviness' and to vary the size of the members (from 60 x 60 to 140 x 80) to respond to the level of applied force. This means that visitors could instantly see which members were working harder adding to the dynamism of the piece; the elements towards ground level are obviously working hardest, particularly the outer chords which attract the largest forces as the prevailing wind tries to blow the structure against the museum.
The curved nature of all the members also enabled the design team to explore different ways of forming the wood into curved shapes. It was originally intended to steam bend the members, but at 8% moisture content, the kiln dried lumber was too dry to steam bend; steam bending could also not have achieved the necessary tolerance. Instead, the chords were conventionally laminated in a press but to achieve the 1m radius of curvature, the thickness of the laminates had to be reduced to about 6mm, compared with the 30-40mm typically used for glulam arches. The advantage of laminating is of course that the strong fibres of the wood follow the line of the member.
Each chord was prefabricated in seven lengths. Steel rods bonded into the end of each piece ( in order to be joined together on site, with a slight twist to accommodate the geometry as they spiral outwards from the museum. Discreet rods were also bonded into the sides of the most highly stressed elements to prevent the laminates pulling apart under load.
Working in wood made it possible to estimate the size of raw material by examining the finished members. The entire work was fabricated from sawn kiln dried boards about 200mm wide and 25m thick. After planing, the boards measured about 20 mm and thus the braces were 60 mm thick, being cut from three 20 mm boards laminated together. Slicing the boards into three, yields the 6mm laminates used for the chords and it was this in turn which determined the maximum curvature to which the chords could be bent (typically wood can be bent to about 200 times its thickness before it snaps). Finally, sawing the 200 mm faces in two more or less determines the maximum 80 mm width of the braces.
Connecting the pieces
Getting the connections right was a crucial step to ensure that the very complex joints work. At a typical joint, there are two chord sections joining end to end, with four curved braces. If these are outer chords, they also have two ties, joining them to their neighbours. The engineers from Arup designed all the connections in stainless steel so as to avoid staining the oak with mild steel due to reactions with tannins in the oak. The team wanted the connections to be as discreet as possible, as the intended visual effect was that of the structure made entirely from timber.
The braces were 'flitched' with stainless steel plates at their ends, which means that thin plates of stainless steel were inserted into the components, and fixed to them, so that they could take up some of the stress as well as forming a method of connection. Bolts are fitted through 'lugs' at the end of them. The chords have steel rods inserted into them that are connected with a fixing called a clevis. The design of the structure had to take into account not only its weight and the vast loads it imposes in tension and compression, but also external forces such as wind.
When indicative testing was carried out at the works, the timber elements were found to perform better than expected – a tribute both to the quality of material that had been supplied and to the care and skill that went into making the elements.
Challenging installation
The final stage of the project was its installation on site. Cowley Timberwork preassembled six large pieces in the factory and delivered them to site. Each large piece was connected to its neighbor with extreme accuracy. Then Timber Wave was slowly released from the scaffold, allowing it to become self-supporting before the scaffolding and hoarding were removed, lights were fixed and the majestic structure was in place. Timber Wave remained on display from 19 September to 14 October 2011.
The finished structure demonstrated the unique potential of timber to form complex geometries as well as the structural potential of American red oak. Only by utilising the tremendous strength of the red oak was it possible to achieve such a lightweight structure. David Venables, AHEC European director and the driving force behind the commissioning of the Timber Wave, believes that the perception of American red oak is about to change: "We hope that this very high profile project will be a turning point in changing perceptions and demonstrating what a good looking, high performing hardwood it really is. We believe the relatively low consumption in Europe is down to a lack of familiarity and awareness of its potential. Red oak's colour is distinctively different in appearance from the white oaks, being a richer colour with red tones which we believe is potentially its greatest asset".
The architect Amanda Levete was impressed with the unique qualities of American red oak: "We have never worked with wood at this scale before or used it as a structural material. I love very human properties of wood, the unpredictability of the grain and the pattern that wood has. There is the beauty of working with a natural material – the perfection lies somewhere deeper, not in the evenness. AHEC finds it interesting that American red oak can be given a low impact oil treatment, which makes it more durable for exterior use".

The West Jefferson Aldermen met Monday night and approved two capital projects and were presented the quarterly report from the ABC store.
The two capital projects the aldermen approved were for the continued expansion of the sewer line extension in the area of Ashe County Ford and for a sidewalk improvement project on Main Street.
West Jefferson Town Manager Brantley Price reported to the aldermen their approval was needed for a budget amendment to continue the sewer line expansion because the work will continue into the upcoming fiscal year. It was approved.
Price also reported to the aldermen the sidewalk and streetscape projects are scheduled to be completed by June 30, the end of the fiscal year for the town. The budget amendment needed to begin the work was approved.
Price said the funds being used for the two projects were not coming from the town's fund balance, but with unrecognized tax collections and $74,000 in funds from the N.C. Department of Transportation.
The aldermen did not have the proposed changes in the town's sign ordinance on the agenda.
Haskell McGuire, the chairman of the board of the town's ABC store, reported to the aldermen that first quarter sales for the store were down by approximately $2,000 over the same period last year.
He also announced the store had contributed $10,500 to the town during the quarter.
After McGuire completed his report, he was asked by Mayor Dale Baldwin about the prospect of the state's ABC stores becoming privatized; an issue that had been raised as a possibility during the last year's statewide political campaign.
McGuire said he had looked into the issue and said there were no plans "at this moment."
"It looks like we're okay," said McGuire.
Price reported to the aldermen that $1,048,000, or 95.2 percent, of the town annual tax levy had been collected as of the Monday of the meeting.
He also told the aldermen the town's Tourism Development Authority had decided to advertise on a Charlotte television station and had purchased space on a billboard between Boone and Blowing Rock.
West Jefferson Police Chief Jeff Rose presented the monthly incident report.
Rose reported the town's officer's responded to 223 calls during April. The town's officers also made 18 arrests, 15 drug-related arrests, one burglary arrest, five drug citations, one driving while under the influence, and seven larcenies,.
West Jefferson's Utilities Director David Hamilton reported the all the town's water tanks were full, one well was down for repairs, that a recent state inspection of the treatment facility had revealed some "minor things." "They're picking at us, in my opinion," said Hamilton.
He also said since January, there has been 29 inches of rain and 23 inches of snow, which is better than half of what the area's precipitation is for an entire year.
The aldermen scheduled another budget workshop for 6 p.m. Thursday, May 23, at the town hall.

I like the campus and the city of Lacey. The school is close to Olympia and Tacoma so there is alot to do and see. The school is located on 350 acres of beautiful forest and ponds. The students are very nice and I have made a lot of friends both in my classes and out of them. I stay busy and enjoy being here.
» Read MoreThere are so many fun things to do on campus. There are sports to go watch, trails to hike, and cozy hidden study locals for those cold winter days. Anyone can come hang out in Campus Ministry and enjoy the snacks there.
» Read MoreAs a small-town girl who grew up in a 360-degree panorama of green, I appreciate that the campus is surrounded by trees, providing a cushion from the urban sprawl outside. It is quieter and more peaceful than I thought it would be, for the middle of a city, which is very nice. The library and Harned Hall are great haunts for studying, and the latter is popular for socializing over a cup of coffee. When the weather is nice, you can go on a long nature walk with a friend, or camp out on a bench to chat or just people-watch. Somehow, it never becomes dull to hear the abbey church bells or to see the monks walking around on campus, either teaching or attending classes themselves. I knocked off a star from a full score because the dorms are frequently noisy. I do not know if it depends on what RA you have, but in my experience, quiet hours are rarely enforced outside of Dead Week (before/during finals).

One can get a blanket sit on the grass and have a picnic, study or even read a book. The church that is also on campus with the university adds even more serenity to the place because sometimes one can hear the bell, which sounds like a soundtrack added to a play to make it stand out and perfect. It's an ideal environment for studying, relaxing and basically enjoying your time.

"All I can say at this point is we are aware of the event and working with the customer," said Lori Gunter, a spokeswoman for Boeing.
Boeing shares were down more than 3% in early trading Wednesday. Shares of All Nippon trading in Tokyo were down more than 1.0%.
The latest incident builds on a series of problems that began last week when a maintenance worker discovered an electrical fire aboard an empty Japan Airlines 787 scheduled for departure from Logan International Airport in Boston. Then a Japan Airlines flight bound for Tokyo aborted takeoff from Boston after a pilot on another airplane spotted the 787 leaking fuel. In another incident, an All Nippon Dreamliner flight was canceled after the crew received an error message related to the plane's braking system.
To close out the week, oil was discovered leaking from a generator of an engine of an All Nippon Airways Dreamliner at an airport in southern Japan, and a crack appeared in a cockpit window of another All Nippon plane en route from Tokyo to a city in western Japan.
The rash of glitches represent "a very big problem" from the standpoints of image, engineering, production and customer relations, said Richard Aboulafia, an airline analyst for the Teal Group, based in Virginia.
"From every standpoint, it's a very big headache," Aboulafia said, but cautioned that it's hard to tell which incidents should fall under the heading of a production snafu, a system glitch, or both.
Boeing has delivered 50 of the aircraft. It has more than 800 unfilled orders from airlines around the globe that will take years to fill. In addition to the Dreamliner assembly line at its Seattle-area factory, it built a new 1,000-worker factory in South Carolina to handle the demand. It hopes to double production of the plane this year to about 10 a month.
All Nippon has taken delivery of more Dreamliners than any other airline, with 17 in service, according to aviation consultancy Ascend Advisory. Japan Airlines has seven Dreamliners in use, while United Airlines and Air India have six each. A spokesman for Air India said it would keep its Dreamliners in service on Wednesday.
The first Dreamliner was put into service by All Nippon in October 2011. But that flight was more than three years behind the aircraft maker's original delivery schedule.

New exhibition at Museo Picasso Málaga looks at Pablo Picasso's earliest years as an artist
Portraits of his relations, lesson studies, bullfighting scenes, landscapes, still-lifes and copies of other artworks all bear testimony to those early years. Photo: Jesús Domínguez © Museo Picasso Málaga.
In the late 19th century, Malaga was a city full of contrasts. The enterprising spirit of the bourgeois classes had resulted in there being over 150 registered factories here in 1878. A large part of the population worked in them, with working hours of up to seventy hours a week. Described in travel books as Gods paradise on earth, this superbly located seaport suffered a series of natural disasters during this period that brought on an economic recession. The city tried to recover from this with new plans for urban growth and by promoting alternative forms of business.
This was the context in which Pablo Ruiz Picasso was born and spent his childhood. The boy grew up in a predominantly female household, surrounded by his mother, Maria Picasso, and his aunts and sisters. There was also the social circle of his father, José Ruiz Blasco, a teacher and painter who enjoyed literary and artistic gatherings and the bullfighting world, and had connections to Malagas artistic circles. He supervised his sons training from very early on, introducing him to the principles of technique and composition, which the child quickly grasped. As Picasso himself recalled in 1943: My early drawings could never have been shown at an exhibition of childrens drawings they had barely any of the awkwardness or naivety of a child I quickly outgrew that period of wonderful vision
Portraits of his relations, lesson studies, bullfighting scenes, landscapes, still-lifes and copies of other artworks all bear testimony to those early years, when the young boy portrayed his home environment and the landscape around it to suit the aesthetic tastes of the city at that time. In 1891, the Ruiz-Picasso family left Malaga and only returned there for short periods of time. The last time Pablo Picasso visited was in 1901, in the company of his friend Carles Casagemas. By the age of twenty, his brushstrokes were gradually moving away from their early academic style and gaining a freedom that would lead him to become the great artist of the 20th century.
Picasso de Málaga. Earliest Works maps this period of the budding artist and his family. It brings together an outstanding collection of 53 works from the artists childhood and youth, along with a selection of works produced in his later years that invite us to reflect on the way this initial period may have left its mark on Picasso and his work.
The exhibition also contains 35 works by other artists such as José Denis Belgrano, Antonio Muñoz Degrain, Joaquín Martínez de la Vega, or the artists own father, José Ruiz Blasco, that reproduce the artistic atmosphere in Malaga at the time. There are also 104 documents including photographs, maps and objects that recreate the city as it stood on the threshold between two centuries.
Organized in collaboration with Museu Picasso de Barcelona, the exhibition has been enhanced thanks to contributions from private collectors in Malaga, the Museo del Prado, Museo de Málaga, the Biblioteca Nacional de España, Fundación Pablo Ruiz Picasso Museo Casa Natal, the Museo del Patrimonio Municipal and a number of international art museums. The Picasso of Malaga. Earliest Works exhibition is the first of three exhibitions held as part of the MPM´s 10th Anniversary celebrations.

The School Media studies, in order to assist graduate students planning a course of study, has defined several areas of focus by creating clusters of associated courses. Students can choose one of the school's areas of focus, described below or design their own areas of focus in consultation with faculty advisors.
In 1919, The New School opened its doors to all "intelligent men and women" committed to studying the "grave social, political, economic, and educational problems of the day." The university's historical commitment to the arts and progressive education, combined with its activist mission, draws students and faculty who are committed to social change and the creative means to incite it. Media are tools for change, and the MA program in Media Studies offers many courses that examine how media have been employed in building communities, promoting reform, and creating awareness of today's grave problems, and courses that prepare students to create transformative media.
The curriculum in media management is designed to teach students to tackle the challenges posed by new and emerging media technologies and evolving corporate structures. Students are trained in key areas of communication and convergence in the 21st century. Courses address industry perspectives, media management and leadership, media economics, information technologies, competitive strategies, and corporate responsibility. Students can take individual courses in this focus area, or they can complete 12 credits and a synthesis paper and receive a graduate Certificate in Media Management in addition to the master's degree. Students who complete the certificate curriculum gain in-depth experience analyzing and writing case studies and leading and participating in group projects. They are mentored by the program's distinguished faculty members and build networks with their peers.
In recent decades, scholars and practitioners of urban studies, art history, architecture, urban planning, sociology, and anthropology have paid greater attention to the role of media in planning and designing urban areas and the impact of media on cityscapes and city dweller experiences. At the same time, scholars of media and communication studies have taken more interest in urban communication. This convergence of interests between media studies and design, between the university and urban contexts, makes The New School an ideal place and now an ideal time to investigate the relationship of urban studies and media studies and how these fields interact with the city itself. In Media and the Urban Environment focus area, students and faculty together explore how
This focus area incorporates existing courses and new service-learning initiatives and draws on the resources of the other divisions of The New School and the resources of New York City as our urban laboratory.
New York is a global city, and The New School is a global university. The media we create are disseminated around the world, and the media we consume reach us from the far corners of the earth. Therefore, Media Studies emphasizes internationalism as part of its program. Partnering with the university's graduate program in International Affairs, the program offers a selection of courses on international media. Each semester, several courses of the Milano School's graduate program in International Affairs are cross-listed in Media Studies. Students are also encouraged to look at other related International Affairs courses and those of the university's other graduate programs as well.
The New School's history of social and political engagement and New York's inexhaustible supply of people, places, and events to document make the Media Studies program an ideal place to study documentary media. Students focusing in Documentary Studies explore the art and history of the documentary and investigate and help shape its evolving forms. In media methods and media practice courses, students create their own documentaries in a variety of formats—audio, video, web-based, and multi-format.
In the contemporary media landscape, film as an idea and practice has entered into complex "hybrid" relations with other media forms. The School of Media Studies offers students a critical and creative ways of approaching this topic. Seminars and workshops explore subjects and themes related to film history and aesthetics, and others offer a more interdisciplinary approach. For students who wish to focus on issues specific to the theory and practice of filmmaking, the program offers this sequence of five courses (15 credits). In the first three classes, students engage with the conceptual and expressive parameters of film through a mixture of seminars on aesthetics and hands-on experiments in labs and workshops. In the final two courses, students take practical and theoretical knowledge and skills a step further, developing a 15 to 20-minute final project to be shot on 16mm film or digital video. This project may, with permission and supervision of an adviser, be submitted as part of the student's thesis project.
One might say that Sound Studies is in the DNA of The New School and its radical pedagogy: Hanns Eisler, Aaron Copland, and John Cage were members of our faculty, and The New School auditorium (since named the John L. Tishman Auditorium) was a prototype of the modern acoustics of Radio City Music Hall. Whether in music or in conjunctions with dance, architecture, and film, various engagements with sound have been informed by the critical and socially engaged thinking of The New School. Given the university's rich history of sound scholarship and production and its location in New York City (home to a vibrant music scene and the many of the world's largest media companies as well as to a polluted acoustic ecology, the plague of most metropolitan areas), The New School is favorably situated to engender progressive, interdisciplinary research, teaching, and practice in the field of acoustic environments. MA students who focus their program on Sound Studies and Acoustic Environments take six courses: Fundamentals of Sound Studies, two audio production courses, and three sound seminar electives. Through this complement of courses, students realize in praxis and through cross-divisional collaboration the radical ideals of The New School's founders.
Media practice cultivates understanding and proficiency with design and production. This curriculum is based on students conceiving real projects, developing individual design approaches, and utilizing the technical tools to create them. The courses present media production formats as tools of communication (means to the end of creating aural and visual messages) rather than promoting the mastery of particular equipment and software as sufficient ends in themselves. Instruction in Media Practice courses frames the necessary technical training within the context of design and production conceptualization and research. It also promotes a cross-platform or comparative approach: students discover how processes and tools translate within and between media formats. In the process, they achieve understanding of and proficiency with the aesthetic and technical capabilities of each production medium, explore the interrelationships and interdependencies between them, and create work from start to finish. Media Project courses provide experiences and challenges that go beyond the Media Practice courses, requiring students who've attained a level of proficiency in a particular format to apply their skills and aesthetics to more complex media messages. Cameras, microphones, audio recorders, and other production tools are provided. Digital image production and all post-production can be done on university digital editing workstations with appropriate current software. In-class listening/viewing, analysis and critique, and assigned readings provide support and context for production work.

APPLÅD and Godmorgon Coffee Table
Materials: APPLÅD doors (60x90 cm), APPLÅD drawer fronts (13x60 cm), Godmorgon legs (22 cm), Screws, construction glue
Description: We had been looking around quite a while for a suitable coffee table for our new penthouse apartment. We had a fairly good idea of what we were looking for, but we couldn't really find the right model - at least not for a reasonable price.
One day we decided to build our own coffee table and went to IKEA to get:
- 2 APPLÅD doors (60x90 cm
- 2 APPLÅD drawer fronts (13x60 cm
- 4 Godmorgon legs (22 cm)
We built it in three steps:
The first step was to attach 2 APPLÅD drawer fronts to one of the APPLÅD doors to form the base plate of the table. We drilled five holes on each side of the door and used five long screws for each drawer front along with lots of heavy duty construction glue.
The second step was to attach the top door to the base. We didn't want any screw heads to show (for natural reasons), so we attached the top door using dowels and glue. Since we didn't have any wooden dowels in our tool box, we used ordinary nails (with chopped off nail heads) that we put in pre drilled holes in the drawer fronts along with construction glue. It was a bit tricky to fit the door exactly right, but since the nails produced tiny marks on the door when we positioned it on top of the drawer fronts, it was easy to see where to drill holes (1 cm deep) along the edges of the top door.
The last step was to attach the Godmorgon legs to the table. We had to play around with the positioning of the legs a few times until we found the positioning that we thought worked well with the design.
The total cost for this project was around 800 SEK (90 EUR or 120 USD).
It is a fairly simple hack, but nevertheless rather elegant, or what do you think?

Thanks! The Sofa is non-IKEA. It is a Bo Concept sofa (Danish design).

Well, not every piece of furniture in your house should be an IKEA hack

Does anyone see any reason not to try this with a glass door as the top? http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00158514/

So for the first time in probably 10 years, the Strange household is proudly displaying a Christmas tree.
It's a Charlie Brown Christmas tree, but there are a few lights and baubles and whatnot.
Which is nice, considering it was quite the endeavor to get it cut and in the house.
It all began when the little lady and I moved into our pristine new home. In the backyard there were some bushes and things we wanted to cut down, including what looked like the most pitiful pine tree you've ever seen struggling for life alongside a HUGE pecan tree.
Looking over the yard shortly after moving in we began making plans.
"Cut that down."
"Trim those back."
"That would be a great place for a flower bed, but you're going to need to cut down all those bushes and clear away all of those fallen trees."
You get the picture.
So I've been sweatin', wading through knee-high poison ivy, pulling weeds, cutting down bushes and what-have-you.
The yard is looking much better, although the pitiful pine was left standing in preparation for the holiday season.
And then came Saturday.
You must understand that since I've not had a reason to get all Christmas-y for the past decade or so, I don't own any decorations.
Or a chain saw.
Or a Christmas tree stand.
Or one of those little throw-down things that cover up the Christmas tree stand.
Or anything else related to the holiday (like an extra extension cord), for that matter.
But who cares about preparation, right?
For some reason the little lady and I looked at the trunk of the pecan tree and at the scrawny little pine and without a word knew that Saturday was the day.
I grabbed an axe and pretended to be George Washington with the cherry tree.
A few hefty swings and that bad boy was DOWN!
And then I looked at it.
What appeared to be a small-ish, Charlie Brown tree was in fact a lot larger when cut. It was much bigger than it appeared and fluffed out nicely, let's put it that way.
"How are we going to get this thing to stand up?" I asked, realizing immediately that I don't own a tree stand.
Since there's a limit to my wing-it mentality, I quickly dismissed the briefly-considered string, duct tape and push-pin idea.
At first I looked at a little Folger's coffee container that was lying around for some reason or the other.
"Let's fill that up with rocks and stick the tree in it," I said. To which my girl replied that it would "never in a million years hold it up."
Being stubborn, I didn't believe her.
So I cleared all the dead leaves and spider webs out of our new tree and went to work.
With the trusty Folger's container as the base and rocks from the yard in it, I let go of the tree.
And plop.
"You're going to have to have a bigger bucket," the little lady said helpfully as she sat watching the comedy of errors.
After three more tries with the coffee container, I gave in and grudgingly admitted she was right.
So it's truly a Charlie Brown Christmas at the Strange household.
Proudly displayed in our living room is a HUGE Christmas tree — stuck in a rock-and-water-filled five-gallon bucket that's covered with a bathroom towel. It's decorated sparsely with a few lights, a few baubles and some delicious candy canes that are held on with little slivers of packing tape, since we also don't have any of those little hook thingys. (I've eaten about six already.)
There isn't a present under it, but that doesn't matter.
When I finally plugged it in and the few lights lit up, the little lady came over and smiled. She put one hand on the baby in her belly and the other on my sweaty, pine-needle-covered back.
And that's when I knew it's going to be the best Christmas ever.
