Dennis finished the tree like the one Jazzcat-Lori posted about and I love it! (kitties too but they were outside when I took the pix) This one will be our indoor tree It only took a few hours yesterday afternoon and he said it was "very easy" so I hope some of you get your hubbys or boyfriends or even YOU to try it. His table saw broke half way through or it would have been a real snap. The legs are not yet wrapped in the sisal and THAT will take time if I do it at all - my cats are declawed but still use it for exercise. Anyway - here it is!!
