Does Your Christmas Tree Need a Diaper?

Posted February 5, 2010

We are living on the 10th floor of an apartment block here in Singapore and moving a 3-Meeter tall christmas tree that is half-dead and shedding half a bucket of pine-needles with every shake requires a unique kind of social edict.  

If we just drag the tree from our house to the first floor dumping area, we will leave a trail of pine all the way from our door. No matter how you look at it, this isn't very cool. Last year we got around it with a much smaller tree that wasn't as dead. This year we held on too long. So we needed a solution and we didn't have much time. 

The reason for the Christmas Tree Diaper: 

tree fur

 

 

 

 

 

 

To avoid getting all of this all over the apartment block and risking some sort of obscure garbage dumping fine, we designed this: 

The Tree Diaper

Really it is quite simple. You just need an extra fitted sheet, and a whole bunch of laundry clips. Add in a little bit of grunting and you got it.

There you have it. A clean and economical solution to transporting a half-dead christmas tree from the top of an apartment block to the trash. You got a better idea? Share it!

Cut it into bits.
Possibly, place a sheet, or shower curtain in the large bathtub. Use a chainsaw, ax, reciprocating saw, hand saw, or scalpel...oh, I am thinking of disposing something else....
