Purplemaniacs Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 We always leave putting up the decorations and buying the tree to the last minute....... Well this year we were more organised last week went and bought a lovely tree from the local Christmas Tree Farm, brought it home and as we were not going to decortate it until I had broken up from school we popped it in a bucket of water at the side of the house. Yesterday we went to bring it into the house, knocked the snow off of it and then found the problem it is frozen in the bucket Shall I bring it inside in the bucket and wait for it to defrost What do you all think?

ClaireG Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 Either leave in bucket to defrost if you've got somewhere you can do that or could you poor boiling water over the bucket to dislodge the tree? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Would the boiling water damage the tree, that is if the ice hasn't already. Chrissie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 If you're bringing in indoors I'd maybe put the frozen bucket inside a bigger bucket (or tubtrug?) in case the frozen bucket has cracked . Avoids a soggy carpet . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
