I put up the tree two nights ago. Timelapse camera. Didn't think of using the camera until I had already set up the tree and hung the lights. Putting the lights on takes the longest.
I wore nitrile gloves, hoping they would keep the skin on my hands from getting irritated and dry. They don't seem to have helped much, if any, though. Yesterday and today, my hands have been ouch-y dry, like fine sandpaper.
