A wood floor water damage stressor, as described by Deb.
"Godzilla our Christmas tree stand, is sturdy, very heavy, holds a good amount of water, but
I'm so worried about the hardwood floor that I laid down a heavy black plastic bag and two towels before placing the stand. Whoever refills the water every day gets a lecture
(every time) about being careful of the floor!
The presents are arranged in a way to prevent inadvertent bumping of the water jug.
Babysitting the floor is stressful!"
The Director of Wood Floor Conservancy responds:
You have a lovely floating floor, no pun intended...
(actually, I've been waiting to use that line, Deb.)
The garbage bags are a good idea, and I understand the towels.
I might suggest some sort of tray, like this one:
It's a hot water heater drip pan big enough to hold Godzilla. A pan with edges, of course, should give you peace of mind.
Couple this pan with a Gizmode and Deb, you've delivered your last lecture. Class dismissed, my dear.
Be sure to check the homepage on New Years Day for the winner announcement.
I am not drawing the winner, but I am rooting for you, and your floating floor.
Merry Christmas!
