'chickenwire'

Urban Dictionary definition (US) "Chicken Wire" is a 100% universal word, however it was originally fully intended to be used as a substitute for any word that describes "Awesome" or to be used as a substitute for any word that you would use as an expression that describes "Feeling Awesome" since its inception it has morphed into sometimes being used as a substitute for "any word" and sometimes being said Very Loud! For no reason at all. Legend has it that Chicken Wire was invented in the Midwest by a guy named Tim from the Hood in St. Charles Missouri. It is Awesome to use especially when you can't think of the word that you would like to use, just simply replace the word that you can't think of at the time with Chicken Wire and watch your friends and or other people around you try and figure out what the heck you’re talking about. Very Important never tell anyone what it means! Let them figure it out on their own! This is part of the Mystery and Fun that comes along with using Chicken Wire as you use the word your friends will start to use the word also even though they have no idea what it means or why you use the term Chicken Wire Cannot find any mention of it in UK Dictionary- Chicken -feed , which I associated with it first of all means : a small amount of money.

Cable ties chain for the trunk?

I made small sample of the tree trunk with 'Cable Ties', bought at Layland.
I am thinking now it is better to built the trunk with only the cable ties, for both of trees in basement gallery and ground floor cafe. Because the trunk made of cable ties is strong enough to keep structure hanging mirrors and transparent vinyl sheet etc, and the colour is beautiful which is translucent and near white coulor. What do you think?


Samples of strings to make the tree

Went to whole sale shops on 9th Feb to look for materials of the tree.

SPARKS! -Electrical Cable Supplier

Thank you for inviting me to the blog, I think its a great idea, thank you for setting it up!

At the local electricity shop, SPARKS Electrical Wholesalers today, to check about their cables, and made great discovery! When I asked how much the thin green and yellow wire in their selection of cables costs, he said this is not wire these are just sleevings, much cheaper because they don't have the copper inside.

The lovely, GYS3 is 2mm thick and £7.68 incl.VAT per 100m the sky blue just 4mm thick £18 per 100m!

He made me pay for the sample, but got much more interested once
asked the price for
100m!
