Sounds like a plan.. :) Thanks. It's at my parents house right now, my Mom put
wrapping paper around it so you can't see how messy it looks. :) I'll have to 
go over and fill it this weekend. Hopefully it won't go tru their ceiling! 
They have a pretty old house. I'm not sure how much it wieghs when it's full, 
only that it's too heavy to move.
