added an angel to the nativity
added a 6 foot and a 4 foot "tree"

 

[actaeon277]

I did that instead of cleaning the gutters.

 

[GregD]

I really like the angel !
The last picture is very nice.

About bedtime here. LAFF has "The Ghost and Mr. Chicken" on, and that's about the best I can find to fall asleep to. G'night all!

 

[actaeon277]

I really like the angel !
The last picture is very nice.

I just tied them in to those lights at the foot of the big "tree of lights".
So, when they go on, the new trees go on.

Not heard any sleigh bells yet.

Possible reindeer sighting.

I like it!

I think when I took that pic, it was introducing the next song. And during that intro, I have all the lights lit.

Different intros have different sequences, while a voice says how many songs are playing, and what song/group is coming up.

 

[GregD]

Where all do you store all of that?

I haven't put the new lights/objects in the spreadsheet yet. But as of yesterday I had 4,950 light bulbs, and 1,650 feet of extension cables.

I know I added 30 feet of extension cable tonight.

angel has 70 lights
6 foot tree has 460 lights
4 foot tree has 270 lights..

So that brings me to
4950
....70
..460
..270

5750 lights total

 

[actaeon277]

Where all do you store all of that?

My shed in the back.
The snowblower is in the garage, and the riding mower goes on my trailer, also in the garage.
So, most of the blow molds fit in there. And I have somewhere around 24 totes to put the lights in, and they go in the shed.

 

[actaeon277]

I have 2 sheds in the back, one of them is for the pool.

I'm thinking of tearing them both down, and build a new one over the pool equipment, but build it big enough to also fit the christmas stuff, and the riding mower and snowblower

WoW
That is one very large project !

Evening folks back from the son's place. Had a very nice dinner and got to spend time with everybody.

Oh, it's not so bad.
Compared to some of the people I've seen on TV, or YouTube.


I have 4 controllers.
Each controller can operate 16 outputs.
I have 10 outputs not being used.


But this summer I'm making a change, and I need 12 more outputs (and I have only 10).
So I bought my 5th controller.
