Day 7...

11/28 - Worked on stuff for about 4 hours today, but mostly cosmetic stuff. I got a lot accomplished, but I still have a couple more hours to go to be happy with it being "finished." Most of what's left is wiring things right, and I need to make a run to get cords for what's outstanding, but I wasn't even going close to a store on Black Friday!

Here's a list of items I tackled today:

Put out Frosty the snowman. Frosty is our oldest decoration and is about 6-7 years old now.

















I trimmed the gargantuan shrub in the front of the house to make it about the same size as the others.













I also put up the net lights on the 3 bushes in the front, but it appears one is not working, so we'll add that to the list for the store. I also put up the multi-colored rope lights on the porch.











I decided to put up lights on the roofline of the south side of the house, and climbed up there and ran red rope lights for the entire surface, and blue icicle lights for about half, as I ran out of working strings. These are on the list for the store run tomorrow.

I also ran as many cords to the right channel as I can with my current ridiculous amount of extension cords, and did some clean up/cord management.

I have all three Light Controllers enabled now, and in their homes in the garage.

I hooked up the iPod and FM transmitter, and wired it all. On the list for tomorrow is also an extension for the 1/8" jack to run to the auxilary port in the second controller on the opposite side of the garage.







The one I have now reaches, but just barely and is exposed to cars running over it, which will not do.












I also put out the sign from last year telling people to tune to 88.7 for the music. I will most likely do a new sign this year and post hours for the lights once I get them on a timer.
