I have been decorating big for over 20 years, animated since 2005. There have been a couple years that I haven't been motivated but once I start setting up, the excitement starts growing. Due to health issues with my wife, we are looking at next year as our final year for a big display. I have a lot of mixed feeling about it.

I love that movie.

Easier way. Create a 10 second blank animation sequence and insert it between your musical sequences.

I do exactly that. I think it's a no for question two.

I have quite a few using this setup. Let me know if you are interested and I'll send some your way. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PbVZf4NNSTU

That looks like a pretty basic setup. Shouldn't take long to do. I on the other hand start about Oct 15.

I used to use my stage moniters for outdoor speakers, which are quite directional. While I didn't get any complaints from my immediate neighbors, I got a police complaint from a half block away from someone who said the music was rattling their windows. Redirecting the speaker about an inch solved it.

Now let’s name everyone’s display. First was Holdman’s.

I bought four of those flame lights. I like em.

Check out this thread for some good insight.

NH here.

I usually end up pulling the plugs off of a couple things while getting them out of the ice, but no problems with extensions waiting till spring.

You’ve made great creative choices. Nice job.

Love a happy ending.

Simple answer. Yes, lights have always flickered at my house.
