I saw your show and Deck The Lawn in Round Rock. I told myself i have to do this. I bought a controller sequenced 4 songs. I set my lights up in my back yard(Not all Lights) and watch the show. LOL My wife said i was gay. I am glad i did that because I found allot of mistakes. This will be my first Yr with LOR. I think we should start our own chapter in Round Rock.:] I can't wait to see your show next yr.

Jim Saul Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I'm just about finished getting my 2010 show put away and making the list of things to fix.you guys are making me look bad!I have done the hardest part for this year. I got my wife to agree to the 2 more controllers for the last sale, and 1 CCR for the summer sale. Based on that, I'm going to use the CCR for 2 arches, and 1 controller for some form of a 16 channel small mega-tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Rise Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I working on Sequences, working on my portable distribution panel, and need to wire up the 240v/50amp outlet to plug it in to.I'm hoping to purchase more lights. I still need green. I'm losing hope in my last order and am beginning to think that I got scammed.Anyone else purchase lights and still waiting for them to arrive?I've never pre ordered lights, so I have no idea what to expect.

B-Rock Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Started initial sequencing February, but in full force working on Halloween props. I have built my 3 singing pumpkin faces, a cemetery fence (40ft), torn down several pallets and assembled tombstones, and my wife just started working on the paper mache pumpkin heads. Found that Lowe's had 85W red and green flood lights on sale and picked up a few of those. My sequencing hasn't come along as nicely as I wanted. I have about 2 sequences done out of about 12. As the props finish up, I should be able to dedicate more time to my sequence/song list. Trying to meet my deadline of June 30th. July 1st starts my Christmas prep. Starting to sweat it!Brock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

China is having more problems with labor in their factories and ship dates are getting pushed back farther than I have ever seen. On about May 10 our container of incandescent mini lights and the LED dripping icicle lights will ship from China. On about May 25 our container of incandescent C-goods (regular C-7 & C-9 lights) will ship. On about May 20 our container of LED retro fit lamps & dripping retro fit lamps will ship. Finally, on about June 15 our container of LED rope light and green cord spools, including zip cord will ship. The LED net lights will be mixed with one of those containers (still waiting on conformation). Remember it takes about 4 - 5 weeks after they are shipped to get here. As soon as we receive the containers, order will be filled and shipped to you. Thanks for your patience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nurples Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 I've got 8 songs done and working on a few more. Seems the more I sequence the more ideas I get for the completed songs and continue to go back and make small adjustments. I've got 3 of 4 arches done, will have the 4th done in July when I make it home on vacation. I plan on building one of those 17' reindeer too!I'm still in need of 7k Red and 7k green lights... Guess I'll have to wait till wal-mart stocks them for the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
