Guest Don Gillespie Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 You didn't include in your poll (just about finished only a couple more to go) so I couldn't participate, I am pretty much done for this year besides waiting for the summer sale and purchasing some controllers and maybe some CCB's other than that ready to go.

Don Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Haven't even gotten as far as figuring out what design I'm going with this year. (Which means I've done nothing else on the display.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGabriel Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 Hard to get started with DST and all the thing to do outside. Gardening, boating and clean out the garage for more lights and projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightzilla Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 The farthest I got was about 6 songs that I did the timing marks for. I too am not all that fired up. After looking at snow & enduring cold for 6 straight months........I lost interest knowing that the cooler weather is just 3 to 4 months away before the really cold weather sets in.The take down was over in late April but set up begins in Sept.I just want to enjoy what puny warm weather we will have for a bit & hopefully in a couple of months I will perk up some.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2011 Share Posted June 2, 2011 My excuse, I do Halloween, then Christmas, but the biggest excuse is I don't have anywhere or room to build new items living in a dadburn apartment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownOut Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I've made most of the power cords I will need and mounted tie downs for them all over the house.Added 3 new circuit breakers and 6 outlets around the house.Dug holes and poured cement around poles for my front yard winter projector screen.Drove my wife crazier and now I'm banned from talking about lights.Installed outdoor speakers on the house and built an antenna for the radio transmitter on the chimney.Purchased most of the supplies except CCB and CCFs. Just working on sequencing now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I'm moving faster than last year...but still locking down design and plans...I consdier myself "mildly behind schedule.."..My two main excuses:Its already 90 degrees in FL every day...how the hell do you think about Christmas in those temps?I still have to fly to Jim's neck of the woods every 2-3 weeks...no time to think about lights...All that said, all but one rainbow floods are done, last two controllers (for now) need to be built...for now, all lights are purchased, pending a mega-tree decision..so summer sale purchases will be small...DC board, and maybe a few more controller cards.I feel good about that until I look at what is left to do...**I will say my family is more understanding of the project this year than last. I have a new 200A panel in my "front front yard", that I have finally had time to get wired..had some time last night after work/dinner to do some work on it. When I came back inside, my 9 year old said "that thing you were working on is for Christmas lights, right?.."... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I've been slowly working on my motion lights,got a 12 channel candy can pinwheel made, and soldered 10 RGB spots and 2 new flood lights.Also built one DC controller housing.Have most of my stuff built, just need to make wiring harnesses and a few more enclosures.Here is the kick in the butt though, I haven't done any sequencing!!! I need to get on it pronto! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaceMedic Posted June 3, 2011 Share Posted June 3, 2011 I try and get ALL my sequencing done this time of year.Enjoy the summer months and then when CDI delivers my purchase I start building my new items for the year.Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
