Still working on the cosmetics portion. Need any info, just P.M. me. My pavers and deck have been ripped up for 4 months, maybe they will get those done by Christmas. Who needs a deck and pavers during the summer anyway?? Now I go out and sit in a chair in the sand, kinda like the beach! No songs done yet, think I got the layout done, thought about starting to build new elements, but have not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Showalter Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 I'm a little less than half way ready. About half the sequencing is done. About half of the lights and display elements are purchased and constructed. Six new controllers have been purchased. I still have two shooting towers, two more arches, seven mini-trees and seven 6 ft trees to light with three colors each. Another 10 ft. tree to build along with a support structure for seven 3 ft. snowflakes that are on the UPS truck right now. I have to find a better way to mount (display) the "tune-in" FM sign and I'm waiting for Paul's summer sale that starts July 5th for another 9 cases of LEDs. I think I'll have to look for the iPhone version of Jeff's Countdown Widget so each day I can put a little more pressure on myself. Good thing this is all for fun!

TJ Hvasta Posted June 22, 2011 Share Posted June 22, 2011 This year? THIS YEAR?? I'm still behind from LAST year!! I'm just reusing/reordering the songs I have now, 11 best ones and several that need resequencing.. the wife wants that mannequin christmas angel for the yard display and I'm really torn spending $150+ on a full mannequin that may disappear.. plus I still have to figure out how best to do the Pirates of the Caribbean 4 theme for Halloween (24' Black Pearl & Blackbeard).A new Mega-tree, have to build 8 more mini's, take down a real tree outta the yard.. It'd be easier just buying a new house :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightsinMaine Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 I really need to get my rear in gear...... I have painting projects all over the house this summer just been procrastinating. Just realized vacation at the end of the month then it'll be August already. I have supplies I've bought to build stuff but nothing put together just yet. Still need the summer sale to get the rest of what I need. Will be reprogramming songs at the last minute same as last year...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LORi P Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 OK - you might have had a choice between thinking about starting and 1/2 finished. Something like 10% done would be more like it for me. I need the forum to go down for a couple of months. I spend more time lurking than working on my display. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arnoldc Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 I'm moving right along. I have all my lights, got an order of all my tsp wire in, 10 songs sequenced, tune to sign done, transmitter up and running. Wreath is in the works, a few add ons being debated, need 2 more trees. All in all I would cautiousily say ahead of schedule. Probably short term since I took on a little Halloween project now.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wbottomley Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 The pressure for me is really taking a toll. Right now, I have many distractions that it's hard to get everything completed for this year.But, the show will go on as planned with or without some things.
