Mark Showalter Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Thanks everyone. I had a lot of very nice comments from the people I know who saw the show. I got to meet a lot of neighbors during the teardown. They were all very appreciative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They look really good.The seven 6 ft. trees to the left of the Weber tree are metal trees I purchased used. I stripped off all the old incandescent lights, painted the framework green then wrapped each with the white, red and green LEDs. There's about 2,300 total lights on each.I will say it did take forever to wrap those trees but they were one of the easiest things to put out in the display. I just had to put them in place and attach the guy wires. We get a lot of wind.Here's an earlier post about those same trees...http://forums.lightorama.com/forum82/27506.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
