Nurples Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I just wanted to share my bad luck story. Okay, so it's my first year doing an animated display. I've already done 7 sequences for my house and I'm about to pay an electrician $800 to install outlets to power it all.Now, just last night, I received notice that I'm PCSing (changing military duty stations) AKA Moving!!!! I'm being moved from Fort Drum, NY to Fort Benning, GA in May. This is a good thing as the snow in NY will prolly cover most of my lights anyways. It's a bad thing because now I will have a new house and I'll have to redesign everyting.Luckily I'm having the outlets installed as a portable panel on the wall. This way it will not be a total waste of money as I will be able to take it down and take the panel with me.I still plan on having the display this year! WooHoo!

Guest Don Gillespie Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Also if you are really lucky the new place you are going to move into might look or match your existing house now it might be close enough that you can use your sequences you can only hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Saul Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 It will be a good move and you have a brand new audience to wow lot of the cadets from West Point were there for airborne training last month.Other than the humidity everyone liked it better than Highland Falls.

Nurples Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Don't worry... Every house I look at will have specific attention to detail about exterior of the house and how the lights will work with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
