Santas Helper Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Okay, now back to Christmas set-up which starts right away. I cleaned out the garage for prep work today and stowed all the Halloween stuff away. The next 3 weeks will be busy, busy, busy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had low 60's today and on vacation, so I got a lot done today. I plugged in a couple mini's as a work light in the dark to work on my border lights. Quite a few people stopped by to talk about the lights and can't wait to see the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a few people stopped by to talk about the lights and can't wait to see the show.Jim,I bought the trees at Spirit Halloween Store in 2010 at 50% off but modified them with green cardboard and added lights inside them and added camo netting with lights on the outside. I haven't seen them since. Wished I bought a couple more but that's all they had in my area.I used LOR with 24 channels to "Nightmare on Elm Street" audio. I started setting it all up at about 11am, finished at 6pm and took it down after it was all over (I'm paranoid about getting things of this nature stolen or tore up). But I also like to flip the neighbors out having it all tucked away before sunrise . Makes them think to themselves, did that happen last night? Now the garage is ready for season #2. The neighbors sloooooowly drive by when the garage door is up, knowing I am working on something for the upcoming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffF Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Got the roof outlined a couple weeks ago and then got busy and then sick. I'm hoping for wreaths, icicles, and snowflake trails by the end of the week and then some yard items over the weekend.I also want to try a small Weber tree or two for this year but only if I have time.
