De Trommelslager Posted November 16, 2012 Share Posted November 16, 2012 First year actually doing a blinking display here. Small, simple and inexpensive are the goals for this year. Mrs. Trommelslager hasn't exactly bought off on the whole animated display idea, at least yet. Also want to see how the neighbors take to it (they may not know what they are in for) and get and idea about traffic volume. I realize it will build throughout the season and year to year, but I haven't the foggiest clue where that line starts.Built frames for the windows and wrapped most of them with lights today. Mega tree frame work has been assembled and put in place; lights to be added next week. Making lots of progress, but have quite a bit still left. So far, everything is going smoothly. Just waiting for Mr. Murphy to show up and lend a hand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

k6ccc Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 It rained most of the day today, so I spent a while up in my attic completing a conduit path from the far back end of the house (where the show computer is) to the front wall of the attic. In the next few days it will get Cat-5 cable for the E1.31 network up to the 12 string pixel tree. Supposed to stop raining Sunday morning so I might get something done outside tomorrow...

Aaron Maue Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 Almost done! Had a couple of strands that needed replacing. Got those done today. Did our dry run lat Saturday. Worked great (minus those 2 strands, that is). Tomorrow, I'm gonna record my voice overs and get them laid into the show. That'll be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett H. Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 After some help from my fellow LOR'ers I can go live on thanksgiving. I greatly appreciate everyones help. Work for me should be easing up in a few more weeks. i hope at least. I do need to get some sequences fixed in the next couple of days. For some strange reason my Amazing Grace sequence from last year is missing some things. Not sure what happened but shouldnt be a hard fix. Hoping I dont have a virus of some sort that has been deleting portions of my sequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
