plasmadrive Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 Up in the bucket truck to take down the lights.. Last thing left to take down... been putting it off for a month and a half... This will take most of the day.. A#@$#^$%^$% So who else has stuff up that they just didn't want to get around to taking down? I don't mean that is frozen in the ice and snow.. but you just didn't want to get to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeERWNC Posted February 16, 2014 Share Posted February 16, 2014 I feel for you... My wife and I took down our stuff New Year's Day. It took all day. I need to find more ways to streamline since 2014 I doubled my light count. One nice thing is that my Christmas trees can unbolt from their platforms and hang from the floor joist under the house. I would rather have a basement, but ten feet of enclosed crawl space works great for storage. I still have 60 LED mesh lights in a ball in the garage all zip tied together... I just cut the strings and let my twenty foot talking star slide down the roof to the ground. He weighs about fifty pounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plasmadrive Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 Finally finished pulling down the 18,000 so so light off the redwoods. They have gotten too tall, can't even come close to reaching the tops sny more from the bucket truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aemnky Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 90% of my display is still up. Been wet/snow every weekend or if its been nice I have not done any of it yet. It takes so long to put up I kinda don't want to bother with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caniac Posted February 17, 2014 Share Posted February 17, 2014 mine was easy, high winds blew it all down so no climbing or intense labor needed. if it didn't break we kept it, if it did then it went to the trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zman Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 With yesterday being a day off for me, I finally got the reminder of the x-cords off the lawn, the RGB Tree pixels strings off the frame, (they are the TC pixels so they are now getting cut off the risers to be thrown away!) The only remaining lights that are still up, are in my "Procrastination Tree" I have to get inside that tree to remove the lights. Waiting for a fairly dry day to do that. So I am 99.5% on Tear Down!

lightzilla Posted February 18, 2014 Share Posted February 18, 2014 My ccr Matrix is still up but my wife wants it down so she can watch the birds. It is not hard to take down but I have more pressing matters to contend with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Hall Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 All my lights are still up on the roof/gutter. Have to wait for the snow/ice to clear from the ground where I need to put the ladder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
