aegault Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 We still have a few more elements to add tomorrow, but my husband couldn't wait (didn't believe that it was going to work that well I think) and by golly, it's AWESOME! It's our first year, just 32 channels, but I'm in LUV- we have six songs split with audio clips from A Christmas Story and literally in the first 10min we had it on we had people stopping in front of our house watching it while WE watched it. (in the past we had one of those 'Lights and Sounds of Christmas' boxes so people in the 'hood knew we had good lights but this of course blows that one OUT of the water) So happy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aegault Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 Thanks! And holy bejeezers! I ran out of lamp cord- I bought 1000ft! About 200 short- have two elements left to light on the shooting star and my dripping icicles and the top row of icicles. Hoping Home Depot has some in stock. (if not, we probably have enough extension cords to run them from years past when we weren't doing this type of display) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mega Arch Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 My Home Depot hasn't been carrying SPT1 - just SPT2.But luckily Lowes has both SPT1 and SPT2.Pick up the correct size to match your plugs. Congrats on getting the show up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dl20415 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 This is also my first year, and I drastically underestimated my wire needed! I'm now very close to 2 miles of spt1, had to finish up with extension cords! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Hancock Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Congratulations! We've all experienced the "extension cord crisis management" at one time or another. Cheers and share videos if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
