rcktpwrd Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Took some videos with a cell phone while sitting in the car, so sorry about the quality... but it gives a decent idea of how it all looks.

Last year I froze my butt off for 6 hrs on a cold windy afternoon wrapping 24 strands of lights around 3 birch trees in front of our house (each tree was 8 channels). So I can't imagine how long it would have taken to do the same for 29 trees! I didn't want to go through that again this year so I made three 8-channel firesticks instead (inside the comfort of my home lol). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcktpwrd Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 (edited) It took us about half a day to hang the lights on all the trees, my wife did most of them alone while I was at work... It took lots of hours of prep to get to that point! We mounted all of the light strings to plastic mesh and then the mesh is held to the trees with some bungee cords. check here for some pics: http://forums.lightorama.com/topic/47599-started-setting-up-this-weekend/?tab=comments#comment-440879 Edited November 24, 2018 by rcktpwrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
