JeffF Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I'm going to be putting in a couple of concrete tree supports tomorrow and I'd just like to start setting up the trees while I'm at it. I keep thinking about this, that, and the other and I just want to start *doing* already. Not sure if I can wait two more months before I start. (going to have almost everything up in early November just so I can work the kinks out of the sequences)So... anyone else getting a wee-bit-antsy? :cool: Only real project I have left is wrapping lights on four more 5' trees. I've already done five so the last four should be too bad.-Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rwertz Posted August 30, 2008 Share Posted August 30, 2008 I still have plenty to do. But I’m getting very anxious to get the lights out.We’re doing Halloween with LOR this year. Hopefully that will hold me over a little. I set the pumpkins and some other blowmolds up in the den this week to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I'm doing Halloween for the first time this year, 64 channels, and I'm not done yet. My Christmas setup from last year is still at 32 channels, and I have not had the time to add any sequencing or construct anything for it yet.

bossgroove Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I think I was given the LOR bug from somebody in June, and purchased my controllers during the sale. I have posted some of my sequences online. (Still waiting for any kind of feedback)I have a general plan. This month - Finish shows. October - finish building arches, mini trees, and mega tree pieces. Finish buying lights. Hey, I started in the middle of the year.November, build show.

iresq Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 I have a lot of sequencing to update do to doubling my channels. I am anxiously awaiting word on possible firmware/effects update before I start.This will, no doubt, put me further behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbors now think I'm TOTALLY OFF MY ROCKER!! I love this time of the year! Good luck to everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeffF Posted November 7, 2009 Author Share Posted November 7, 2009 Thought I'd bring this thread back from the dead since I took pictures *today* and then I looked at the pictures I took *last year* in this thread and man they look similar. We added a single snowflake trail last year and we liked it so much we added two more. The only thing I have left to do on the trail to the left is paint the wood black so it doesn't stand out as much.Tomorrow the 6'2" Bethlehem Star is going on the roof and hopefully the 21' mega-tree will be going up as well.Fun, fun, FUN!!!

We bought them from http://www.snowflakesinmotion.com/ but they are sold out now. Shame because they are awesome flakes for the money.-Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
