Amen. I have been dark for over a week wrestling with issues. First it was CAT 5, then it was power cables, then it was the HOA lawn service cutting my show, then it was controllers all in the wrong place. None of these things has happened in 7 years. This year - it all happens. Keep pushing. In the end it is worth it.
Good luck. And remember, it is supposed to be fun. That helps sometimes.
