This was my first year with a Christmas light show. Here is a video You are not allowed to view links.

It was a good learning experience. I was only rained out 2 nights, what is the deal with that? I live in Utah and we are suppose to have snow not rain. November is not to late to start, just don't expect to accomplish everything you planned. I didn't finish assembling my SSR4's until the first week of December. I learned that you do not need to have each light perfectly aligned, most people will not notice. I learned that even with my limited experience I can assemble electronics and have them work afterwards. I built 10 SSR4's and had only 1 bad solder joint. I am having an issue with 2 different channels both coming on at the same time, I am thinking I may have a bridged solder joint, haven't looked yet.
Sequencing is hard! Thanks to those that have shared their sequences I had a show this year. I downloaded several sequences and adapted those to my layout.
I am really looking forward to Christmas 2011. So much to do, so little time to do it.
