I am starting with my son this year, 2010, to do a show for both holloween and Christmas. I was wondering how the best way to start would be. By this I mean, how many lights and what is the best configuration to start with. RIght now I have about a thousand lights, all white. As many of us, I am tight on the money, and am looking to make sure my son likes this before going full bore into it.
So, I had an idea of doing the basic lights from the eve, outline the windows, and maybe some on the roof, but not sure what would look good. I have a small single story house, will have a pic tomorrow if anyone wants to see. The music will start out with something basic, like Jingle Bells, as I want my 10 year old to do all of the work. From soldering to programming the lights. This will give him a stake in what he is doing.
Ok, well that is my long winded question.
Thanks and Merry Christmas to all of you,
Charles and Kendall
