Nice!
I have never been a blowmold guy, but I really like the soldiers guarding the walkway. The colors are so bright.
You are lucky you had dry weather.
Now it's RJ's turn to post some pictures.

Thanks John

I took today off just because the weather is suppose to get cold and wet soon. I was hoping to get more done but when the back says its done, I am done :(

I don't except to see any setup pictures from RJ. He likes to dazzle us with everything lit and running

Look really nice. Newbie question: what are the short posts in the ground on either side of the walk way for? Inquiring minds want to know.

      Thanks, Keith :)

Hi Keith,

They are rebar which I have 16 pvc trees that goes on top (currently 2 colors, hoping to convert to Smart String) and 4 light arches.

Here is a shot of the trees last year before the snow storm hit

Here I was thinking it was an elaborate booby trap type of impaler to stop people from seeing "how it is set up" before it is done and the added bonus of stopping solicitors  ;D


On a side note, nice set up and it will be cool to see how it comes together along with Bill's.

Man that looks sweeeeet!! I have also been thinking (ok dreaming and drooling) about smart strings. I have an idea taken from the grinch using the smart strings to look like I am shooting lights onto the house. This will of course be for next year. Thanks again, Keith

Looking good Rick!  But I fully expected everything to be elevated six feet off the ground to mitigate last year's experience...  ;D

Greetings,,,

Looks good.  Always like that sidewalk.

You just need remote controlled risers with a snow detector...

Hi Folks

The wife woke me up early today. So I could work on the light show before the rain started. I guess I am done for today since its still raining and we have to get ready to her parents house for dinner.

Here is today's progress. Nothing is powered up yet but getting close.

Cheers

Rick R.
