I thought I was done for the year but I found 200 more lights and instead of just putting them up for next year I throw them on the house. I wish I had 10,000 more….

Well I think that’s it, I met my goal 10,000 lights and went over by100 lights. Now that’s COOL 10,000 lights, I plan on putting some more up but I’m happy and can stop if I want. Now if you don’t make it to my house this year, make plans on coming next year, I plan on doubling it for next year and having a all new computerized light show on 32 channels. Fun and bright, 20,000 lights next year, hope it comes fast, and hope to see you soon as well….

Couldn’t help myself, I when to Wal-Mart and got 4 spot lights and put them on the back of the house. You can see then in the picture, they light up all the trees so hopefully you will be able to see my house from the main drag by our house. So close to 10,000 lights hopefully by the end of the weekend ill be finished.

I got the roof done last night with a little headache, plugged in the last set of lights to finish the back of the roof and I was in total blackness. I had to stop and put in another 15amp breaker, glad I had a spare on hand. I put up 900 lights last night and 100 this morning.

Can we say that it was a nasty day today? Oh yes we can, I was on the roof today in the rain, and wind, at night, in the cold, playing with electricity, not so smart. Yes I am a little excited to be able to say I have 10,000 lights up, but I cant, I only can say that I have 7,900 lights up. Not bad for so far, I beat last years total already. I put up 700 lights on the back of the roof before my fingers went numb. I’m thinking that there needs to be more lights in the back. Yes?

There’s nothing like knowing that you just bought enough lights to total over 10,000 lights. WOOOHOOOO that’s so cool, I put up 700 lights today the purple ones on the tree. There is a total of 1,400 lights on this tree as well, 700 red and 700 purple. I’m closer to being done with the out side lights, how exciting for me and the family.

Well, well were back annoying all of the neighbors. I put in one more 15 amp breaker and I have another on standby just incase. Finished my tree in the front of the house, it alone has 1,400 lights, 700 green and 700 blue on two different channels so they come on and off independently. Glad to get some light back.

Got out some lights today with the help of my daughter Elizabeth, She untangled while I hung them up. A total of 900 were put up today from the house, to the roof and back down to the fence. First real night to have them on for awhile, four hours I felt was enough for the first night with all the blinking. Just wait till tomorrow, I fell sorry for everyone.
