Electricity is Coming...

Our good friend, Ed, is wiring the house for the christmas lights. We are adding 3 additional 30 amp circuits; one for each of the controllers. He's also running the CAT5 cable for the connections between the controllers. It's always good to get an expert's opinion because he was able to suggest an alternative way to place the controllers so that only 1 of three would be exposed to the elements. All three are strategically positioned to minimize the amount/length of extension cords we will need to run; we'll still need many, many feet, but it will be much less than originally thought. The only downside is that the cost of the wire and circuits was higher than I had anticipated so my budget for additional items has been seriously depleted. Oh well...there's always next year!
