95%

Worked like a dog this weekend...and enjoyed every minute of it! Put up the rest of the light show components including the mega-tree. We moved it out of the garage and put 32 100 count light strings on it...yes that's 3200 lights. It looks awesome.

We plugged in most of the extension cords (we still need 5 permanent ones)and ran a test of the show. It works....It works....IT WORKS!

We'll put the finishing touches on it between now and Saturday, 11-25, but as of this moment, TIStheSimpsons is on track and ready to go!

Now I'm going to bed!

Been busy...


It's been almost a month since my last post, but I've have a good reason. I've been very busy! Work continues on the sequences, the mega tree is just waiting to be moved to it's home outside, half the lights for it have been purchased; I just need 15 more sets. Thank heavens for Wal-mart! I exchanged the red lights with white wires for red lights with green wires. Now I just need the rest of the leaves to fall off the tree. If it doesn't happen soon I may be forced to do it by hand!?!? We have purchased almost all of the 44 extension cords we need, and I've purchased the rubbermaid tote to hold the controller that will go on the porch. Jeremy came over last Saturday and strung the lights on the roof peaks which happen to be 30 feet above ground. That's him in the picture! This weekend I'll be putting up more lights and laying extension cords. So far everything is on schedule for the 11/25/06 debut. 17 days!
