We have “snow” on our roof….

Author: Ken | Filed under: Lights, Projects Friday Nov 14,2008

It might not be the kind that fell from the sky, but we have snow flakes on our roof. We got them up there earlier tonight. One of my elves, Bob, went above (litterally) and beyond this afternoon. We had to finish making the stands for all 11 flakes and then get all of this, […]

Starting to deploy the lights…

Author: Ken | Filed under: Lights, Projects Friday Nov 7,2008

Got our two 6 foot wire trees finished after adding an additional 1000 lights to each (500 of both red and green to go along with the 350-450 white lights that were already one each) and they are now out in the yard, secured in place. Also got the outline traced for Bethlehem Star and […]

Building Mini Trees…

Author: Ken | Filed under: Lights, Projects Monday Oct 20,2008

So I stopped by Michael’s on Saturday and picked up a few 30 inch wire easels and got to work on making some Mini Tress. Each tree will have 210 lights, that’s 3 strings of 70 LED’s, which are super bright, each string a different color, Red, Green and White. The plan is to have […]

We’ve got lights!

So after a few days of spraying primer, paint and then wrapping rope lights on the finished frame… we’ve got lights! The video below was taken, again, by my cell phone. While not that greatest, I think it shows enough to see how they turned out and a few things we can do with them […]

More Snowflakes..

Author: Ken | Filed under: Lights Monday Oct 6,2008

So yesterday I sprayed some primer on the snowflakes and then I painted them and after a couple coats, they looked pretty good black. Today I took the time to figure out how to put the rope lights on them. The 1st one took me just over an hour to do. Between learning how to […]

I See Snowflakes…

Author: Ken | Filed under: Lights, Projects Friday Oct 3,2008

Ok, so maybe it’s not the white kind that fall from the sky, but they are still snowflakes. Spent several hours in the workshop with a couple of my elves today (Mike & Bob) putting together some rope light snowflakes. We had no idea what we were really doing to begin with but with some […]

Change in plans…

Author: Ken | Filed under: Lights, Projects Monday Sep 29,2008

After spending a few days working on a 3 colored “Merry Christmas” sign we decided to scrap those plans for this year cause it was going to take way too much time to complete. So we decided to go with a single color for each word, “Merry” being green and “Christmas” being red. Saturday I […]

Getting things started…

Author: Ken | Filed under: Lights, Projects Tuesday Sep 23,2008

Started making our “Merry Christmas” sign. Got our first “M” almost done. Gonna have to go back and reposition a few lights, but other than that I am pretty happy with it. Its made by poking holes in a piece of coroplast and pushing lights into the holes. Normally you would only do 1 color […]
