Moderators dtel Posted December 6, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 6, 2009 December 25 is my wife's birthday so she likes everything Christmas including lights. She has enough Christmas decorating stuff in the house that it takes up about 10 of those big plastic boxes with the snapping lids to store everything after the holidays, about a truck load. 11,820 lights outside, it's spread out on 5- 20 amp breakers and took about 3 days to put out, my wifes Brother Claude did 90% of the lights, he seems to love doing it.

Moderators dtel's wife Posted December 6, 2009 Moderators Share Posted December 6, 2009 I just love Christmas!!! I really like seeing the Christmas lights lit up every night. Dtel and my brother did a great job. The effort and time they put into this project really means a lot to me. We live about 12 miles outside of "town" so it's not like a whole lot of folks will see the lights....but dtel and my brother did it for me!

Moderators dtel Posted December 7, 2009 Author Moderators Share Posted December 7, 2009 It has a trippy Alice In Wonderland thing going on . Well at night putting out lights if you look down toward all the lights on the lower plants it does tend to get you a little dizzy.

mark1101 Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 After having met the woman personally.........I think she deserves at least another 4000-5000 more lights Dtel......[]......but those look great as they are. You must be tired from all of that. Nice job and nice time of year for a B'day too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skonopa Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Beautiful!!! Do you have your FAA permit? It is probably a nice air traffic control beacon if visible at 20,000 feet LOLOL!!! The funny thing is, is that is not to far-fetched. When my parents where still living in Columbus, OH, my father used to put up a huge X-mas display like that. One night, my father was listening to his scanner, which was also able to pickup air-traffic radio traffic from the airport. Turned out that there were indeed pilots using my dad's X-mas display as a reference to find the approach to the airport! BTW, Awesome display DTel. Now, I just need to get off my *** to at least put up the Christmas tree! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
