We must not have been home when they did the Santa run this year


Finally got the tree done with a day to spare, looking up from the floor, yes, the angel's head is touching the ceiling

so happy you found a solution for the root ball.. it looks great!!!

Wow! rootball? It that one going in the ground?

Yes being planted out.

Wonderful!!!! That's why the angel seems to be hitting the ceiling...angel is just nodding in respect.

I was so worried about turning the speakers & lights on for new years.. you know ticking off a neighbor or whatever.. and one of the homes around the block were shooting off mortar fireworks.. sheesh.. what the heck was I worried about???!!!???.. so we were glad we did what we did.. bad news is I think we were the only ones watching after

went to go see this house a few mins away last night

Wow! How were the 'sky strings' suspended?

the guys works for the power company.. he has access to the bucket truck.. some were just tied there.. and the sprays with multiple strings.. were attached to pulleys.. those were not just at his house.. they are hung all over the neighborhood... the set across the street from his house.. there was a rope slug across the top of the tree.. and a pulley on each end.. think there were 5 stings attached on either side of the tree and all the way to the ground.. he has a few power panels AND generators attached to the house.. they can't supply him with the power he pulls.. I will see if I can find the good article about the house for you

of course I couldn't find it.. but here is a video

When will you find out how you did on the tacky tour, Allison?

it closes on the 8th.. but it doesn't look good so far .. not too many votes this year .. think the site was too messed up

I had a lot of trouble with it. I would complain about it if I were you. Last year it was hard getting on, but this year worse.

yeah way worse.. he changed servers this year.. I think.. and made the site "more fancy" big mistake if you ask me.. how can I complain about someone doing this for free???.. I can't

Yeah it had some severe issues I think he also needs a new web designer

he does this all for us for free.. sent me a trophy & a book he wrote.. free.. too nice for me to say anything that's for sure.. but I do agree.. I think using the fancy scripts now is hurting the site.. they just don't work.. I tried to upload a video and it won't go through.. and tells me it's already on the system.. but I will give it some time .. maybe he will fix it

thanks for the votes.. but no winner this year

Hopefully they will make the site easier to get around next year.
