Sure, I'll do the research, electronics, and buy all the shit... you hang all the lights.

If you want to do it the easy way, look up lightorama or dlight designs. There is also a third one, I forget their name.

If you want to do it the cheap DIY way (you will be building a ton of circuit boards from scratch including ordering every single part for them seperately), I can help you with that.

I am thinking about doing it next year.

I'll be doing it the easy way.

As it is, I spend more time than anyone on the block putting lights up and taking them down, I'm not going to turn it into a year long adventure.

Good mix of info on light setups and easy way stuff.

No matter what you do, you will be doing a lot of stuff yourself. The cool arches and fountain poles are all DIY setups.

that was awesome!

Trip, didn't realize you were actually moving as well. Good luck with that - I'm only about half way done.

Yeah, got that dam job in another dam city. Company helped me sell my house, paying closing both ways, moving us, and some other good stuff too. House is sold in Lenoir City, but the house we really wanted in Chatty was under contract when we found it and closed. So we are still looking for a house down there. Think we are going into an apartment for a few months. May have the builder who built the home we liked build a similar spec home for us, which could get us stuck in a stupid apartment til summer....

It's totally worth building - we just finished having ours built. Good luck!
