tombo82685 Posted December 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2014 this is mine, my yard is to big to get it all on my camera. Hoping to get a little snow on these before I take them down in January. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
famartin Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 That's a big house for one dude, what do you do with all that extra space? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastonwx Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 What a pain it would be to take down all those displays when embedded in 6" of glacier ice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tombo82685 Posted December 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 What a pain it would be to take down all those displays when embedded in 6" of glacier ice! Well when that happens, I usually wait till it melts, whenever it does. It takes like a day to take it all down and 2.5 days to do it all.

mshaffer526 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 Very nice display! For the stuff in the yard do you just run an outdoor extension cord underground or above ground? I need to stock up on extension cords and the like for next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It puts me into the holiday spirit! Great job btw! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It puts me into the holiday spirit! Great job btw! I usually start the day after thanksgiving, but we had 3-4 inches of snow snow on the ground, so I couldn't. The following weekend we had a rainstorm, so it was this past weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it comes to Christmas, no light display is lame, its the thought that matters.. It's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year Ray.

Baseball0618 Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 First attempt at the new house. Just a little more to go to match Tombo's festiveness! The wife has a no colored light rule in effect though so that is a real handicap! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't put colored lights on there either. That house gives off that old stone look. Lots of white lights and wreaths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnc Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 this is mine, my yard is to big to get it all on my camera. Hoping to get a little snow on these before I take them down in January. Mine looks exactly like that, except with lights only around the door.

heav Posted December 18, 2014 Report Share Posted December 18, 2014 I love the sideways Christmas tree, I can only do that with my eye glasses. An upside down, doing it the Polish way, tree would have been way toooo easy. I figured I'd start an Eastern U.S. trend and try the sideways tree. Trying to get it to go viral and trend on Twitter, all at once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
