We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Though we didn't all of our new songs ready for the show this year, we hope that you all still enjoyed the show!
We will be running the show until New Years day so if you haven't had the opportunity to see it, you have a little longer. We will keep running the show everyday from 5:00 to 11:00.
Hope everyone has a great Christmas and safe travels!

Technical Difficulties...
Hi all!!
First of all, we want to thank you all for coming out and supporting us. Unfortunately, our lights are not working properly. Mike is out of town for business and of course as soon as he goes away the lights are not functioning properly. I have tried little tweeks and reuploads, but some of the lights will not come back on. I am assuming it was from the rain the other evening and something tripped, but hopefully we will get the full show back up and running.
Thank you for your patience! Happy Holidays!

Progress...
Hi there!!
Well the lights are up and running now and we will be making minor tweaks to the show and may add an additional song this week.
Good news is that we received our new sign for our lights!! It features our website and a mobile barcode to scan that brings it to this site.
We are quite busy around here and may tend to the inside of the house, but stay tuned for new updates and a few new features to our show that we didn't have last year.

The Show Has Begun...well sort of
So it took every second of daylight to get things wired up. I am pleased to say everything is pretty much done. There are some new small trees we placed in front that still need some lights but that aside, the show it running.
Right now the 2011 show will be playing and by the end of next weekend I hope to have at least one new song sequenced. We are also waiting on our new yard sign to arrive so be on the lookout!
This is the first week so we are still working out some kinks bare with us while we work everything out. If there is a song you would like to see added please let us know and we add it to our list of possibilities.

Busy day today, got mostly everything on the ground installed, most of the ladder work as well. Just some icicles to hang, one more window to outline, and the garage to outline. Then we have to get everything wired up and connected, which takes about 4 hours alone. We are still hopeful to have at least last years sequence up and running by Sunday night.
Though not as large of a show this year, we have added a few small items. We still are running about 50% LED and 50% incandescent lights. We lost track of how many lights we have up but an approx 10,000 lights. There are only 32 channels of DMX controlled lighting, but we have about 160 more channels in controllers not yet built.
Things got a little crazy this year so we didn't have the time to get a lot of parts ordered before the holiday season, if everything goes according to plan next year we hope to have individual controlled LED lights which means that every single light can be uniquely controlled and can have almost any color we want.
It takes an average about a week to sequence a new song depending on the complexity and as our channels grow so does the time to sequence. With the possibility of being able to control each light independently, we are looking at thousands of channels to deal with so our sequence time will probably go up to 2-3 weeks per song.
