Yesterday I started putting up lights for my Christmas display. Everybody kept on saying, Halloween isn't even here yet don't put you lights up. I told them I don't want to feel rushed later because I am going to have my official lighting ceremony the Friday after Thanksgiving.

Anyway I have finished all the lights that are up on my gutterline 14 strings of 150 lights a total of 2100 lights. And I am just getting started.... Evilgrin.

I ran into a couple problems once they were up and I was starting to test them. Half of one strand of Icicles is out, I still need to go figure out what bulb is bad.

The other issue is some of my 5-6 year old blue swag lights have bulbs that are loosing colored paint. Therefore, they are glowing white and much brighter than the blues bulbs around them. My wife says they are distracting. so guess what, I get to buy more blue swags and change them out. fortunately those are only 5 of the 14 I put up this weekend so at least I don't have to do a lot of changing things.

I actually tested my sequences with these few lights that are up. This is the first time that I actually lit up a sequence. I was so excited, they worked perfectly with the sequence. Sorry no videos yet I figure who would want to watch a half done display in a video.

Some more lights are going up next weekend.
