been working on our Saint Patrick's Day display, here is the newest member

print the spreadsheet and it becomes this

got tired o fusing grid system and projectors to blow up line art and images. for me Microsoft Excel works great. just drop you image into a new cell in a new workbook, stretch it to the size you want, ( page marks will be on screen, I always set page size to letter size) then print. it wil print on multiple pages, get your tape and scissors out, tape it together and you have a full size pattern, a little carbon paper and you are done.

good luck, sure there is a way to do it. looks like you are on the right path

am sure you can put snow in it, but doubt it will blow around. I have almost quit buying any inflatable that has a AC DC adaptor. they just do not hold up and last very long. let us know how it goes

Thanks, I do buy from him too, but usually just wait until clearance or buy Walmart's $14.95 ones and use the blower and or adaptor, trash the fabric

thanks, don't know about the bigger, thou, only one traffic light, its over on the 4 lane road by the speed trap.

normally 2-3 weeks, just now put up the last of Christmas, (almost 300) will be setting up Valentine Day soon, then Saint Patrick, then Easter again

I would be interested.

we actually blew a transformer fuse a few years ago. power company upsized transformer, it serves about 6 houses, load is split over 6 timers with staggered on times

a good friend of (Donavan) drove quite a ways to see our display and made this video. thanks much hope everyone enjoys it.

Yep, in my eyes we won the biggest contest of all. A family stopped by, their son wanted to give us a trophy. "Best lights Ever"

yep started 12-12, Lowes ALL Christmas 50% off!

I recently bought a pallet of "green laser lights" to resale, they have the same 'transformer" with them that goes with the small inflatables. I paid $2.50 each for the lights, thinking about trashing the lase and selling the transformer, but then I know the failure rate would be high, but its going to be high with the lights too. wish there was a good alternative.

yes hate is strong, but I really do hate the small blowers and AC DC transformers Gemmy uses, come on you can buy the same blower at your local computer shop for $2, and they would think you were crazy if you told them you were going to put it outside. I really do not understand Gemmy, that do so good on so many things, I noticed one of our 2012 Globes had a 3 year warranty from Gemmy. needless to say I do not buy many of them especially for full price But $1.00 eases he pain so I can tell if the transformer is bad or not. this little DC test lamp is the best, just stick a probe in each hole of the transformer (with it plugged up of course) light its good, no light its bad simple. I did solder a small drill bit on the clip, just a little smaller than the hole. any way here are a couple of pics
