RichardH 0 Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Hello everyone. Since my Neighbors pulled the plug for 2008 I have been looking for a new location. I had a few locations that I was looking at and this is going to be the one. http://www.holdman.com/christmas/photos2008/pan-holdman-trees-small.jpg It may not look like much from the photo since I had to Make a Panorama out of it but it is a pretty good size. As you can see it is mostly going to be all trees which is going to require A LOT of wrapping (Joy!). We are going to hire some labor though to help out with it so I will not be doing it all myself. The location is on the side of my Dad's house and has a pretty good parking area. Google Street View Here is a sat image with the area marked where the light show will be. It should work out pretty good because the street gets really wide in front of the display which should allow traffic to flow. It is going to be a lot different though then my my 2008 display and will not translate to video quite as well because it is so long and not as tall. People will be able to walk along the sidewalk though and be able to see it up close or park on the side of the road. I plan on placing several speakers along the front so you can hear it as you walk down the sidewalk looking at the lights. As you can see, no house is going to be involved. I plan on putting arches and other things that I have made in the area but still have to plan it all. I know I am running late for this year but should be able to pull it off. Should be fun. -Richard Edited September 26, 2008 by RichardH Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck putting it together it will be a challenge as it is so different from the canvas you are used to working on. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with.

Cullen Wassell 5 Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Glad to hear you've nailed down a new location. But WOW - Your dad's got some serious guts living on top of the Wasatch Fault. (sorry, I'm a HUGE geek about that kind of stuff ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kirkmbrown2001 0 Posted September 27, 2008 Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 I was thinking and I was wondering where you are going to get all the power? Your dad's house?

RichardH 0 Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 How does one get that 360 view on the street view? I dont' see that when I click on my own home. You have to live in an area that Google has driven one of their camera cars in. You can learn more about the street view at http://maps.google.com/help/maps/streetview/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichardH 0 Posted September 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2008 Thank you everybody for your encouragement. It should be a interesting project. I am going to keep with the Red/Green/White theme. Really no new features but just moving it all. Nice Location my friend!! Good Luck to ya. but one qestion were u gunna put ur LOR?? Actually there are large power boxes right behind the trees so power is not a probelm. The Electrician is coming next week to figure out how we are going to hook up 20 dedicated circuits without outdoor outlets in the middle of the trees. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chowell 0 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Richard, glad to see you are back in business. I'm sure it will turn out fantastic just as it was at your house. I've been back on YouTube in the last few weeks showing my family your stuff. Man, excellent work! Anyway, good luck with the setup. Love to offer my services but I'm setting up 80 channels myself for my first year with LOR so plenty to do here in Ogden. Have fun and please be safe! Let us know the address for viewing!!!

kpharr40 0 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Richard best of luck in your new location. We loved your videos. Are you adding any new items? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cvbolts 10 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Glad to see it looks like everything is going to work out! I think everyone who has an HOA is always waiting for "THAT" letter... Very unfortunate that people have such a bah humbug attitude.... But I do appreciate what neighbors have to deal with! I just hope that some folks remember why some of us do this! In my case - how better can I say Happy Birthday to Jesus Christ - my personal Savior!? God Bless & MERRY CHRISTMAS!
