Christmasjunkie 6 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 This has been a difficult year from the beginning. At one point I thought there would be no show this year because of my work schedule, illness, weather, and technical problems. I finally got up and running on Dec. 15--the latest I have ever been. We were gone for 4 days at Christmas and when we got back I discovered that we had a power blip and the show computer had been shut down for 3 days. Since then I have had nothing but electrical problems. I had an electrician friend install 4 new dedicated circuits 3 years ago to serve my lighting set up. As an electrician he put GFT's in the receptacles. This year the GFI's are popping constantly and I have no idea why. I have had to constantly swap cords around to other circuits to keep the show up and running. For 3 nights I was completely shut down. I'm thinking of taking the year off next Christmas. I will be taking my lights down tomorrow, New Year's Day and will be glad to be rid of it. It's just not fun anymore. Can anyone identify with this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roger 15 Posted January 1, 2014 Report Share Posted January 1, 2014 I can understand how you feel about all the trouble, this year my wife and I took the year off and I accepted a job helping a friend in his business. Let me tell you that will never happen again. WE HAVE MISSED IT, with all the problems it still is a great joy just to see one night that goes good. Rest a few months without thinking about Christmas lights and then renew your effort. I will never take a year off again as long as my health lets keep going. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
