About my display
We have over 26,000 lights for our display. We've also expanded our FM transmitter hours so we are now broadcasting Christmas music around the neighborhood and online. If you live near, try tuning into 88.3 FM and listen to music, as well as time and temperature announcements when our musical light show isnt playing.
You can also see us online at ustream.tv. Search for Noblesville Lights or visit here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/noblesville-lights

How to get lights on top of that big tree?
goldendomejay replied to joeyholzer69's topic in Mega-Poles
I bought an 18' extending fiberglass pole used for painting. I fashioned a hook out of an old paint roller and use that to lift the string (one at a time) onto the hooks on the crown of my mega tree. -
Im up on the Far Northeast side of Indy, in Noblesville. I love talking lights, but the wife doesnt quite share my level of interest in it. anytime you want to chat or need someone to offer their opinion, let me know!

How many channels did you run on your garage for each color? It looked like a ton! It looked like you had white, red, and green, right?

North of Noblesville. On 191st street about a mile west of US 37 in Roudebush Woods. We saw a display somewhere in that area that did syncronized music, but cant remember if it's yours or not. Everyone really enjoyed it!

Darn it. I am on vacation that week. Looks like i wont be able to attend. And it's really close to where i live too. Oh well. I'll try and make it next year, i guess.
-
What kind of presentations are you looking for? How long should they be? Any idea where and when its going to be?

My display made it through the wind this year, but I remember one year that the crown on my mega-tree gave way and dropped all 48 strands of lights. Not a fun time. I feel for everyone who's going throught that.

I might be interested as well. Depending on the timing and amount needed to order.

Ways to attach light strings at the top of a Mega Tree
goldendomejay replied to JonB256's topic in Lights, Lights, Lights!
I had minis that were slightly longer than the length i needed, so i formed a loop at the end of the string, and tied a simple square knot just below a light socket. Essentially, just a slip knot that was stopped by a light socket. I just hooked the loop over a hook and tightened and tie-wrapped at the bottom. I've done this with the same strings for 2 years now, and have had heavy wind and snow with no damage at all. If you need more description or pictures, let me know. -

Response to Tim's Message: If you still have the humain traps, all you need to do is put an apple cut up with salt on it. I would put money, if I still had any on it. One of the Firefighters I work with, is an increadlible trapper. He put me onto this. My Dad and I have had great luck with using apples with salt on them in our live traps. All you will have to figure out is if you want them with butter or or not. Good Luck trapping!!!! [line] I'll try that next. I've had NO luck with lettuce, carrots, celery, or peanuts (I read somewhere they like nuts) Thanks for the tip! -

I though "Great, maybe the little tingle will keep him from doing that any more" Unfortunately when I went out to check, there were 2 other string chewed through after that. Grrr... -

Some Ice storm pics, and what was left of my lights.
goldendomejay replied to Jason Rose's topic in Lights, Lights, Lights!
That's terribly sad. Looks like a lot of work to clean up. The ice does look pretty on the lights though. -
