I place my connectors on landscaping brick and then put a landscaping brick on top of that, never had any issues since I started doing that.

So I always like getting two to three inches before Christmas because it makes the display look beautiful but this 36 inches in one shot was disappointing. My on the ground display is covered almost completely, except a couple trees, Lion and Giraffe. Why I hate this much snow is no one can really see my display now, and the ramifications of the damage that i will find when I take it down, out lights, damaged fuses....usually all spring and summer its nothing but repairs. Would rather deal with the rain.

And still the same problem, no one sells the LED replacement, which is too bad.

Here is the essential problem with buying big box store lights in general. Key is they buy these lights like everyone else from a China company and they are meant to be throw a ways. Because of the this, the best solution, always buy 1 extra box of anything you buy from the big box stores (Walmart, Home, Lowes, ect) then that extra box is an automatic, 70, 100 extra bulbs. I find this to be the less stressful solution to what is a common problem. Yet the stores still have spare C9, C7 and mini lights....

I was told last night that the town I live in is having a House Lighting decorating contest, first year seeing that the Town Christmas festival was cancelled due to COVID. The question for me is, I deleted my facebook back in June and the entries have to be submitted on facebook, do I create a new facebook for the contest? I have wanted to see how my house matched up to others (there is a little pride here). So do I go back on facebook? Hmmmmm

Cords through a window?
HowardFamilyChristmasDisplay replied to The Arnold Family's topic in Newbies!
As someone who works in IT, for normal Cat 5 or 6 Cable yes it could definitely damage the cords depending on how hard you shut the window. They do make ultra thin Cat 6 cable that you could try. But be careful for sure. https://www.amazon.com/Ethernet-Higher-Bandwidth-Internet-Network/dp/B017P34WZI/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?dchild=1&keywords=cat6-50ft-white-ML&qid=1604336306&s=electronics&sr=1-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExR0c3TkE2MDJITkpaJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzAwMDc4M0k2SEdGQVRNQzFaNiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNTAzMjM4MlFEUDZMS1FHRFRWWSZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2F0ZiZhY3 -
I have my clear Icicle lights up on eves and gutters which I did after taking these pics. So the clear icicle lights are up, 2D sculptures on the side of the house and garage.... Next weekend will be icicle lights and snowflakes on my shed and icicle lights on my 2nd floor.

I couldn’t help myself, I bought one. I am a sucker for Snowmen!!!

Next week I will start on putting up icicle lights, 2D figures on the side of the garage and one side of the house. I don't light it yet, just get some things up before taking down Halloween.
