New props - Talking/Singing Bulbs

Budgets being tighter this year we weren’t able to add much to the display, a single strip of lights to replace the dying 8 year old white rope light and 4 new talking/singing lightbulbs made from spare parts left over from last year

Mozzie Repellent

With the mysterious death of all our minty bushes over the past couple of years we seem to have become a welcome home for mosquitos, they’re not super numerous but they are very aggressive… We burn 3 mozzie coils per night when it’s not raining. In order to provide extra protection I went ahead and knocked out a nice repellent spray post

First storm

On the 7th of December we got our first real storm of the season, this is some of the aftermath, nothing major. The spiral tree just popped right out of the ground and laid down. The U from the Tune To took flight though, it was out of here

Replacing broken pixels

Sadly, nothing is forever, pixels break, these are brand new pixels from this year, we’ve lost 2 now, it seems the epoxy is failing and they’re leaking.

Bulb Covers

For the most part, we run without covers on bulbs but we run two variations of a cover styled after the venerable c9 (just smaller). On the spiral trees I wanted to put the covers on because the pixels point up so it seemed like the best way to get the most light out of them On our stars we have a spikier flavour of bulbs.
