As always my lights are controlled by a notebook running Windows XP. Unfortunately it crashed tonight while I was out so we had lights out for a bit.

About 70% setup. Hopefully will be close to done by tomorrow afternoon.

Hoping to get couple more elf’s built over the next week or so.   Rough sketches.

So we got this Teeter Tooter decoration from my sister years ago and last year motor stopped working. Of course it’s the one decoration Hailey setups up every year, so hoping to fix it. They stopped making them many years ago :(

More power for next year! Step 2 is increasing the size of the box, step 3 is adding at least one more outdoor outlet. Now I just need to figure out where to put all these wires.

Actually step 1 was get an electrician to deal with the wires, I'm not messing with this.

Kinda cold and icey out, decorations may have to stay up a bit longer.

This is what animates a couple of the wireframes, an old laptop running Windows XP Media Edition.

A couple videos. Hopefully easier to tell in person, but one elf is pushing on a TNT plunger to light up the tree. Other is shooting canon snowballs to make a snowman, then sun comes up. Elf making a train and elf carrying presents are animated too. Don't pay attention to orange lights on garage, I forgot to make those red and green....tomorrow I'll fix them.

Everything is pretty much all up now. Just need to do some cleanup, setup timers and decide if I'm putting up anymore in the backyard. Will upload pictures once I go back outside.
