I thought i would share a few pics of my house this year, and ask for some help.
first. our display this year consists of over 210,000 christmas lights all computer animated and synched to music. it takes 3 months to hang the lights and 6 months to complete the computer programming. this is our third year doing a computerized display, and it gets bigger and better every year.
For the help part. We are finalists int he nationwide Kentucky Fried Chicken Holiday Traditions Contest because of our lights. Online voting determines the winner if you would like to vote for us, choose #13 Robert C. of Pittsburgh

If you want to see more pics or video of our display in action check our website www.steelcitychristmas.com
i know some you guys love photography. I took these pics with my Nikon D40X on the auto setting with no flash
Thanks again
Bob

Congratulations...you've found a hobby more expensive than fishkeeping

Astonishingly beautiful. I'm jealous.

Thank you.
My 240 with 2 400 watt halides has nothing on this for power draw.
we actually had the power company here last week, and they had to put up our own transformer, because of the draw on the neighborhood

...just to clarify..... so we're all on the same page and everything... the "selfish people thread" is about all the selfLESS things people do..... you knew that... right?

I had trouble sleeping last night because of a strange glow coming through my east windows. Turns out it was your house! (And they say the Great Wall of China is the only man made thing you can identify with the

eye from space!) You've got my vote. Looks Awesome!
