So I missed my switch on date of Sat Dec 1st. And Sun Dec 2nd.
In fact this years display eventually flickered to life on Sun Dec 9th.
And due to running out of time & energy with a 2.5 year old and a VERY pregnant wife (due any day now!) this year's display is scaled back from previous years and has no animation or computer control at all.
Yep, what started as eagerly building up excitement and equipment for a kick-ass display this year has now turned out to be a bit of a fizz-er. I have not even added the traditional new element to the display. No motifs on the windows this year, no icicles or gutter lights, no roof line edges, no LED tree, no present boxes - only about 50% of last year's elements are up for this season.
Whilst this year's focus has been on family & work, I've still managed to gain a considerable amount of knowledge & hints/tips & even most of the hardware for what I hope will be a huge display next year.
So feel free to look at some of the closeup shots HERE of this years display, otherwise, I guess I'll keep you informed via this site of 2013's epic display!
