I added up all the lights, only comes to around 1000w
Then I added in the foggers....
up over 5500w now - 46.3a
I'm going to have to figure out how I'm going to power the foggers
I can't put (2) of the 1200w models on the same circuit
Plus I don't want long extension cords for them

I had to remove one outlet from the side of the house on the outside
It wasn't GFCI & was in the way where the new meter is going
I guess I can wire up a new one before Halloween
A 2nd circuit is on the front porch.
Maybe I can wire a 3rd circuit on the other side of the house

I'll need them for Christmas anyways
Will a fogger work in December??

hahahah.. cool head...
too bad the garage is not wired yet.. if you put a box out there youwill have a ton more electric.
get over to home depot and look for the 3 way plug in, they have one that has a remote, this way you can do a quick on and off on some things if need be

Actually the garage isn't even built yet, just the foundation
I'll have a 60-90a panel in the garage. It will be my old 200a panel so it's up to the Electric Inspector as to how many amps I can feed it
I'm figuring either 60, 90, or - preferred - 100a

Amazing the lower over-all wattage use of Halloween lights VS Christmas lights. Excluding the foggers 1000w is very nice
With the pool shut down, the hot tub off due to the rewiring my electric bill dipped to a "low" of $240 this month

How big are those skeletons? Maybe 3'?
The blucky's are only 4'
An old one that I have is maybe 5'
Can't afford full size skeletons at $50+ a pop

6 graves have been "dug"
Waiting for gravestones
1st I'll put out simple crosses, gravestones will go out once I have lights & stuff in place

When I bought the 6 blucky's I had the extended cab open & I was tossing each "corpse" into the back one by one
Felt REALLY weird at the time

You should see my Christmas display!!
On the right the small snowman is over 3' tall, the big one is 12'
I bought a LOT more after Christmas last year
