You two really need a hobby or something

[Scuba_Dave]

I'm replacing the outside outlet today/tomorrow that was taken down to bury the Service Feed & relocate the electric meter. It was not a GFCI outlet & did not have the new wet use location cover

I'll also be installing another outlet on the far side of the house
That will mainly be used for Christmas
That will give me (3) "dedicated" outside outlets of 60a
Once the garage is built I'll have a subpanel in the garage
I may wire the entire subpanel on a timer for lights /decorations
With the garage built I'll be able to add another 2-3 circuits

Let there be lights - LOTS of lights

[Scuba_Dave]

1st outlet with GFCI & in use wet cover is installed
One plastic ghost is out in the graveyard
Tomorrow I may add the inflateable skull out there too

Maybe I can run the new circuit to the far side of the house tomorrow
I also just realized I should add an outlet in the soffit area at the front of the house for the icycle lights

Future plan was to link all of these to a hard wired timer
I wanted a dedicated outlet at each window for window candles/decarations
But now I realize I would need multiple timers as I need multiple circuits
And the hard wired are $60 each
And of course we need the bedroom lights to shut off earlier

hehe sounds like good work done so far dave,
finished up the table and fitting my son in it. took inventory of the hanging stuff. ( pics later). gota make the tabel a little longer to cut his legs off.....

[Casey]

Oh I know I want pics Tim

[Scuba_Dave]

Found out the inflatable 4' skull is for indoor use only
So that goes back tomorrow, the wife didn't like it - goofy looking
But it was only $13
The bigger 6' is more $$ but looks much better & has spiders on it
Hopefully someone will have one of those left



I have to go dig out my old clothes to make some 1/2 ghouls to climb out of the graves

[Scuba_Dave]

The $60 timer will actually switch on & off 2 different circuits
So I will probably just buy 1 for now & set that up in the basement to control the 2 outside outlets
Then I'll buy another one once the garage is built to control 2 more

Hopefully 80a should be enough

[Scuba_Dave]

The 6 gravestones I bought are setup, 1/2 zombie coming out of 1 grave
Lightes skeleton parts out of another grave. I lighted ghost is in the area, but it backlights the tombstones. So you can't read them, I'll need to hook-up a red spotlight to light up the tombstones

Both my strobe lighst are tested & work. They are 10 years old, I thought one was not working. One is pointed towards the graveyard, but too far away

I "found" 90' of red rope light that I had boxed up for Christmas
I know I have 2-3 more strings too; also found 3 outdoor timers
I know I have a small red spotlight somewhere packed in with the Christmas stuff

This year I will have to make separate storage tote(s) for stuff that can be used for both Holidays. I have strings of red LED lights too. Maybe I'll outline the roof line in red

Wow Dave,

[Scuba_Dave]

Looks good
Tomorrow I go back to finishing up the 2nd floor electrical wiring
I need to get my rough inspection

[Phishnoob]

Geez guys...now I am wondering what your tanks look like by the end of October.

[Doug1]

hehehe if they put as much time, money nd effort into the reefs as they do Halloween, they would own the Great Barrier Reef

[Scuba_Dave]

Last October I had to clean out my tank

Got rid of 2 huge Toadstools, huge Devil's hand, lots of other softies
Stuff in my tank grows like weeds
I have a 125g, my purple rim cap extends from about 1" from the front of the glass to about 1" from back of glass (viewable on 3 sides)
It is growing out of the water
My orange cap is not as big, but I had to chop the bottom 4" off to drop it back into the water
I have multiple toadstools & devils' hands regrowing
I have a huge patch of yellow finger leather. I cut 1/2 of it back & moved it & now it's akk regrown & the other stuff is almost as big
Green tree growing all over, shrooms & zoo's
Hydno is huge & growing out of the water
LPS growing great
Main problem right now is some hair algea

But I have a 180g that will replace the 125g (this winter?), the 125g will become frag/fuge. The 325g is going in the great room..after I build the garage & great room. Too busy to get in trouble

October is Halloween decorating season
Then I have a month off, then Christmas decorating
Dec 1st my Town has a very bright light that planes can see

Then back to work on winter projects inside the house
Last year was gut & redo 1st floor bath
This year hopefully will be finishing the dormer on the back of the house that I built

Still lots of house work for the fore seeable future
