What are you changing this year? Elements you are building or installing for 2023

Well, it's Tuesday and tomorrow is the day I plan to put up a couple HD props. I had to finish prepping the Rosa Wreaths for hanging and also the spiders and Bats. Here is what was completed today.

This is after last weeks Day1.

Front testing lights only a couple minutes after the back photo but i tried to dim it so it was not blurred by the high brightness.

I wonder what things will look like tomorrow.
 
Well, day 2 is over and the main parts were done but it took longer than expected to get the PPD Geo Wreath up on the garage. The two Rosa wreaths went up as easily as planned.

i do have an issue where my Rosa Wreaths are top heavy and lean forward. Not sure hot to fix that for balancing it out more. I'm open to ideas to possible solutions.

Get some pool noodles. Coat with black paint, glue to bottom part of rosa and all good.

Or move the main support to the top of the vertical emt. Still have the side support but just to help, not to hold.
 
Box is screwed into the house. Nothing fancy......little silicone, screwed and away we go.
Well i know it works.......going to be trying some sequences soon and will be sure to post.
 
Made the frame:
1/8" aluminum angle
1/16" aluminum sheet

Day 3, slow and steady progress, like a turtle, had a long delay because I ran out of screws and had to go get some.
Frames went up, Zombies are up, lower eave is up, most of wiring for the props are in place waiting for controllers to be built. Oh, if you look closely you can see the 2 controller boxes waiting to get setup to the left of the door on the porch.

Lights will be turned on tonight for testing if nothing else.
 
It was a long day of setting up. It feels like things are moving slowly. Still have the verticals to put up. I decided to put the bat in the corner on the second controller at the last minute which is why it is not on.

Well, this is what I spent the day on. Putting up almost the entire garage. There are two small spiders left to hook up and then it will be done. A lot of climbing ladders today which seems to have tired me out.
