Also my pool light fittings and Shelly PMs arrived so I have suns playing to do…

Had some fun building a new power injection box for the singing elements. These will only have a data run from the controller and all power will come from here.
Also gives me a couple of extra outputs should I need them elsewhere.
Picked up this box from Bunnings for $15. Not a bad one I must say. I was hoping to get the slightly shorter one but they were out of stock.

It's been awhile since I did anything due to being very busy lately with life but thanks to the chat room I was inspired to do some work.
I made a couple GE Preying Spiders, a couple of GE Zombie flakes as show here. Also, made a couple of spiral trees (One of them snuck into the photo) but we all know what those look like.
You can see the 2 p5 matrix panels in the background that only need to have the outer case put on them.
I have big plans for this week, I'll need to find out how it turns out.

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.
The back of the frames that I am hanging the spiders and bats from.
Front view
The back of the rosa wreath:
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.

Did you make or buy the frame? Care to share details?

Does adding 3x new power outlets and joining them to an existing 4th outlet on their own dedicated circuit count as a display addition?! If so then that's what I'm getting a sparky to do as I type!

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.
