I'm with Patty, very cool, I should send you some of the snow that's falling right now to go with your lovely display. I am a villager also, I have Harborside Village by O'Well, some D56 and Lemax. Love that Farmers Market!! Thanks for sharing:goteam:

I don't have a lot of room, for my Village, so I had to stop buying stuff
My oldest houses are from 91-2 when I started collecting them
Living in Apst & moving I never bought too many
The majority I bought after I bought a house in 97
But it had a small yard. so I didn't buy many outside decorations until we bought this house
Then I ordered.....some.........:woohoonaner:

We had a downpour last nite & this morning
Very strong winds so I am fixing a few things
Ground gets soft & the poles that hold everything up tend to tilt
So I had to straighten some up
Its up to about 66 outside
So as soon as my son goes down for a nap I'm going to be putting more up

I found a 8ft inflatable snowman in Mike's basement last wkend & set it up in front on a timer.It was windy so the snowman looked drunk ha ha.
Super thread :) !! Can't wait to see everybody's decorations!! Will add some of ours, as I can, but we don't start decos till about mid December.
LOL on the drunk 8 foot snowman!! Gotta see pics of that, for sure!!

Man that's pretty neat I guess when your done with the house your going to build a shed for storage :^) so you can enjoy the addition, the basement :^) or the garage? lol Wow thats alot of boxes.
Scuba_Dave
12-09-2009, 11:18 PM
I've already added onto the shed
The addition has a walk up attic for storage
The basement will not really be used...maybe a pool table eventually
---too many windows in the great room for a pool table
The garage will have big storage shelves to store stuff
There is already a 16x16 storage area under the new sunroom
So I should be all set....until I buy more

Sounds like you have a plan :^) I only have one other question? What are you putting in the bell tower (on the addition) for christmas next year or this? :^)

Santa faces are in the bell tower for this year
The rest of the year just a simple light...maybe red bulb for valentines day
Orange or a strobe for Halloween

I actually have a timer that will turn the light on & off
Right now the timer just goes to an outlet
Light will be installed sometime after New Years

I finally soldered up the Radio Station kit I bought, 140+ pieces
So ELF radio is now online broadcasting music on 101.1 fm
My neighbors may have been surprised if they hit my station as I was playing a Halloween sound track while testing
It was Halloween sounds, chains, screams, monsters etc
So I'll be broadcasting next year at the start of December
I need to set something up for my old laptop or PC so I can play a bunch of mixed songs

I've started to take some of the display down, we had a warm day in the 50's
Max draw was around 44a
The rest will not come down until after Jan 1st
Then darkness......I'm sick of winter already :ha:
