2017 Christmas Lights
This is my first attempt near-whole-house projection.
My first shelter lasted 3 days before we had wind gusts near 45mph that blew it apart and left my equipment in a pile of rubble. Fortunately the electronics survived, but it would be another week before I could build a second shelter. With temps falling and Christmas less than two weeks away, I was able to get a more solid shelter built.
While I expect the new shelter to survive all common weather patterns we see, it sits low enough to the ground that a mere 4 inches of snow picks up some light. For next season, I'll get it higher up, and farther back to cover the whole house.
Consider this a proof of concept.
I've been thinking about doing this since I first saw the Celebrate the Light at White's Chapel video, but it would be several years before everything fell into place.
