Friday and Me

and I've been warned , the Weather Network has given me 3 h to get out and do rain free things. Then .............
4 days of ' off / on ' moisture.

The jury is out on the rope LED sidelights. When you go cheap ( or cheaper ) , some finagling is required. To wit , the stringer is 16 ft which means a bit left - over. The solution is to curl the lights at the top into a circle or loop. The loop symbolizes ...... ? , well , I may have to work on the story.

On the bright side , Ha Ha , the hall ' pops ' w/ light at dark. The photocell controls the rope LED. The original LED s were to be 60 button lights instead the stringer ( 16 ft ) is 80 mega button lights.
Twice the light at least.

Oh , well , the world has bigger problems.

Keep your powder dry

And this afternoon , I put up the rest of the rope LED on the outside of the other sidelight. There may have been a problem running the electrical connection across the transom or bottom of the door. There is an outside receptacle for the porch on that side and that makes it easy to plug in the rope LED , over there.
I did not do the symmetry thing < make both sides look the same >
instead I outlined the whole door assembly as far as the rope LED would reach.
Hopefully , for the present and near future , onlookers might think that the lights are pre - Halloween or pre - Christmas.
