Title: operation Holiday Lights
Post by: M4wdFab on September 20, 2022, 08:16:10 PM: Bucket truck check

looks like you can get 500' spools of C9 wire or 100' sections a little cheaper.
right now found 25 packs of C9 red/green for 19$

that means 500' and 500 bulbs is 630$ lol

Post by: M4wdFab on October 20, 2022, 07:08:03 PM: amazon is failing on this. round three. 2 no shows for lights and now after multiple re orders i have been delivered an extra 100' strand and still no lights. USPS tracking has been given (original order was Prime 1 day, and still shows stock for prime 1 day) for Sunday delivery , ok sure.
