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

first sampling of lights and bulbs showed up.  look good quality.  going to check brightness at night and then order some more if good.

Oh boy

[M4wdFab]

i did order the rest the other night.  should have 400' of C9 LED every 12"  i set up the first strand 3 red 3 green alternating last night while watching some youtube lol 

[M4wdFab]

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.
