    I love the lights but neither of us CBF'd too much, besides which last couple of years some horrible little ebeneezers are going around smashing up everyone's displays...little b@stards

    Very nice and looks like you have a good excuse not to mow the lawn for a while.

    Very nice Nev!!

    Gotta ask, how do you keep the plugs and cords weatherproof?

    We cable tie the plugs to garden stakes then slip over a long zip-lock bag (but learnt the hard way not to do the bags up...condensation and electricity not good )

    Saw a neat arrangement with plastic crates to put powerboards etc in when googling for info.
