Swiss " Griswald" Family BIG Xmas Switch On !!
I have been blooming knocked down with man flu and cold , but it is the 1st of December and nothing ( I mean nothing 
) will get in the way of my girlfriend getting the Xmas lights up !!
Some of you may remember last year, if not here is a timely reminder
https://www.scoobynet.com/non-scooby...scoobynet.html
Well this year, she decided that many of the lights (which were just fine and dandy) were crap and we needed to buy all new ones
. Anyway after a dozen visits to various DIY stores for lights, power extensions, waterproof boxes, cables, generators etc, we have finally spent the last 3 days in rain, sleet and bloody freezing weather to bring you the Swiss Xmas Lights Extravaganza !!
I have also fabricated (with my new found woodwork skills
) three wooden snow bound plinths complete with rope lights and lovely decorative edging for these work of arts to sit on 
* Note. This is work in progress. What you see here is just the lights to make the 1st of December possible. Next week we have 40metres of rope lights arriving, 6 plant pots of star lights being installed, a 6ft Snow Globe being sat in the back garden and others. Also we have not, I repeat, have not even started on the inside of the house !! *
I shall be making a new thread/appeal in January titled
The Swiss Electricity Bill Disaster Appeal Fund
I apologise for the quality of the photos, it was raining and I just wanted to go inside for a drink.
Enjoy

Yes, no alloys this year. I decided to tidy the back up to make sure that all the blow up dolls had been removed
