    Mounted it on the side of my house near an outside recepticle and then ran low voltage landscape wire to all the lights. Easy work and for the money, I think it looks good. Even tunneling under my concrete pathway was easy, only took 10 minutes with a tunneling kit I bought on Amazon.

    Buying the tool(s) needed for a project is often cheaper than hiring someone else to do the work. And, having the right tool for the job makes all the difference.

    Was* and we paid like $120 a month for a BS, overpriced HOA. Landscaping was crap and I should have just done it myself to my liking. Now, I get to do that

    Lol it’s exhausting. The backyard is a PITA as it slopes. Fortunately, we have a stamped concrete patio coming in so it’ll take up just a tad of the grass. Work was supposed to begin Monday, but they pushed it back a week due to weather.

    Washed the Tundra top and underside, washed my work car, got boat out and ran it in the driveway on the hose to get ready for next weekend and mowed for 3.5 hours.

    @aRabidLunatic where are you located? If you get ready to do this, let me know. I’m pretty sure I have at least one extra transformer at the house, and a shitload of landscape wire.

    Same kind @mdavis used. I had three of them at one point. They came with the kits I used, but I put them all on one big transformer. You just plug it in and hook the landscape wire to it.
