How to power holiday display?
Question by jrasche2003: How to power holiday display?
I have a small holiday display that I put up which consists of animatronic deer, polar bear and a holiday train. I only have one outdoor outlet which is GCFI in the back of the house. In order to run my lights I use outdoor thick green extension cords, but because I dont want cords draped along the driveway, I have them going through the gutter. I do beleive there are two 25 foot cables connected in the gutter, which run down, and I use several more of the green extentions to power everything in the yard.
My question is: When it snows no problem.. but when it rains (which the last couple xmas in minnesota were warm and rainy), they pop the GFCI, and I have to wait maybe 2-3 days after the rain stops to turn them back out or it just trips.
What do you think is causing this? Is there a better way to power all of these?
Any help you can provide is appreciated, because I have been very disapointed, and I really am thinking of selling my stuff and not decorating again…..
Thanks

Ahhhhhh yes, The holiday decorarting in snow & rain.
I’m in the desert now!
We used to run our extension cord out to a power stake (the one’s with three outlets & timer). I could cover it with a zip lock bag and a close it up with a twist tie at the base. We did the same at all extension cord to extension cord connections. This way no water gets at the connections to trip the GFI.
