Last year, Kevin was interested, but not gutsy enough to ask a complete stranger for the use of heavy equipment.
This year, we have connections! The family at the end of the cul-de-sac had their name on the list so we added ourselves after them.
Shortly before 9:00 p.m., this beast made its way slooooooooooowly down the street to our house.
Here's a picture to prove just how thrilled a guy gets when he is given a piece of HUGE machinery to operate.
After taking lots of rides on the thing, we got down to business. Our friend Mike Nalley hopped on to help Kevin, and Joe and Cayna went up, too. The lights went up quickly.
Satisfied by a job well done, Mike and Kevin headed for the sky. Here is an eerie shot of our house from waaaaaaaaaaayyy up above our driveway.
And, it turns out there is a tremendous view of the Strip from our house - if you can just get above those pesky other houses.
In closing, a warm thanks to the neighbor we don't even know. And to the guardian angels who worked overtime.

That is awesome! The view is great! So jealous your lights are already up!
That is so cool. I think Adam might actually start putting lights up if we had a neighbor with access to equipment like that.
Hey, I don't see that Mike Nalley guy in those photos anywhere! I bet he's too afraid of heights that chicken.
In the third picture down, just below the highest orange bar, if you've known Mike Nalley for more than ten years, and squint, you'll recognize his face.
And if he was afraid of heights, he had me fooled, since he wasn't "white knuckling" the rails like I was when we went up the last time.
