christmas light problems.

srreynolds2003 · 11-13-2008, 05:48 PM

Ok I know it's earlier but we have family coming in to celebrate thanksgiving and christmas together. My wife is Putting up christmas lights and she has this 3' Santa that stands alone in our hall of our house. The problem is there is no power outlet near him. I would have to run power cords from about 10' away...and she's not happy about that.

My question is do you know of anything like a portable box with an outlet on it. something I could charge and place behind the santa to have power for him.

For $140 I think I would make her get over 10' of power cord! LOL.

I look at it as a chance to get a new tool.
I got to believe it can be found for less though.

Oh she will. I have an electrician friend who can drop a new plug on the wall for $50-75.

I'd just move the Santa 10ft and buy bike farkle with the $50-75.

Problem solved!

We are talking about satisfying a women...so I can't touch the santa, it has to stay right there. That's what she told me....
