It’s happening…
Quick gallery post. We started putting the light strips up on the roof…
Laying out and untwisting. Laying out and untwisting. Laying out and untwisting. 
Clips work really well for the gutters! Looking good. Top peak. Setting up some of the PSUs. 12v for top peak roofline. 5v for gables/front. I’ve never actually been up here! Gable end detail. Back hooks on the clips aer perfect for power-injection wire.
They are actually all up, but I need to perform surgery on several and I only have power/power-injection wired to 2/3s of them. Ran out of time last weekend, and the weather isn’t cooperating this week.
Unfortunately we had carefully measured all of the runs, and I pre-built the strips in the basement based on those measurements. The strips aren’t “exactly” 1″ per hole. They are slightly longer, which adds up after 200-300 pixels. All of the strips were too long. I can eliminate some of the unneeded pixels in software but for some it can’t be done “easily”, and they will look tacky during the day. I have quite a few cut-and-solder jobs ahead of me.
Update/Observation:
I really like the way the strips installed and look on the gutters. Not happy with the rooflines. They were a pain in the butt to install (per my wife, who did most of the work), and just aren’t straight or clean looking. I think we are going to go with 1/2″ PVC for the roof next year.
I posted an update as-well: Roofline Update.
