Here's a video I took tonight while everyone was trying to finish everything up. I can't tell you the exact cost, but if you guess I can tell you if you're low or high.

Jeez, Stu. Impressive.
Hey thanks. Nice to see you around Justin.
VERY NICE.
As to the inserts from HD being crap, they are. However the ones you got on line. Ace and other hardware stores carry the good ones. .
Curious how much of a hit the one who bid it took. Based on the ever increasing price of wood.
Great creativity! Thanks for posting.
What kind of electrical power do you need for all the lights?
Is there a supplemental panel?
One thing I can tell you was expensive was the plexiglass at $118 per 4'x8' sheet. I had to buy that twice.
As far as power, LEDs use so little power that most jobs require one outlet for the roof, and another one or two for trees and bushes. Most jobs are way smaller of course. That roof for example is probably all one outlet. This one has a lot going on and I was spared any of the set up except for wrapping the candy canes and setting up boxes. When it all came on with the timers last night, it only came in 4 or 5 stages though.
Irving... very impressive. Beautiful display, thank you for sharing.
After the holidays, are you on the hook for removal and storage for next year?
Yes to the company. I'm not personally storing anything. Last year I dodged removal, but I'll probably do some this year.
Also props to my wife, who recently epoxied a counter top at her rental house all by herself after watching a ton of videos on Youtube. This was just basic white laminated countertop before.

I wasn't involved in this at all and still don't understand how she got the marble looking detail in there.

Those came out fantastic! You, sir, are a very creative and crafty guy. Make sure you charge appropriately for it; nothing will have you earning less than minimum wage faster than having all your friends see your work and then demand something similar, but with 87 small personalizations for half the cost.
