Mickey light post directions

I had a hard time initally finding all the parts for my first one (working on a better one now) so I got some huge globes off of amazon then adapted some electrical and pvc pipe and used a pvc floor drain for the footing (drilled holes to use tent pegs to secure it in the sandy soil at the sites. The first one I spent about $150 to make but the new one is going to run $200 or above to make.

Here is my first one, not really any frills, just the light on this one:

This is an old thread and you may no longer even visit the board, but I just had to say, I love the way the light changes in the Mickey Head. Wow, so pretty! I haven't gone through the whole thread, so I may find directions to make one of these in here somewhere, and if I do, I will go for that changing light effect. Loved it! :lovestruc If you are still around, is that a bulb doing that? No worries, I will figure it out myelf (by reading the rest of this thread! lol). :thumbsup2
 


Hey all, long time since we were all chatting. How is everyone's light posts holding up? I'm in Vermont and the weather here is not always sunny to say the least. I've noticed that the chalking has yellowed and blackened over time. Anyone experience this? Any tips to spruce them up?

Thanks

When we notice our Mickey getting a little dull and chalky looking, we give it a good spray down with 409 and let it sit a bit.
The a gentle scrubbing with a sponge and a good rinse.
Good as new.
