The price of being tacky?

One of our favorite parts of Christmas is the annual Tacky Light Tour - we got out of the gates early this year with a trip with The Stevens to see a few the first weekend of December (after an El Cap Fiesta of course)....

While driving around we got to talking about the cost implications of being a truly Tacky Light house...well luckily HouseLogic breaks it down here.

To light this house for example:

1,000,000 bulbs were the average 5 watt C7 bulb. Assuming the lights to run for 4 hours each night and 30 nights in total.....the estimated cost came out to be $686/hour  or $82,320 total. YIKES!  
Note - If they use LEDS, their estimate would drop down to $89 hour and $10,680.


It is amazing how much money these families are dishing out to get into the Christmas spirit!  To check out houses in Richmond...use this guide from Richmond.com.


Our favorites are 8202 Shelley (tune your radio to 99.5) and Asbury Court (two houses - mother/son)....
