+Team GPSaxophone Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 Then I shall sneak up in the mi8ddle of the night and put your Christmas lights back up. No! Anything but that! Actually, that's not such a bad thing...I'll be free to go caching then instead of putting up lights next November... Just right click any image and select properties. The URL is there, copy it then paste it in your post between the image tags. Quote Link to comment
+ChrisCindy Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I figured it was something like that. Hmmm now how can I fit all of the other smileys over here. Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Take care of the lights first because you and you wife will feel better about you going caching then, I can see why they kicked you out of the procrastinators club. What you didn't get your membership termination letter? Well they'll get around to it eventualy. I got in reeeaaall trouble this season. I only had one day off last month (We own a restaurant and catering company) and spent it out caching. I never even got the light put up this time. Quote Link to comment

+rusty_tlc Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I usually save taking down the lights for Presidents day or whatever they call it now. You know hearts and candy all that stuff. By then you can stay on a lader for more than 30 sec at a time without frost bite. Quote Link to comment

I come from a long line of sparkies, (electricians & electronics types) we use fibreglass or wood ladders. Less likley to freeze something to them, also they don't conduct electricity.

+geospotter Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 This guy is going to have a job taking these lights down. He duct-taped the lights to the side of his house! He used hundreds (thousands?) of strips of duct tape to attach the lights. I hope all the residue comes off! Quote Link to comment

+Team GPSaxophone Posted January 8, 2004 Author Share Posted January 8, 2004 Got all the Christmas lights down today. They're all boxed up and ready for next Christmas. Now if I can just fit the truck in the garage... Quote Link to comment
+rusty_tlc Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Sanity check: I label my X-Mas light plugs. I have a schematic that shows which string goes where. I never have to add or remove the heavy duty staples I installed to hold the old stye BIG lights I prefer. My basic lights go up in about 30 to 45 minutes, depending on how many light bulbs I need to replace (on the ground before I even get the fibreglass ladder out of the garage). Am I to Anal?

Mine are labeled on each plug (one plug at each end). I use minilights though, so I can fit a bunch more up than you at a much lower cost of electricity. I also bought my first batch of LED lights for next year (80% less power than minilights!) Quote Link to comment
