      One thing I have done in the past is at almost any store there are large plastic bins you can buy for fairly cheap. Then just using any personal preference you can wrap each light strand individually and put it in the bin. Easy and cheap.

    You forgot the absolute most important rule in hanging lights! You must test them first to make sure they actually light up! You don’t want to spend all that time and energy setting up an elaborate display only to discover that some of the bulbs are burned out, or a whole strand just doesn’t light up. Always do a quick test first!

    • @lowes
      @lowes  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I was actually awed driving around my neighborhood where a moderate looking home had completely enwrapped their house in bright cool super white lights. It was absolutely gorgeous, if not magical looking.....like snow.

      For snowy rainy weather, there are green waterproof capsules you can by that cover the junction between two extension chords. They're green and plastic with rubber seals.

    Just did our lights and used a spool of 100 white LEDs and used the pole clip thingy. We have a peak in ournroof and that was def a challenge getting the lights hooked on. Brother in lawn is going to come over and get on the roof and make sure they're all in good. In would def give the pole and clip system an 8 out of 10. Diggin the path lights. Ordering now.
