Q: How do you hang string lights without nails?

• <div><p>Nails are a popular choice for hanging string lights, but they are not the only option. Use outdoor hooks, zip ties, or even awning hangers to string up lights outdoors. For indoor lights, use simple tacks, zip ties, damage-free adhesive hooks, or drawing pins. When all else fails, just wrap the lights around some furniture or outdoor fixtures. </p></div>

Q: Can you hang lights on eaves?

• <div><p>Yes, if your roof is in stable condition, you should be able to hang Christmas lights from the eaves. Hang Christmas light directly from the eaves for best results, using light clips or an alternative type of adhesive. When installing lights on your eaves, be sure to work carefully and avoid adding too much weight or pressure to them.</p></div>

Q: What do you need to do for a Christmas light show?

• <div><p>To synchronize your Christmas show to music, you&rsquo;ll need the standard holiday lights, decorations, lawn ornaments, tools, and outdoor-rated extension cords. You&rsquo;ll also need a digital controller, computer, and software that allows you to create your musical show. </p></div>

Q: Should you tip holiday decorators?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s unnecessary to tip holiday decorators, and most professionals won&rsquo;t expect it, but it&rsquo;s a nice gesture to show your appreciation for their work. If the expert goes above and beyond to keep your delicate decorations safe, or they&rsquo;re hanging your exterior lights and putting out lawn decorations in freezing temperatures or inclement weather, a tip between <b>10% and 20%</b> of your total will be appreciated. Large jobs that include interior and exterior work are also good opportunities to tip, especially if your expert is performing a rush job close to the holidays.</p></div>

Got me in earlier than expected even in a holiday week. When they arrived they were patient and answered all my questions. I will use them again happily as the work seemed thorough.

Excellently, this was actually the second time we have used them. I feel I can enjoy my time way for a change. Notes left on daily activities, perimeter was checked and even my out side rescue was fed and given a holiday meal? I use them again ?
