What causes half a string of Christmas Lights to go out?

• <div><p>If only half of your string of Christmas lights is out, it likely means that you have a broken or loose bulb somewhere along the strand. That’s why we suggest inspecting and testing each bulb to ensure it’s still tight and functioning properly. Luckily, this problem is quickly solved with a DIY fix, such as replacing the bad bulb or repairing a damaged shunt.</p></div>

Q: How much maintenance will my outdoor room need?

• <div><p>Your maintenance needs revolve around the type of foundation you choose, as well as how you furnish or decorate it. Patios require little else other than the occasional hose-down, but decks and other wooden structures will require annual power washing and sealing. You may also need to restain the wood every two to three years.</p><p>Adding a solid roof rather than building a pergola or leaving the space open will make maintenance much easier. Without a roof, you will need to spend more time sweeping, washing, and covering your furniture to protect it from UV bleaching.</p></div>

Q: How can I prevent Christmas lights from becoming damaged?

• <div><p>You can take a few steps to prolong the life of your holiday lights. Make sure to replace burnt-out bulbs as quickly as possible to avoid overloading the rest of the circuit and knocking out more lights. Before packing them up each year, plug each strand into the wall to confirm everything is still working. Wrap the lights carefully back into their original packaging or something similar&mdash;winding a strand tightly together or leaving it to hang loose in a storage bin can lead to frayed or damaged wiring. </p></div>

Q: What costs are involved in repairing outdoor lighting?

• <div><p>Repair costs depend on damage severity and parts needed, averaging $100-$300 per fixture, with additional fees potentially for accessibility issues.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between wet-rated and damp-rated lighting?

• <div><p>While wet-rated and damp-rated lighting is designed to handle contact with moisture, there&rsquo;s a difference between the two. Wet-rated lighting is safety-rated to be placed in areas with direct exposure to water, including your shower. Fixtures classed as wet-rated are made with waterproof seals to protect the filament and other electrical components from water and moisture. </p><p>Damp-rated fixtures can be used in places with some moisture contact, but not direct exposure. They don&rsquo;t have the same waterproof seals used in wet-rated fixtures. Damp-rated lighting can be used on your bathroom ceiling or along a wall outside of your shower.</p></div>

They replaced the lights okay but lost original tire knob and replaced it with another one that did not match the other three tires. They took three hours just to do a simple job and they told me it would be finished in 45 minutes. If I knew it was going to take that long, I would have left the...

Chris did an amazing job. I had a green picked out for the kitchen and he suggested to wait on the second coat to see how the color looked at different times of the day, excellent advice because the color did not look good at night with the lighting. Another shade was chosen (at no cost) and...
