Is it safe to fix my own Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Yes, tackling blown fuses and broken light bulbs is definitely safe. Fixing the wiring on a strand of Christmas lights isn’t a good idea, though, because of the danger of shock and fire. However, if you don’t feel comfortable working with any type of electricity, consider hiring a professional Christmas light installer to manage the job safely and efficiently.</p></div>

Can you hang lights on soffit?

• <div><p>Yes, you can hang Christmas lights from the soffit of your roof, but it requires a bit more effort than hanging from the gutters or eaves. You’ll need to add an adhesive hook or tie to the underside of the soffit to keep the lights in place. Consider adding a soffit hook every 12 to 18 inches for best visual results.</p></div>

How can I save money on Christmas lights?

• <div><p>First of all, don’t shop for bargain lights—often, you’ll end up with a faulty or broken strand, full of dead bulbs or less-than-luminous brightness. Choose quality lights that will last you many years—LED lights have been known to last as long as 100,000 hours. Second, plan ahead and purchase lights for next year’s Christmas during this year’s post-holiday sales. Finally, have a vision and a plan—if you know the measurements of your home, including any windows, doors, and outside bushes you wish to light up, you should be able to only purchase the necessary lights and not more than you need.</p></div>

Q: Does cold weather affect Christmas lights?

• <div><p>Cold weather can cause older incandescent Christmas lights to fail by causing cracks in the finish or the glass itself. Modern LED lights are affected in the opposite way and perform even better as the temperature drops. </p></div>

Q: How do you attach Christmas lights to palm trees?

• <div><p>You can attach Christmas lights to your palm tree by securely wrapping the strings around the tree. If you notice the strands slipping, you can also use a staple gun to secure them to the trunk.</p></div>

They are good for haircut. It was $38 for the haircut, shampoo, and style. I like the atmosphere. It's kind of a sheek looking place. It's like an exterior decorator did it. It's not just the run of the mill. They send them to New York to be trained.

He talks a good game but did not deliver in the end. His crew did most all of the work and he showed up for a few minites to examine the work. The scoring was good but the staining was not because he did not use the colors we told him that we wanted. In fact, his crew did not know that the...
