How long can you hang lights on stucco without damage?

• <div><p>The length of time shouldn’t matter much if you stick with lightweight Christmas lights and similar decorations. Those shouldn’t pose risks to your stucco. You should avoid attaching anything to your stucco that could fall because it’s too heavy, which may take part of the stucco with it. Some methods, like using double-sided tape or adhesive hooks, will naturally wear out over time and lead to falling lights, so don’t expect to leave these lights up year-round.</p></div>

Q: How long can you hang lights on stucco without damage?

• <div><p>The length of time shouldn&rsquo;t matter much if you stick with lightweight Christmas lights and similar decorations. Those shouldn&rsquo;t pose risks to your stucco. You should avoid attaching anything to your stucco that could fall because it&rsquo;s too heavy, which may take part of the stucco with it. Some methods, like using double-sided tape or adhesive hooks, will naturally wear out over time and lead to falling lights, so don&rsquo;t expect to leave these lights up year-round.</p></div>

Q: What are the different types of lighting?

• <div><p>The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/types-lighting-your-home.htm">type of lighting</a> you choose can have a big part in the aesthetic and function of your space. Ambient lighting refers to indirect or diffused lighting that evenly reaches most areas of the space. Task lighting illuminates specific areas, such as a workspace. Accent lighting draws attention to details in your home, and decorative lighting draws attention to itself.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to decorate a Christmas tree?

• <div><p>Decorating a tree yourself will only take between one and two hours, but a professional designer may take more time to create their vision. When hiring a pro, assume the work will take a minimum of three to four hours.</p></div>

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: How many feet of lights do you need to wrap a column?

• <div><p>For a 7-foot-tall column, choose a light strand that is at least 32 feet long. You&rsquo;ll also need to measure the distance from the column to the closest outlet to get outdoor extension cords that are the right length.</p></div>

Steve was knowledgeable about what needed to be done. Old tile and water-damaged walls were removed down to studs, new drywall with vapor barrier was installed, and walls were newly tiled. Steve works at a slow, methodical pace, but he did a very nice job with the mudding and tiling, including a...

Project went well - ramps are effective and functional, meld into the existing decor seamlessly. Returned quickly to install bar above ramp to provide additional stability. Grab bars in bath allow my spouse to remain at home. It went very well!

I stumbled on to Paul's Auto after I noticed a loud noise and discovered my car's exhaust pipes were dragging on the ground. Someone gave me a tip to try Paul's and he soldered a broken pipe together the next morning for a pittance of what I am sure any other shop would have charged. Most...
