What does it mean if half my string of lights is flashing?

• <div><p>The most likely cause of accidentally flashing lights is that a regular bulb has been replaced with a flash bulb by accident.

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>

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>

"I had such a great experience with anointed power ; they first painted the interior of our house,and we then had them do the exterior as well. They did a beautiful job and were very conscientious about cleaning up every day, (which I really appreciated after having past painters who did not clean up). They were professional, courteous, and made me feel comfortable when I had questions. I would highly recommend Donald's Company!! I am for sure going to spread how good this company did to anyone I know needing paint work done!! Thank you Anointed Power!!"
