Q: How do you make Christmas lights easy to hang next year?

• <div><p>Take a picture of your house to easily replicate the same design for next year and keep the clips and accessories. When storing your lights, wrap them around cardboard so they don&rsquo;t get tangled. Purchase a ladderless extension pole kit to hang your lights (around <b>$30 to $50</b>) for hard to reach areas.</p></div>

Q: What maintenance is required for holiday lights?

• <div><p>Inspect for burnt-out bulbs, secure connections, and protect from water exposure to maintain functionality.</p></div>

Q: Can tree decorators handle artificial Christmas trees?

• <div><p>Decorators often prefer artificial Christmas trees. They&rsquo;re easier to handle and shape, and decorators don&rsquo;t have to worry about bugs or allergies. It&rsquo;s also an ideal choice because artificial trees keep up appearances without owners needing to schedule watering. </p><p>However, always confirm that decorators are ready to unbox and set up the artificial tree. If they don&rsquo;t include tree set-up in their services, you may need to hire a general handyperson for that task.</p><p> </p></div>

Q: What order do you decorate a Christmas tree?

• <div><p>You should always hang the lights before the ornaments because hanging lights on top of ornaments can cause some to fall off. If a light sits directly on top of an ornament, it can cause it to heat up and possibly change its color or cause it to crack. </p></div>

They love our dog and he loves to go there. We have a Chihuahua so he is easy to pick up. I don't know if the price is reasonable as I've never taken my dog anywhere else. I think regularly they charge $21 a day but over a holidays like we boarded him during Easter they take $2 more a day.

We had a great experience with Jim, the owner of the company. He didn't try to sell us more than we needed, and actually saved us money by suggesting that we didn't need all of the equipment that the "big" HVAC company we received a quote from was trying to sell us. During installation, Jim...
