Q: How can you tell which Christmas light is burned without a tester?

• <div><p>If you need to visually inspect your Christmas lights to determine which are good and which need replacement, there are a few things to look for. First, look for discoloration, such as a dark spot or two on the inside of the glass. The spot is an indication of a burnt filament. Also, look for missing filaments, cracked bulb glass, and broken sockets.</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 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: Can I fix a string of lights without a tester?

• <div><p>Yes, you can try removing and replacing each individual light bulb one at a time until you find the problem bulb&mdash;just be prepared for it to take a while. The bulb tester is worth the investment if you don&rsquo;t have a lot of extra time to spare or need to test several strands of lights.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to have your house decorated for Christmas?

• <div><p>The cost to have your house decorated for Christmas depends on the extent of your holiday vision. Interior decorators charge between <b>$50 and $150 per hour </b>on average, so if your decorations are minimal, you could pay as little as <b>$200 </b>for a couple of hours of decorating.

"They did a good job but the scheduling was a problem. They were scheduled to come at 1 PM. They arrived at 11 AM. I had to leave for an appointment at 11:30 and they couldn't get the job done before I left. If they didn't do then they would not be able to come back until July. Fortunately I wanted them to clean the windows in the sunroom and we could lock the the rest of the house so they only had access to the sunroom. They were about half way done when I had to leave. When I got back at 1 PM they were done and everything was in good shape.
