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 leave my Christmas lights up year-round?

• <div><p>Good news, Christmas lovers: you can<b> </b>keep your lights up all year, provided you choose the type. It's critical that you choose holiday lights made for outdoor use, as these can withstand winter weather conditions. In addition, it's best to use <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/incandescent-vs-led.htm">LED lights instead of incandescent ones</a>. LED bulbs can withstand temperature shifts and are energy efficient. </p><p>If you are considering leaving your holiday lights up year-round, ask your lighting installer about permanent installation. This project costs around <b>$3,500</b> but gives you about six to 10 years of LED lights and adds a pleasing aesthetic to your home. </p></div>

Q: Are there any alternative methods for how to hang Christmas lights on fascia?

• <div><p>There aren&rsquo;t many alternative methods to hanging Christmas lights on fascia without using clips. But if you don&rsquo;t have fascia clips to hang your Christmas lights, you can use clothespins in a pinch. To do this, hold the strand of lights in place and clip it in place with the clothespin. Using nails or staples is never a good idea, as they can damage your fascia.</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>

Q: How many string lights can be on one outlet?

• <div><p>How many string lights can be on one outlet depends on a number of varying factors, including the total wattage of your circuit, the type of lights, the energy needs of the lights, and cord specifications. It&rsquo;s better to play it safe here to protect your circuit, so figure out the max wattage of your circuit, compare that to the lights, and move on from there. Generally speaking, LED string lights require less energy than incandescent bulbs, translating to a higher number of lights per circuit. </p></div>

"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.
