Christmas lights, ugh!
| Tue, 11-30-2004 - 9:54pm |
Someone please help me out here. I am having one of my "I CAN do this without a man" moments. Jen and I went outside this evening and hung Christmas lights on the house. We tried the roof clips and that stunk so we whipped out the duck or duct tape, whatever it is. That looked really stupid. Then my neighbor came home and offered her staple gun, that was cool. So, we froze out tails off and hung the lights, it took about 6-8 strands to get across the front of the house. Jen held the ladder, that was sinking into the grass because we have had rain lately, while I stapled the lights up. When we were done we wound pine garland around the posts and around the little lamp post in the front yard. I hung a prety wreath on the front door. We turned the lights on and they looked wonderful! We were so proud..
We went in and ate beef stew and warmed up and got ready to go to my nephews birthday party. Yes, I took my young girlfriend to my ex's family event, but thats another story.
Anyway, when we shut the door all the lights went out :(
I tried the outlet and it works. I know because I plugged a radio into it and it worked. Soooo, please tell me I don't have to check all the strands individually, while on the ladder, in the cold. Or worse, all the lights, they are icicle ligts, millions of them. HELP, I have them all up and it took so long and they looked so nice, I am sad now. My neighbors must think I am weird, hanging them and then not turning them on...*sigh*

We just got Home Depot here a couple of years ago. Before that it was just Lowes.
I was just thinking for someone who has no idea what an electrical tool looks like it would help to ask someone in the department.
Still, you gotta love Home Depot!
