lights
we spent a few bucks after chirstmas for about 4 times as many lights as we needed. we spent another 20$ this year getting power adapters for our outside lights, extention chords, and two more digital timers (which will be weatherized before put into service) and another 5$ on little eye hooks which we opened up and screwed in about 60 of them to hang the lights off of (next year should be easier). I need to balance the top tier, but we'll wait for my hands to thaw out first. we lost about 8 bulbs and one drill bit, so we're pretty happy nothing has burned down, yet. I think we're learning that we should not wait until it's 15 degrees outside before we put up the lights.

I've so far managed to avoid putting up lights :). I appreciate looking at the people's houses who do... but man that is a lot more work than it looks like.
it'd of been alot less work if my standards were lower. I wanted a hook every two feet, ya know, so could hang off the lights if you needed too.
very well done. i like looking at houses that have nice lights like that. we did it one year had a really big wind storm that blew down part of the fence and so some of the lights didn't survive. we haven't had the energy to put them up again...
