I put up our Christmas lights all by myself!!! I've never done it before and I did it first time out of the gate without falling off the ladder! My dad came over and played with little man while I did it. It was a great day for putting up lights...sunny and 60!!! Amazing for Oregon in December!
There was one minor snafu. I had checked each strand indoors and then put them up one at a time. Once I plugged them all in, half of one strand was out!!!! Argh!!! Fortunately, my mom was able to stop by on her way home so I could replace that one strand. It went really quick.
I used about 2/3 of a box of gutter clips...of the four boxes of 100 clips and 2 boxes of 25 eaves clips that I bought. Whoops! Wasn't sure how many I needed and didn't want to have to run back to the store. LOL!
Anyway, they are up and on and I can't wait for Andrew to get home and see them!!!
If it stays dry tonight I'll post pics! :D

Beautiful!! WTG on hanging those lights all by yourself. I'm sure your hubby will love it :)
ReplyDeletegreat job woman! I have never decorated the outside of my house... I hope all is well with you and your family... I have been thinking about the ckc seattle crew everytime I see the flooding on the news!
ReplyDeleteLooks great!
ReplyDeleteVery impressive. I'm making my husband do the outdoor stuff this year. Yesterday, he got one entire window done. He's a little slow-going when it comes to chores around the house! Your house looks great! You should do a page about it ...
ReplyDeletegreat job, that is moe than I could do for sure, well at 5 foot 2...I could probably decorate a bush!
ReplyDeletegreat job mamma!
Good job. I certainly have never attempted that feat! I love the descriptions of your blogging buddies. Too funny
ReplyDeleteGreat job on hanging the lights! They look great in the picture! I always wanted to do this to our house, but my DH doesn't want to, and I would surely fall off the ladder - I lose my balance on a step stool! LOL
