Christmas Light Hanging and Removal Tips
Roofs get more attention this time of year than perhaps any other time due to the beauty of Christmas lights adorning their outline and the special guest who is expected to arrive on December 24th.
Outdoor Light Tips:
– Before installing any lights, test the strands to make sure they work
– Dispose of any damaged or frayed strands
– Find your best outdoor power source – typically located near the porch area
– Invest in a weather-proof extension cord
– Don’t work alone! Have a helper with you to hand the lights, align them correctly and hold the ladder when needed
– Install fasteners to help you lay the lights in a more uniform and easier to set up way, heavy duty plastic or rubber are the best material fastener to use
– Don’t connect more than three strands together at a time, otherwise you could incur more of a fire risk from an overloaded system
– Get on the ground to inspect your work and make adjustment as necessary
Remember safety is paramount! Don’t try to install lights in poor weather or without someone to help!
When it comes time to remove your decorations, use the same care and common sense. It’s a good idea to shut off the outside electricity. Dispose of anything that may have become damaged during the season. Store properly and label for next year!
