Super User Bassn Blvd Posted November 30, 2008 Super User Posted November 30, 2008 Well, after 5 years of procrastination I finally decided to take the wife shopping for Christmas lights and decorations to hang outside. I got half way through screwing the hooks into the facia boards and it started to rain/pour. Oh well, the motivation has now left so I guess she'll have to wait 5 more years. Quote
Super User skunked_again Posted November 30, 2008 Super User Posted November 30, 2008 putting them up is the easy part. taking them down afterwards is the work. Quote
aceman387 Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 its alot of work to store the stuff and trying to untangle the mess ,than a big wind comes and half of it goes out i like to just pile everybody in the car and go drive around and look at everybody elses. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted November 30, 2008 Super User Posted November 30, 2008 It sucks. Just came in from the cold rain (thank God for good raingear) I have two small kids, I kinda have to do it. I'd rather hang a few wreaths and put some electric candles in the windows, but what'ya gonna do ? I got Clark Griswold living a block away. This guy is off the hook. Does his entire BACKYARD in addition to the front. It does look good though, I gotta give him credit. My wife doesn't want to hear me b$&* about hanging lights in the rain 'cause I don't have a problem fishing in it! Quote
