I’ve never installed holiday lights before, so I just bought a bunch of stuff on Amazon and I sort of hope it fits together. #ChildhoodHumanStuffLesleyNeverDid

@hacks4pancakes Good luck!
RiskFromHome@hacks4pancakes oooh... what are those clippy things at the top there? seems like a much better solution than my use of "last year's rusty old pushpins that are still on the house"
@RiskFromHome I didn’t know either, they hang off your shingles or gutters
Jonzeolla@hacks4pancakes I highly recommend one piece bulbs for the future. The two piece (replaceable) ones don't last more than a couple years IME
@Jonzeolla they’re cheap 🤷🏻♀️🍸🍸🍸
@hacks4pancakes yeah my brother-in-law gets all his lights from second hand stores and then just throws them out at the end of each year. To each their own
I just try to balance the waste and utility, without needing to spend hours each year testing bulbs to get half of that strand to light back up again
THIS ACCOUNT HAS MOVED@hacks4pancakes uh oh. Best not to buy them on Amazon. In my experience, a local hardware store has better quality stuff.
@noplasticshower way too late now XD
@hacks4pancakes maybe you can cancel the order?!
@noplasticshower nah, besides I probably can't afford the stuff at the hardware store.
Aylab@hacks4pancakes That's super exciting!
There's nothing more exhilarating than trying to untangle a string of mini-lights. 😀
moonstripe@hacks4pancakes as long as you have the holiday spirit (wine) it takes to untangle wires for a few hours, you've got the hang of it!

Remember the trick is once they are up is to see how long you can leave them up.

@hacks4pancakes I've used the ladderless clips for the past few years, they are way quicker to put up.

Ray—Golden Retriever Whisperer—🔝Insights@hacks4pancakes be careful when hanging the lights along the eaves, please.
Sabrina/Brie@hacks4pancakes You'll have fun - enjoy! 🎄
Michael Wenthold@hacks4pancakes be careful. We started this years ago and it’s become slightly addictive. It can be a lot of fun though!
Gary@hacks4pancakes It's only electricity. What could go wrong?
Is this for outside? I've also never done any lights outside.
dondasch@hacks4pancakes Ooo, holiday quandaries, I like it !
@hacks4pancakes I learned the toughest parts to this are:
1. Not falling off the roof.
2. Making sure the clips stay put.
3. Enough cords and outlets in the right spots.
Last year I picked up a smart outlet for outside and smart plugs for the house that worked with Home Kit. Each night the girls get to say “Hey Siri! Turn on Christmas!”
