Another thing my dad and I did this afternoon was to put up the LED lights I bought. It took us about an hour to nail plastic wire holders on the wooden eaves of the house to hold the plastic tube housing. The string of lights is battery powered so we installed that on the inside of the garage where we can turn on/off and control the lighting program with a remote. It was barely visible during the day, but it turned out okay when viewed at night.
It’s not very impressive but it’s the first set up outdoor lights that we’ve put up for Christmas, ever. You can’t tell from the photo but the lights alternate colors and blink on and off. Not bad for our first attempt. I’m thinking I’ll just leave the LED light strip up all year, and only turn it on during December. Each year, I’ll spend another $20 and put up a new light strip on the house somewhere. Eventually we’ll go all out like our neighbor:
Okay, probably not.
