A+ production - no fluff just a clean how-to guide. Love to see it.

[@barryyoung1923]

Thank you for this! I was about to pay someone $600 to hand Christmas lights at my house, which was way too much for our small house. I watched this spent this than a $100 at Lowe’s and my house looks great!

Sunset at Shabooms and a very merry CHRISTmas to you sir!!!

[@morganchristmaslights3669]

One thing I have done in the past is at almost any store there are large plastic bins you can buy for fairly cheap. Then just using any personal preference you can wrap each light strand individually and put it in the bin. Easy and cheap.

[@kyandi3]

You forgot the absolute most important rule in hanging lights! You must test them first to make sure they actually light up! You don’t want to spend all that time and energy setting up an elaborate display only to discover that some of the bulbs are burned out, or a whole strand just doesn’t light up. Always do a quick test first!

[@lowes]

Absolutely! If needed, here's another helpful video on how to replace a holiday light bulb or fuse if any are not working - kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHzXn6mdqal-qNE

Best lights ever. Thanks

[@rosaryholmes421]

I like the way you did the Christmas lights

[@kale6264]

I really enjoyed this video, wish this was a show

[@chrstthms01]

I can't seem to catch how she did the columns. How did she connect each set to the extension cord?

[@PoshPennies]

great video, i have no idea what i'm doing and this helped, lol

[@michellemiah296]

Same! Lol

[@tommygames7489]

Sammeeeeee

[@GO15546]

Awesome video!

[@GillDawe]

Love the combination of white and coloured lights, I'm not normally a fan of white because it doesn't look as fun to me, but this was a great balance!

[@mark689]

I hear you. I like white though, I feel like all white would give an elegant feel. Looking forward to this holiday season.

[@ollieandchloe]

Awesome video. My husband and I bought our first home and would love to decorate our house for Xmas. We had no idea these things even existed ..net lighting for bushes, multi purpose clips, light extender pole, etc. Wow! Very informative video! THANK YOU!

[@turisteandoentexas]

My hubby has to watch this for real 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃 Thank you!

[@javierg602]

The light clip extender pole might be the greatest invention of all time. Don't argue.

[@kristinakristina]

Oh my, the lady is so adorable !!

[@AtHomeByTheCreek]

Help..... one part has abit of information left out. At the garage you are running an extension cord from one set of lights to another. How? All extension cords have one wider prong and do not fit into the lighted cord. I don't get how you can do that.

[@thesunshine0064]

Great video! Please make a video about lighting and extension cords, how to deal with connections in different weather like rain etc. We’re new home owners and we are clueless.

[@michaellwalker8748]

For snowy rainy weather, there are green waterproof capsules you can by that cover the junction between two extension chords. They're green and plastic with rubber seals.

[@thesunshine0064]

Michael L Walker Thank you very much

[@Katrina-01]

Michael L Walker thanks so much!

[@AydenYoung]

You could also put the connections in a plastic Tupperware type container and cut holes for the cords to go out each side.

[@michaelkadziolka3626]

just elevate your connections and never tape them. if water gets in you want it to be able to get out and not stay trapped inside the connection

[@christopherabell569]

I liked the led lights that you used to decorate your home I think that led lights are the perfect decoration to use.

Can I hire you guys to come decorate my house

[@chan3ll3love]

A light clip extender pole?!?! This changes everything

[@davidsterett202]

I decorate my play house my room and sometimes the lights on the roof and it’s holiday seasons gonna be awesome

[@edharris6884]

Nice video. I enjoy putting up the Christmas lights.....but hate taking them down😆

[@dawnsstar5918]

Looks fabulous. I'm the type that likes completely warm white lights as it reminds me of snow, that we don't get often, however..... I was actually awed driving around my neighborhood where a moderate looking home had completely enwrapped their house in bright cool super white lights. It was absolutely gorgeous, if not magical looking.....like snow.

[@SARDOG]

Just did our lights and used a spool of 100 white LEDs and used the pole clip thingy. We have a peak in ournroof and that was def a challenge getting the lights hooked on. Brother in lawn is going to come over and get on the roof and make sure they're all in good. In would def give the pole and clip system an 8 out of 10. Diggin the path lights. Ordering now.

[@wheelzwheela]

First: buy an $800,000 house. Next: decorate in September.

[@mommashawna707]

I live in. Vegas and our ground is so solid due to the clay, any suggestions on how to get ground lights with those darn plastic stakes into the ground? I seem to have tried everything I can think of like using a rubber mallet but the plastic either bends or breaks.

[@michaelwarren2391]

A few ideas - Soften the ground with water where you want to put the lights. It will take a few hours for the water to work. You could also try driving metal stake into the ground and then removing, to create a pilot hole for the plastic stakes. Put the light in a flower pot with either potting soil or small stones.

[@hopperjuice]

Drive a metal stake into the grown 1st. Remove it. Add your stakes. I do it ever year out here in vegas

[@detotheangel0]

Move out of the desert

[@essaboselin5252]

Pick up some cheap terra cotta pots (or use plastic), fill them with some stone or mulch, stick the stakes in those.

Excellent DIY guide

Awesome job, thank you for sharing. 🎄

[@angelarussell5235]

I liked the video but I have an old brick home with no siding on it. The gutters have gutter guards. So how do I hang the lights now. I will probably need something to install on the wood.

[@kaiulanisallas9005]

Those command hooks seemed cool

[@Venicegeral]

Such a great video!! Very helpful.

[@sarapawsonherrington2595]

The tress are lovely. I did one that had a lot of bare wood house lights (DeSerres) and cottages . It is sort of Scandinavian I guess. I love Christmas too!

[@22barron22]

Those clips shown at 5:18 suck. The same company makes a much better clip and they're available at that other blue themed big box store.

[@showbizwisconsin8350]

Usually you dont need clips behind siding. I can just tuck the string inside and point the bulbs outward.

[@francisgonzalez2830]

Looks beautiful! Good job.

[@LauraBallard-v3h]

We just got leaf filter gutters and guards..what clips do you recommend

[@lowes]

Great question, Laura! You can check out this link for our recommended clips: www.lowes.com/search?searchTerm=christmas%20light%20clips%20for%20gutters. The Holiday Living clip is the one featured in the video, but feel free to explore the other options as some of the designs might work better with your gutter guard. If you need anything else, please let us know.

[@margoriegutierrez]

Where is the links for the products ? The Christmas lights link doesn’t show the products used

[@motivatedbrands]

Well done. Great video

[@TheFrostyCreeper]

so to get that separation between each window, do you just have to buy a ridiculous amount of extension cords? I don't know how people trim individual windows and this video kind of glossed over that part

[@brooklyner6]

I wish you can create a link to these things used in the video ! And also will the gen contractor is what we need or an electrician to help with the roof top lighting? Like when he went on the roof and around the windows ?

[@kaiulanisallas9005]

I agree! How did they light around the windows

OK so how would you put lights on a house that has stucco and tile?

[@britneygutierrez10]

Hi where I get those clips and adhesives ?

[@jerilane4420]

My net lights have a white cord and many plastic tie clips that I wonder about . Are they there to keep the cords in place or should they be cut off as they are not twist ties but the stronger tie down bands

[@Vjlama]

How hang lights on flat surface .?? Bcoz hook doesn’t work here .??? Advice plz??

[@jayvid9044]

Same here! You didn't show us in the video how to hang lights on the sides if the roof with no gutter; how do we hang lights there?

[@jarrettpierce5626]

gonna give it a go today thank you!

[@Lincolntowncoupe]

Are there no clips for around the front door that aren't adhesive? I've tried 3M outdoor hooks and they do stick until you accidentally touch one and it immediately falls off

[@olgina31]

Love it.. 😍😍

[@yhanngaming9145]

I love it!!!!

[@ditagriffith1186]

Beautiful. How can I reach you for help.

[@Sig_P229]

I use hooks to hang. Drill bit the wood 1 size smaller then hand screw in a 7/8 hook. It looks better and after the first year you do not even need a ladder. Hang them with a pole!

[@Shaun_2024]
