xmasboy Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 So here we go again. We have a huge box of extension cords in the basement, but somebody decides to go through one of the light boxes and cuts all the wire ties on one of my wiring harnesses so that can use the cord for the leaf blower. Very frusturating!Does anyone else ever get frusturated with their family undoing their light work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, all the kids are gone now---makes all the difference in the world on that kind of stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they still go in the plastic tubs and use wiring harnesses. It's not that big of a deal, but it's an extra 10 minutes for me to fix that when display time is already extremely limited and things like this happen frequently.

I've made it pretty clear, in the friendliest and most loving, and yet the firmest way I know how, that my Christmas light stuff is off-limits. Period. All of it. No exceptions. And it's never been a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
