Paul Roberson Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 It's awesome to see/hear of husbands, wives, and kids or even neighbors/friends helping with the display.While my wife and kids want the display put up this year looks like I am on my own getting it done.

Dan C Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Same here Paul, I asked my wife to come out and help me decide on where to put an extra set of lights. Her response, "Just throw them on the roof, Can I go inside now?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jstorms Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Setting up the lights coincides with my birthday, so when I'm asked what do I want for my birthday I always ask for help setting up the lights.So yesterday my wife staked 1000 C6 LEDs around the yard. Each with it's own stake. She has blisters on her hands due to the ground being rock hard from the drought. She also got attacked by fireants.I was doing our bushes where bees always hang out. Gotta be careful installing net lights on bushes you share with bees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She hasn't blistered yet (although there ARE other causes for blisters on the thumb or palm I hear) but without all her help there's no way I'd be ready by Thanksgiving this year. Now if only she was even remotely interested in sequencing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
