RichardH 0 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Started hanging lights yesterday. A lot of the trees still have leaves but working on the pine trees right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave H 10 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 Need a PC ruling I am transitioning to green and red C9 leds along the fascia of the house and also adding the same to the hips and ridges. My 1000ft reel of white stringers have been unwoiund in the front yard and I have hung (temporary) to measure, cut and start installing the clips. I just finished taking them down to solder the spt3 leads on them. Still 90 here, too hot to start the roof area. Does this constitute starting to hang ????? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The SnowMan 2 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 The weather postponed my startup until tomorrow. Cold don't bother me that wind is still howlin! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JimCanfield 0 Posted October 10, 2009 Report Share Posted October 10, 2009 3rd or 4th weekend of October for my roof grid then everything depends on when the grass stops growing. I will get my mini-mega tree up as soon as I get my lights from Travis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cenote 0 Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 Started last week in sept. House is done in white, and icicles. Have three colors left to do, Blue going on this week. I try and get house done before leaves drop, takes two to three weeks around here for me to do leaves, so that kills me on lights rate around Halloween, and beginning of Nov. Trees get wrapped the middle of Nov. All my lawn stuff, century tree, and arches, go up the week of Thanksgiving. Lights on Saturday night after Thanksgiving. (47d 47m) if anybody counting...

Guest Lightzilla Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 I can probably set up outside and no one well laugh at me or make jokes, because it has been snowing the past 3 days, and then melt, then snow, then melt ans so on. The early snow seems to bring out Christmas shoppers. Anyhow, I am still working on my display building things.....those need to be completed 1st then I can set up the display. It is cold now, so whether I set up now or in November it makes no difference, it is cold....seems I always seem to set up in the cold and snow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BaldEagleChristmas 24 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Somewhat sick, but I'm glad to hear of your pain. At least I know I'm not alone. The only thing you didn't mention was chores... before the new snow deadline of Columbus Day! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Joseph Ayo 0 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 When are you planning to start hanging Christmas lights? Just kinda wondering when everyone will start. Already been underway here for weeks. Got a tree lift a few weeks ago, always start with the highest places first and work my way down... afterall with it raining every couple days and breaking records with 93 degree days and 77 degree nights, we are still on once a week lawn mowing duty here so anything that gets in the way of the mower is not good.

Guest showtime Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 Put some on the roof last night and it was about 24 degrees out lol.:121_reindeer: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry the weather is rough over there but isnt this supposed to be California fire season with everything burning down? You guys have almost been needing a super el nino to wash away the drought and fill Lake Tahoe back up. The El Nino came has already done away with the drought in Florida over the summer and we are expecting an unusually wet dry season this winter. Oh Joy... lots of unusually wet nights coming in December for us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
promustangman 0 Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 well we do need the rain but not all NOW!!! LOL!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JIMMINECHRISTMAS 0 Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 Monday, November 2nd, one of my buddies is going to help me start with the high stuff. Still waiting for more lights to be delivered. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
indytycoon 0 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I started the higher reach places Sunday. (Roof line and roof grid) Will continue that this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest showtime Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I got the roof and one side of the house done yesterday. The weather was great, now today its raining? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FandomFilms 0 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 This coming Saturday we'll start doing the bushes and trees as well as other places we can put bulbs that won't get in the way of the lawn being cut. Have two more mows before we can put stuff on the ground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cotrill 0 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Halloween day for me, usually I do the 1st of November, but since Saturday will be wasted if I don't, I think I'll start then. I usually do like most others around here, start at the top and work my way down. (roof first) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alabama_Santa 0 Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Oct. 31 for me, like other usually Nov. 1st but If Sat. is realy nice I dont think I san wait. I will try and start with stuff that can not be seen from the street that easy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The SnowMan 2 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 So I got a little carried away... Most bushes are done and small side of the house is done(siding) Just couldn't stop! The rest will have to wait until after Halloween, just wanted to get some of the less obvious work done so I could free up some time for the rest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Toymakr000 1 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 I will be starting Sunday Nov.8 at about 6:00P.M. The first string will be at the Eastern most side on the roof. I will work up there until the kids go to bed at 9:00. Then I will start wrapping the crab apple tree so the kids don't hear me stomping around on the roof;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
belias21 0 Posted October 26, 2009 Report Share Posted October 26, 2009 Well, I typically start on the Saturday after Thanksgiving as my wife has reserved Black Friday for shopping and it's hard to string lights with 2 kids at your feet. This year, however, I have a lot more than prior years, so I'm thinking I might start on the weekend before Thanksgiving. I initially thought that was too early - that is... until I read everyone's prior responses. :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
