[NorCal Gameshow]

how do you attach the lights? i don't want to use staples this year.
i've got a 2x6 facia board i wonder if those plastic clips hold up....

that is what I use.. they do work pretty good and you can remove them without little holes everywhere in the board. :shift:

If you have gutters then the plastic gutter clips work fantastic.

thanks, i don't want to ruin my new paint job wtih those staples hanging there after i pull the lights down...
do your clips go on the facia or the roof shingles?

[tamalewagon]

went up the weekend after Thanksgiving. Can't help it, I love Christmas lights! At least I don't leave them up all year. :D :D

[NorCal Gameshow]

If you have gutters then the plastic gutter clips work fantastic.
no gutters...it's on the gable. and I usually lay on the roof and staple the lights under the facia....two stories suck :frown:

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

:frown: they hook to the gutters.. Maybe they have some that hook to the roof somehow if you don't have gutters.

[NorCal Gameshow]

:frown: they hook to the gutters.. Maybe they have some that hook to the roof somehow if you don't have gutters.
thanks....i'm off to lowe's and ace to see what i can get

[voodoomedman]

On the parts of the roof that don't have gutters I will shove the clips around the roof shingles capping the edge. It's worth a try. There is a trick though. Have somebody hold your slack. This works to hold 1 or 2 lights in place but if you have all the weight from your slack pulling on one clip then they will all come down and you will have a bunch or broken bulbs on the ground.

[rrrr]

There are clips available that slide under the edge of the shingle along the fascia. They work great. I also used 'em to clip the "net" lights to the vertical side of our shrubs.
I put most of the lights up last weekend, going out in a minute to finish the job.
:cool: :cool:

[LilHarley]

Yup, use those clips myself and work great. Mine are up and blinking away!

[JetBoatRich]

We will try to get the decorations down this morning and lights up :rolleyes: needed to wait until the weather warmed past freezing :D

[RiverOtter]

Gonna go get the tree and start the lights today :sleeping:

[ROZ]

do your clips go on the facia or the roof shingles?
I put our lights up the day after Thanksgiving..
I put our lights on the roof shingles with the bulbs facing up... Looks great :)

[Riverhound]

Lights were up the day after Thanksgiving and the wife finshed decorating the inside yesterday. Oh and I even put up the tree in a box.
Bring it on Santa, Were ready for ya! :)

[BarryMac]

Mine are up yearround, just like if I lived in Beaumont... :D

[NorCal Gameshow]

Put them up Yesterday, the kids were really excited about it last night!
So we go for a drive down the block, when we come up to our house, my youngest son says " Dad, that sure is a beautiful house" !
Made 1/2 a day of work, worth it all.

[welk2party]

Wanted to do it this weekend but the rain is delaying that project. Not really interested in working with electricity on a wet roof.
