Smart, very smart. I like the part where he looks at the camera and says something like - The lights look okay but it's really for my wife and kids. Good man, man.
Thank you SO much for making this video. We are putting lights on a new house for the first time and my husband is not about risking his life for our lights- these ideas will save our light hanging!
Watching in 2020. The pully, reinforcing the entire line with rope, the pre intalled hooks, THE WINDOWS! This video gave me some excellent ideas to use together with PVC pipe. Thanks for this video buddy. MERRY CHRISTMAS to everyone!!!
Easier. On inside i put 4hooks on all windows and hook a correct size lite net for shrubs. Works fantastic Put on a timer Lites last longer because they are inside
Cool. I've seen J channel and pvc pipe, but rope seems cheaper and more flexible. The kids and I are excited about this idea. The husband does NOT send his thanks. ;)
+J K haha sorry husband! Yeah the Rope is flexible and it's much easier to store. But the idea of a PVC pipe or j-channel would be good if you weren't doing icicle type lights, you could control the orientation of every single light and that would be good...
I used hooks like this: Everbilt #8 Zinc-Plated Steel Screw Hook (25-Piece per Pack) www.homedepot.com/p/Everbilt-8-Zinc-Plated-Steel-Screw-Hook-25-Piece-per-Pack-803282/204273838 SKU# 204273838 If you pre-drill a hole that is just a bit smaller than the hook threadsand only about a finger deep, it'll go in easy and grab tight once you get to the bottom of your drilled hole.
That part is challenging. I run white extension cords up the front of the house. I make them custom length from a 250 foot roll of 18 gauge lamp cord and plugs like these: www.1000bulbs.com/category/christmas-light-plugs/
What climate do you live in. Are the window clips command hooks? Would they stay attached in very cold, snow climate. I live in the NE. I like you pulley idea. But how do you keep the lights on the rope. What type of rope since you probably needed 50’? Pulley idea seems good since I’m older and family hate me going up on ladders.
Simple Smart Space, I have my four hooks, pulley, white twine and 30 ft of lights, putting it up tomorrow. I'll let you know how we make out! Thanks again!

Putting up christmas lights is one of the best parts of the season. It is a work of art!!

That's awesome glad it helped! Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
Thanks for rope pulley idea.
Loved your video. Loved how you figured out a quick and easy way to hang the lights.
Great video, but i must say....
Putting up christmas lights is one of the most exciting things I do all year!!
This year especially. 😉
I love the cat just straight up chillin
That's how she do
HAHAHA you crack me up! Thanks for the tips and humor!
That is genius. I must admit!
Genius!

My old house was almost identical to yours -- but some of this will come in handy in my current house too, despite the different shape. Thanks!
+T. McAllister you bet, it's really about the concept! Happy lighting!
Can you go into more detail about that pulley on the left? For us newbies?
I love the rope idea. It's an eloquent solution. Can a closed-loop eye be used instead of the pulley, or am I missing something with the pulley?
Loved your funny sense of humor, keep that in all your videos, and loved your tutorial, I thought it was wise. Thanks for sharing. I sub.
+Helen Castoza thanks for the encouragement. As you can tell I've been slacking...
Who you kiddin dude, you love putting up them lights just as much as those kids love seein' them! lol
Great idea, I always have patients in hospital with broken bones, not enjoying his lights and the holidays after a fall.
+Mauli Ako lol I hate the idea of spending any amount of time broken let alone the holidays. Hopefully this bed might save a broken knee or two! 😉
“I don’t know, someone will be thankful” hahahahaha
Glad to see I'm not the only one who has a feline supervisor. I don't have the window access the way you do, but I like the rope idea.
+Andy Tanner feline supervisor lol. Yeah she's a good cat!

genius dude. Sucks my roof is all uneven though with a super steep front landing. I'd try it though
I LOVE your dry humor, but it would be helpful if you could have given more details about the actual hooks and how you placed them.

Very cool. Nice house too!

Bad ass! Thanks great tips and tricks!
+Johnnie Dunford very welcome!
Where do you plug in the windows? Great ideas

Very helpful thanks!

I'm in northern Utah, the command hooks seem to hold in the cold. I used zip ties and cheap poly rope for minimal stretching.
@@simplesmartspace9203 thanks
Thank you!
+Tony Woods my pleasure thanks for watching!
Simple Smart Space, I have my four hooks, pulley, white twine and 30 ft of lights, putting it up tomorrow. I'll let you know how we make out! Thanks again!
Brilliant!
Thank for the tip!!!!!
+Alex Garcia thank you!
@@simplesmartspace9203 what ladder was shown in the video? Can I please have the name? Tia
Love the video! How did you plug in your window lights on the second story
There should be an outlet near each window. Or you have to use extension cords. You can also use lights with batteries.
Oh ok so you actually plugged them in inside? Nice
I use white extension cords running down the outside of the house.
Trust me I’m an engineer
LOL
