      @@Tristan.Kalina it’s all good on the course buddy. how exactly do you measure each job you don’t measure the height of the house so you? Just measure the length of the house and that’s your linear process? $8 a foot

    You don’t need to splice your wires before putting into kales and females. Our general rule is ridges on the right, there’s ridges on the wire and as long as it’s on the right side of the male/female it works.
    Also you do not need to charge $8/foot. Our business has been running for 5 years now, doubling in customers and nearly tripling in profits every year while charging $4.50-$6.50/foot

      Hey man appreciate the comment!
      We do $8-$10, potentially $12
      4.50/6.50 has been a serious problem with keeping workers happy and sustaining profitability in our area.
      Hope you’re doing well!

    Awesome. I’m currently traveling and heading back to the states on December 8th. Do you think there’s still business to be made just 2 weeks out from Christmas?

    You should have links to the equipment mentioned in your description. If I went to my hardware store and said I needed a goat, they would say this isn't a farm.

    Awesome video: Are C9 sockets put onto the spt wire? also what is the difference between spt wire and extension cords, or are they the same thing?

    • @Tristan.Kalina
      @Tristan.Kalina  Год назад

      Spt and extension cords are same thing.
      And the c9 socket comes in a spool so everything is already attached.

    Do you have a Christmas lights course? When first starting do you need to set up an LLC? Or can you just advertise and hang lights on the down low till you get established?

    Thank you for coolest video about Christmas lights, very cool, good teacher.
    A couple questions,
    It turns out that you do not sell the client lights, you kind of give him a lease to use then at the end of the season you take the light for storage. And then for the next season you take the same payment or with a small discount, right?

    • @Tristan.Kalina

    Does anyone know if there’s a way they can pay for the lights first then you install them because I don’t think I would have the money to buy them at first
