    Did they take photos? That's a good indicator that it is really big. Hope it recovers well for you.

    This is what I ended up doing today. Need to go back and finish tomorrow (and clean the gutters).



    Surprisingly, hanging Christmas lights isn't as fun as it sounds. Individually screwing in each bulb, the individually installing each clip, then custom making each strand with custom fitted ends. All while hanging on for dear life because the roof is a 10/12 pitch and made of plastic, so your specially grippy roof shoes do absolutely dick to help you stay alive. Just not as fun as it sounds.

    They are LEDs, but when you buy a 1,000ft roll of wire with sockets, the bulbs come individually. "Bulbs" look like crystal, but are heavy plastic. Everything is surprisingly durable.

    Could be worse...if you were married to it, that would be an annual unpaid affair until life insurance was inevitably collected by your spouse.

    My daughter was so mad when she found out I was putting up lights for some other house and not ours.
