Deacon_Raptor Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Wondering if any of you have some tips to offer on hanging icicle lights (XMas, the ones that hang from the gutters)....My icicles are a particularly pernicious variety....very beautiful but sheer evil. They are in the form of snowflakes....actually its like a plastic snowflake, with lights behind it. The trick is, I am terrified of heights....but last year I found a pole-thingee at Lowes, that allows you to put icicles up from the ground. Anyways, here I am now lol. Got the pole, (works like a charm putting the clips up, even if you arent scared to death of heights I recommend it that, it seriously made putting the clips up a breeze), got the icicles, etc. So I get out there, I start putting them up, and soon Im entrenched in combat with the darn things getting tangled 20-30 feet up. Then the only answer is to take them all down again, fix them, and then try putting them up again. Wash, rinse, and repeat.Any tips? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natedog Posted November 21, 2005 Report Share Posted November 21, 2005 (edited) Hm...tricky. I've never put icicles up higher than a 10 foot ceiling, so I don't have a hieghts issue. I would think to string/spread them out on the ground. So as you put them up, have a friend keep them taut so they don't entagle each other. I don't know if that'd work but it's the best I got...
