Yes, I know, it's way too early to hang XMAS lights. However, we have a neighbor kid (his name is Dax) who was just told he would not live thru Christmas (brain cancer I think, maybe leukemia). Anywho, apparently, the story made CNN last night and our neighborhood is pulling together to celebrate XMAS early by displaying our XMAS lights much earlier than normal so he can enjoy one last XMAS with his parents.
This leads to my question... I have about 2000 icicle lights to hang this weekend and it's rather easy to hook them up using those special plastic roof hooks. The problem is, the front of my home faces due north so winter wind gusts tend to blow the icicle lights onto the roof rendering them useless. Does anyone have a trick to keeping them in position so they always hang down as planned? Boater owners/operators are clever people so I need your collective help!
Thanks in advance!
