NavyGator's Icicle Light's

[NavyGator]

Hi Guys,

I wanted to share my method of mounting my icicle lights. I used 1/2in PVC with eye bolts/hooks and zip tied my icicles to them. The power cords are bundled together and hang behind the PVC. I took 1 1/2in PVC and made the Express stands.

Great job. I like the way you hid the cords.

I try my best to hide the cords as much as I can for two reasons

1) It looks a lot neater, instead of being a bit of an eyesore during the day for my neighbors.
and
2) it kind of keeps the public guessing as to how it is done.

I like that!!!

How did tear down go, and how are you storing them?

[NavyGator]

I am still taking them down but I have not got my storage idea finalized yet. I am thinking that it is going to end up being brackets used to hang a ladder from the wall. I hope to have it figured out tomorrow or over the next couple of days.

I will take a picture of that once I get it finished also.

Looks like you have some holes in the wood, maybe from last year??

It would be a good idea to seal those with something. Over time, if water gets in there, the wood will start to rot.

That was actually from the first idea this year that I did not like. I used some clear caulk I already had so that is why the holes are still visible. I think I am going to paint the house when I get back this year.

I saw a guy on the crazy Christmas lights show this year that had icicles lights like that, along with 200k lights.
