Christmas Lights And Decorations
 
speaking of your christmas lights,,,,, how long does it take you to take down your lights and decorations, and, more importantly, how do you store all that stuff?
 
 
-Taking down is quicker. It takes about a day to get them all down and about a day to get them all boxed up. I label them all so that the next year I can keep the things I liked the same. I also write myself notes for ideas I had/saw this year. Next year when I open the boxes I remember my ideas. Storage is a real problem. They usually take up all of my garage cabinets since I don't have a shed. This year we just put some plywood up in the attic so I can store things up there. It is not the best attic to navigate but I wont need them for 10 months so this will be very cool. -I keep thinking about that. I have over 100 light strands in boxes though so I would probably need to buy some each year to eventually have enough. I am pretty anal about coiling them up, wire tying, and labeling them so I don't have many tangle problems. Still, those little reels are cool.
