I just finished mine up today. Mine is much simplier and not as flashy.

Put a line of the blue lights along the peak and sides of your roof and that would look awesome. Give it a 3D effect

The pitch on my roof make it near to impossible to do that. I have gotten up there once and i had to sit on my butt and slide backwards to move and it still slide downwards. It was rather scary to say the least. That big peak in the picture took a 28 foot ladder almost all the way extended to reach. The top peak of the roof is about 10-15 feet above that.

Looks nice. I don't have a problem with simple at all. I just miss when almost every house had atleast a few lights up.

Some good looking houses here. I stole my works man-lift the one year I put them up on my parents house. I did enough climbing up on roofs in my construction days to know I don't need to be hanging from the rafters anymore LOL

I hear ya. I used to paint houses so I have all the equipment to deal with roofs... i guess I take for granted all the time I spent on ladders and roofs. haha

It looks great though. Real clean!

I hate decorating for holidays, the only lights on my house are the ones my wife put up. I've got much more worthwhile **** to do than waste my time screwing with colored lights. I've got about the same view as zeake on this I guess. I pike my personal space, I wish everyone would stay the hell away. I'm not very good at acting like I give a **** about people I see once a year simply because someone in my family had sex with them at some point in time.
