Time to put up the Christmas lights - with a difference.

Fred27

I've not been as active as I'd have liked on E14 over the last year or so. That's something I hope to change. I've mainly been busy with a new job (with lots to learn), but also the change from Jive to Verint at the same time didn't help. Nothing felt quite in the same place.

Anyway, I feel it's time for something Christmassy. Something silly. Something fun. Something likely to fail, but that doesn't really matter.

I'm really not a fan of putting up Christmas light. We tens to hang then along the roofline of our house. It looks good, but it's high. I always end up standing at the very top of a long ladder, often with the top rung about knee height and my hand against the wall. It feels dangerous. Frankly, it is dangerous. Each year I swear I'm not doing it again. Time to get smart about it.

  • I finally managed to get the lights up without the drone. I leaned out of the bedroom window with the string taped to the end of a very long drain rod, and hooked it over that way. I did the same at the other end of the house too. This is the final result.

    To add injury to insult, when sending the drone up to take that photo I managed to catch my finger in the prop and have 3 nasty slices out of my fingertip!

    Sometimes the low-tech ways work best huh?

    Looks good lit up though.

    How long before soffits, fascias, bargeboards and window frames come with LED lighting fitted as standard I wonder.

    Does the drone manual advise on keeping fingers away from moving parts? Head bandage
