Christmas Lights

[David]

Anyone in the Denton area hang Christmas lights that isn't a rip off? So far pricing around the neighborhood hasn't been less than $800 highest $1300.

I'm in Prosper. I'll see if our guy goes that way. I'm guessing you don't already have the lights???

[BMCSean]

My guy is $175 if you have your own lights or $1.50/ft if they supply the lights.

I'll do it for a case of beer.

If you have a ladder and lights that work, I'll come help you put them up. If it's a two story or a really steep roof I reserve the right to just drive on by and not stop.

Who pays to have Christmas lights hung? Lazy bastards.

800 to 1300? Holy shit. What a waste of money.

People with more money than time, just like those with a lawn service.

I've not yet paid to have the lights hung, but I definitely get why. The tree is ceremonial, the lights are just a PITA.

I dont have a ladder tall enough to get to my second story roof. I had a guy come out and make a solid single strand of lights a few years back, cost including the lights was $400 for install and come back to take down. He moved to the coast, so I havent put them up since.

I pay $60 a month for a lawn service. I cant figure out how to make it cost effective to have to dick with buying and upkeeping a mower, weedeater and edger for that.

Used to, this year I just bought some of those star shower things and put green and red bulbs in our landscaping flood lights. Fuck it. My son thinks it looks cool and gets more excited about the tree anyway.

This. between 6:30 am basketball practice for my 8th grader, work, 5:30pm lacrosse practice for the 3rd grader followed by 8:30pm velocity camp for the 8th grader, my days are shot to hell in a hurry.

$60/MONTH? damn. does that include months when the grass is growing like crazy and they have to cut every other week?

They have most of the houses on our street now, they are usually around 3 days of the week. They are only required to do ours every other week, but we tip them and they have cut it a third time if it needed it several times. They are cheap on doing extra stuff, too. We have two beds on either side of the pool, and one that wraps around the front. They will weed all three for $40.

They are cheap, but they have destroyed three gates now. Not sure what they have against gates, but they do a number on them.
