Christmas Lights
Why, Why, why!! especially on the outside of your home! I was fixing our roof (we had about 25 missing shingles) and then started work puttiing up some cool Christmas lights. Kristy bought red and green icicle lights and I was pretty excited to get them up. It was getting pretty late when I finally got around to putting them up (since I tried doing this on Thanksgiving day!). It started to rain and I was determined to get them done. Now these lights can either blink or be solid. I thought the blinking effect was cool and finally got all the strands to blinks pretty much at the same rate (about 3 blinks per second). I dismounted the roof to adore my hard work and immediately felt sick! This pulsing motion had more of an effect than simple holiday cheer! I had found the ultimate tool to deal with annoying neighbours! I made up some excuse that it would cause the kids to have fits and quickly turned them on to solid! Phew! sickness gone!
But now – I still have a problem. I had linked about 6 strands together and blown a fuse! Nice one Ian – now I’ve got to remount the roof and search for a tiny blown fuse! I’m going to attempt that on Saturday during the day so (hopefully) I can spot the culprit! Wish me luck!
