>>> IF YOU’VE GOTTEN OUT OF YOUR
HOUSE, YOU MAY NOTICE CHRISTMAS
LIGHTS BURNING BRIGHT EARLIER
THIS YEAR THAN YEARS PAST.
>> IF YOU PLAN TO BREAK OUT
HOLIDAY DECOR TO KEEP YOUR
SPIRITS BRIGHT, WE HAVE SOME
HELP
OUR FRIEND, TODAY CONTRIBUTOR,
HOUSE OF HOUSE SMART LOU MAN FER
DEAN EE IS HOME IN CHICAGO.
>> YOU’RE CUTE AS A BUTTON WITH
YOUR HAT ON.
>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH
I WANT TO STAY WARM WHILE I AM
DECORATING AS WELL
YOU’RE RIGHT
THIS YEAR MORE THAN EVER IT IS
TIME TO GET HOLIDAY DECORATIONS
OUT AND PUT UP
BUT YOU WANT TO BE SURE YOU DO
IT SAFELY.
I HAVE A FEW PRO TIPS TO DO IT
RIGHT AND GET AMAZING RESULTS.
LET ME SHOW WHAT I MEAN.
THE TYPE OF HOLIDAY LIGHTS
YOU’RE GOING TO USE ON YOUR HOME
IS UP TO YOU, WHETHER YOU LIKE
COLORED LIGHTS, WHITE TWINKLE
LIGHTS
THE QUESTION IS WHETHER TO USE
LED OR CONVENTIONAL LIGHTING AND
WLA
WHAT THE DIFFERENCE IS
LED LIGHTS HAVE COLOR
TEMPERATURE, REALLY MIMIC THE
TRADITIONAL INCANDESCENT HOLIDAY
LIGHTS
FOR ME, THEY’RE MORE DURABLE,
USE A LOT LESS ENERGY, AND FROM
A STANDPOINT OF DECORATING, YOU
CAN PUT MORE OF THEM TOGETHER
AND NOT RUN RISK OF BLOWING A
FUSE
WHILE THEY MAY COST A LITTLE
MORE, THE PRICE HAS COME WAY
DOWN
I WOULD RECOMMEND YOU USE LED
LIGHTS IN THE COLOR OF YOUR
CHOICE
AS TO HOW MANY YOU NEED, YOU
ALWAYS NEED MORE
IF YOU LIKE DECORATING OUTSIDE,
PICTURE FRAMING ALONG THE
GUTTERS, I HAVE A SOLUTION
THE NO LADDER PRO.
THIS POLL EXTENDS TO 11 FEET
THEY HAVE CLIPS THAT GO ON THE
END.
THIS IS A TWO PERSON JOB
YOU STRING THE LIGHTS THROUGH
CLIPS.
YOU WANT PLUG INSIDE CLOSEST TO
THE RECEPTACLE YOU USE
WITH THE HELPOF DECORATING ELF
EXTEND THE POLE, CLIP THEM ALONG
THE LINE OF THE GUTTER
25 CLIPS GOES 50 FEET.
PAY ATTENTION TO HOW MUCH YOU
NEED TO COVER.
YOU MAY NEED TO BUY AN EXTRA BOX
OF CLIPS
LOOK AT THE FINISHED PRODUCT
OUTDOOR TREES, ONE OF MY
FAVORITE THINGS TO DECORATE.
REMEMBER, IT IS HOW IT LOOKS AT
NIGHT THAT MATTERS, NOT HOW IT
LOOKS DURING THE DAY
I HAVE A PRO TIP HOW TO
DECORATE
CHOOSE SEVERAL BRANCHES THAT
YOU’RE GOING TO WRAP
CIRCLE THEM UP
YOU DON’T HAVE TO GO TO THE TOP,
BUT DO SEVERAL OF THOSE.
THEN AT NIGHT, IT WILL LOOK
AMAZING.
ONCE ALL OF THE DECORATING IS
DONE, TIME TO PLUG THINGS IN
THIS IS IMPORTANT.
DON’T USE HOUSEHOLD CORDS ON THE
OUTSIDE, THEY’RE NOT DESIGNED
FOR COLDER WHETHER, CAN LEAD TO
SHORTS, CAN LEAD TO
ELECTROCUTION.
PLEASE STICK WITH CORDS THAT SAY
OUTDOOR USE.
FOR TIMERS, THERE’S A BUNCH OF
THEM, DIGITAL TIMERS, TIMERS
WITH DIALS, WI-FI ENABLES ONES
WHICH ARE PRETTY COOL.
I LIKE COUNTDOWN TIMERS THAT
HAVE A SETTING, YOU CAN DO TWO
HOURS, FOUR HOURS, 12 HOURS,
DUSK TO DAWN
EVEN TWO SPOTS ON THE BOTTOM TO
PLUG THINGS IN
IF YOU USE LED LIGHTS WHICH ARE
MY FAVORITE, YOU CAN PUT
MULTIPLE LIGHTS ON THIS TIMER.
>> THAT WAS AWESOME.
>> LOU
>> WE LEARNED SO MANY THINGS
ARE YOU KEEPING A COUPLE MORE
TIPS FOR US?
>> I AM.
SO THE THING I MENTIONED ABOUT
THE FACT THAT HOLIDAY LIGHTS,
YOU ALWAYS NEED MORE I CAN LIKE
WHEN YOU HAVE A BABY IN DIAPERS.
IF YOU GO TO THE STORE, YOU
ALWAYS NEED DIAPERS.
YOU DON’T EVEN ASK
YOU BUY THEM
FINALLY WHEN YOU PLUG IN CORDS,
THIS IS A PRO TIP.
YOU NEED ELECTRICAL TAPE, DUCT
TAPE
THIS IS CALLED TWIST AND SEAL.
WHEN YOU PLUG STUFF IN, TAPE THE
END WHERE YOU ARE NOT PLUGGING,
BECAUSE IF WATER GETS IN THERE,
IT CAN SHORT IT OUT.
A LITTLE PIECE OF TAPE
THIS TWIST AND SEAL FOR LARGER
CORDS, GO INTO THE CORD ON THE
OTHER END, CLAMP THIS, IT IS
WATER TIGHT.
TO ENSURE THAT ALL THE WORK YOU
DO YOU CAN ENJOY ALL SEASON
LONG
LOOK, WE NEED A LOT OF LIGHTS IN
OUR WORLD TO MAKE US HAPPY
GO OUT THERE, HAVE SOME FUN.
