Damn YOUS Christmas Lights

My dad and I spend time testing each strand of icicle lights for outside our house. They work fine. We put them up on our house yesterday (in Chicago area so it was damn cold out) Surprise surprise only about half of them light up when we plug it in.

I know how Clark Griswold feels now. 🙁
 
Marty, are you saying some entire strings don't light up? Did you check the fuses? I speak from experience. 🙂

I've rarely seen the fuses in a strand go bad. I think it's just that the quality of light strands are going down the crapper. I've had strands that worked fine and they go out when I put them on the tree. I start pulling bulbs out one by one and putting them back in and then voila, the thing starts working.

Some entire strings dont light up, on some only half of the lights light up and on others they work perfectly. All of them worked fine on their own.
 
What you must do is , flip out, Start kicking you lawn decorations, Fvck up the reindeer and slay and boot santa into the bush. You then have to grab a plug in each hand and in slow mo over your hed connect them causing sparks to fly out and the whole house will light up

:laugh:

lol if only that worked... 😀
 
Santa might by-pass your house with only half the lights on, so you better sit on the roof with a shotgun on the 24th and make sure he gets his ass down your chimney. Might also want a megaphone to tell to SWAT team to ah heck off.

The reason I asked is because this is my first year I able to decorate my own home and I had no experience with those damn icicle lights until now. I discovered you can only have so many strings connected together before they start blowing the fuses on subsequent strings. So, I have like six strings connected on one extension cord and the remaining two (one of which I had to replace the fuses on, hence the earlier question), on another extension cord.

After much frustration, everything is now working fine one freaking week from Christmas! LOL...at least a neighbor said they looked nice. 😉
