Some of the casings around the lights just shattered while I was in stringing them… by the time I threw the 5th strand in the garbage bag, it was almost comical.

        Here is our house with the Tru-Tone c7 bulbs around the gutters.

        For comparison, this picture without snow was taken last year with traditional incandescent C9s.

      I got some really neat LED ones that are solar powered. Think they were $15 for 184ft. They work great if there’s enough sun. I’ve been stuck in a fog bank for a week or more that’s expected to stay for a couple more weeks so they’re not kicking full gear but still doing good.
