Houses this time of year are a spectacle of lights and decoration.
Mine isn't. It was but then the rope-light I'd carefully installed last year has started blowing fuses, so I suspect it's past it's best.
It's hung from the soffit of my front facing gable wall on hooks. It's quite high 7m ish. I put the hooks in last year when I painted the gable end, via a scaffold tower which I no longer have.
My wife has told me in no uncertain terms I'm not to be "****ing around up a ladder again" - and I kinda agree, 7m up a ladder is not my idea of fun.
I'm after suggestions for some form of hook-on-a-stick type solution - or another idea - to allow me to remove and re-instate these (or replacement) lights which doesn't involve me having to climb up anything.
access from below is largely unobstructed, ground cover is gravel.
Any thoughts anyone?
