As the title says. Pretty straightforward. Looking at installing lights this year, unsure of when to start advertising for it. Thanks! ---

That’s a branch of pressure washing? Interesting. ---

You should probably start soon. They already have Christmas stuff in stores. ---

Quite a few guys do it in the winter if they live in a climate where they have to shut down. The first year Squids did it he said he made a heck of a lot more than washing. He was even talking about buying a boom truck for it. I don’t know if I’d ever want to mess with it. I hate putting up our own lights. I can’t imagine doing it for anyone else except for maybe my mom. If I had a boom truck I might consider it. We have a mowing company around here that does it in the off season. They’re a huge mowing outfit though. They have locations all over so it’s just not small area thing. That goes for mowing and lights. ---

Didn’t know people would fork out a tonne of money for few months of novelty. Quite labour intensive I would imagine. ---

The guy to ask is @squidskc. He has a few good threads here about Xmas lights [Christmas Light Installation - Supplies, Trailer, and How To Install Gilbert Plugs](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/t/christmas-light-installation-supplies-trailer-and-how-to-install-gilbert-plugs/16539) > [@Christmas Light Installation - Lessons Learned](https://pressurewashingresource.com/community/t/christmas-light-installation-lessons-learned/16324): > > I said I’d never attempt Christmas lights and this year I gave it a shot. I’m glad I did because 2 weeks of short days and 1 week in January to take them all down will put another $4800 cushion after expenses in my account before being off for 3-4 months and it was kinda fun. You wanna see a bunch of eyes light up and big smiles, install Christmas lights. Only one house left and here’s what I’ve learned: It’s not as time consuming as I imagined, but it is tedious.
