Subject: Christmas Decorations by Decolight Installation Specialists
Date: Mon, 15 Oct 2001
For the past 10 years I've been going thru the same scenario which typically
begins the first weekend in December:
- Envision an attractive, well-thought out, balanced lighting display
- Totally underestimate the time it will take to install all the stuff.
- Go to the store full of pep and motivation.
- Go crazy buying on impulse, convinced I'll somehow find the time to install
all the stuff I'm buying (as well as all the stuff from previous years'
buying sprees).
- Spend the next three weekends putting lights and decorations up - and
still only using about one third of what I have.
- Come to the realization that this is all I'm going to be able to install
this year and throw the remaining two-thirds of my decorations in a pile
in the garage.
- Receive lukewarm comments from family and others on the decorations I
did get up - and rightfully so for a spotty, unbalanced, Hodge-podge display.
- Tell myself that next year will be different, better, etc…
- 11 months later start the exact same process all over again.
I've got a feeling that you might be able to help me from repeating that
cycle this year. The house is fairly large and the grounds around it even
larger. I'd prefer to have a service that provides the materials, puts up
a grand display, then returns after the holidays to take down and remove
all the decorations, so I don't have to be concerned about where to store
it all for the next year.
As far as determining how much to spend the easiest thing would be to look
at pictures of things you've done and for you to say "Something similar
to this would cost $__________, something more elaborate like this would
cost $__________, and something really grand like this would run $__________."
That would give me three or so choices to choose from depending on how extensive
I want to go this year.
Thanks,
