Decorating for Christmas
My downstairs neighbor and I almost simultaneously put up our outdoor lights.  She uses transparent C7 lights and I use ceramic color C9s. I was looking for clips to use on the overhang and also found pink and purple lamps to add to the color scheme.

nice! Are your lights in the basement here? I guess your landlord lets you use that space?
NiMo   [Dec 09, 2013 at 12:13 AM]
Yep. I have the whole front end of the basement.

Is your half partitioned from the rest or is the basement itself locked? My grandparents own and apartment and rent it out. the basement is all their stuff but there's no door to it. I'm eventually going to be helping them rewire the basement for fluorescent fixtures in place of the pull chain fixtures that don't light the basement well enough. The basement is two rooms, one was once semi-finished and the other wasn't. Oddly enough half of the unfinished portion isn't lit at all. There are two pullchains where the boiler and furnace are and that's it for that half of the basement.

It's a shared basement, but the front portion has always been a workshop. When my family and I move, I'll be leaving behind the upgraded lighting and outlets.

ahh so you had just upgraded an existing workshop area in the basement? was the old lighting pull-chains or was it old fluorescents or incandescents on a switch?

It was two fluorescent shoplights, one over the workbench and the other in the area behind it. I wired a switch from the nearby outlet to a J-box, then branched three outlets from that and added a couple of fixtures. Here's how I attached the lights. Under the eaves and along the vertical sides of the windows/door, I used universal clips that I bought from Dave's Christmas Store in Cheektowaga, along with 80 each pink and purple C9 ceramic finish bulbs (cleaned him out of the purple Shocked Laughing ), and I used 14" zip ties along the railing, one on either side of the socket to keep it upright.
