Just a simple fyi- When we lit up our backyard, my husband made sure to wrap all of the extension cord "joins" with black electrical tape, just to be safe against the elements. It hadn't occurred to me, and I was really appreciative of his insight.alexishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07590148852118569844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-63141766069226795122012-09-06T12:04:13.126-04:002012-09-06T12:04:13.126-04:00Hey Jenny,

My husband ...Love the solution you came up with! <br /><br />My husband and I are in the same situation- we live in a suburb of DC and are renting. We aren't putting as much into the property as you are, but we are fixing up the backyard (it had not maintenance in years- full of crickets) as well as replacing the screens in the house. My husband and I also do most of the routine maintenance as well. Our last landlord's maintenance team put a ladder through the side of my great grandfather's kidney desk, and having that repaired will cost a whole lot more than us doing this stuff. And it's done to our liking much faster than it would have been otherwise. It's just a choice you have to make personally.Elizabethnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009168790894665633.post-25801339642286698352012-08-31T23:52:09.085-04:002012-08-31T23:52:09.085-04:00Great idea on the lights.
