The Accent is fine Chad, Every year my wife gets me to put a snowman on the roof of our garage and I haven't got round to it yet but my ears now are getting sore listening to her and others wondering when it is getting put up. It is in about 20/30 bits and you have to build it up on top of the roof as you can't lift it up after its built, she doesn't realise how cold it is up there and trying to cable tie the hat to the head then the head to the middle part then the middle to the base, by the time you are finished you are frozen and you can't feel your fingers, What you do just to keep women happy. :D I'm up there freezing my bobbles off and she is watching from the kitchen window - who's the mug??? Do you leave the lights up all year round or take them down in January??

I'll be taking them down again in January (if I remember).
For me it was a case of getting sun burn on my back and burned knees from the red hot tin roof as I strung up the lights. Funny this game of oposites! :D

Simple Dave, you have her help you on the roof.
Chad, is the roof still unpainted - that's a killer for getting burned.
