Just a quick tip/reminder for everyone: If you are dealing with a metal roof, awning, (firetruck!), or any metal surface in your Midlothian or Prosper home, we highly recommend you look into magnetic clips.
This is by far the quickest, easiest way to put lights on a metal surface. Simply attach the clip to the light and drop them where you want them—that's it! They hold very well and will stay in place all season.
