In this post I will describe the device I use to hang lights on the trees in the year.  I don’t have a lift to get up in the high branches of our trees so I use the Stick-O-Matic.  It is made from a 10′ schedule 40 rigid pipe and a pencil that is taped on the end to form a V.

Using the V to hook the wire, I can easily raise and place the wire where I want it.
