Lighting Made Easy (NAPSA)You don’t need a special gift to light up your home for the holidays, just a plan. That’s the advice of Brad Finkle, author of “Holiday Hero: A Man’s Manual for Holiday Lighting.” He gives these suggestions for making your house look spectacular: Make a Plan: Roughly sketch out your home and its surroundings. Indicate your lights, wreaths, garlands or lawn ornaments. i \ Bright IdeaA new book helps guide you through lighting. e Measure and Makea List: Measure your roofline, windows, doorways and driveways. Then determine the exact length of extension cords and how many decoration sets you will need. A good rule of thumbfor trees is one 100-bulb set of minilights for every 15 squarefeet. Install: Start with your extension cords and work backwards to ensure you don’t shortchange yourself. Use the shortest cord to do the job.
