Strictly hypothetical here but let’s say you had an obnoxious Auburn fan neighbor and you wanted to remind him of the iron bowl score for an extra week or two. Do you know of any efficient way to make lights into numbers on the actual shingles of the roof and hold it in place?

And before you ask, yes I’m aware of this being extremely tacky but would get some neighborhood laughs as well.

Does he have a bermuda grass lawn or is it a cool season grass?

Make sure the lights are the right length that you need (double back on them if they’re too long. Use short extension cords to have the empty spaces between the numbers. Get the shingle clips to slide and hold everything in place. You’ll spend some money and time, but if you’re petty enough to consider doing it, it’ll probably be worth it.


I’d personally recommend white lights with red bulb outlines, for Christmas/Santa.

You just need a little rye grass seed and you can spell it right out for him.

Does he have any oaks in his yard?

I care far too much about my own lawn to have this become an actual turf war.

The real Anthony Grant would jump at the opportunity for a defensive slugfest.

Those roof/gutter clips are hard to find right now. I just ordered some from Amazon, they won’t come in until Saturday.
