When do you start decorating ?

Those "black light" or ultraviolet florescent tubes are hard to find, but I think Wal-Mart may have some if I'm not mistaken.

You can buy several sizes of fluorescent black-lights at any home improvement store year-round.
They're used for different kinds of building applications like locating imperfections in ceramic products etc, and can be had for relatively little money.

I prefer the 15" all-in-one unit like this one http://www.lightbulbdepot.com/product.a ... rod=01328A

I got it at Orchard Supply (California version of Home Depot) for under $25.00

Well right now All of the fall decor is out, the little pumpkins outside hanging on front porch, also inside in the living room, Fall napkins, two plastic jack o lanterns are sitting on either side of the fireplace, The fall wreath is also hanging above the fireplace. I have a pumpkin spice candle out and a flame less candle with a led light with Halloween decor on it. And a big plastic pumpkin out mostly 95% Fall and 5% Halloween out right now. I have went on a splurge this year and bought a lot of stuff for Halloween but I'm shopping around for best price. Thinking about putting stuff up on the last day of September still. But things and ideas are coming to mind I already laid out and drawn floor and decor plans for most of the house!!!!

I don't need an entire fixture. All I need are a couple of black light tubes to put in my existig living room fixture, and maybe a couple of screw-ins to put in the two lamps.

Speaking of that, I got all but 2 of my Halloween decorations up as of last night. I just have to hand one string of lights across my fire place, and suspend one battery operated bat from my ceiling and the job is finished except for the real pumpkins that I plan to start carving on the 1st. I'm working late tonight, but tomorrow night, I will finish the job. Then I am going to light a fire in my fire place. light up all the decorations, and watch a horror movie.

[Pumpkin_Man]

That's great. I usualy don't decorate that early. Besides, 3 weeks ago, I was in the hospital with I.Vs in both my hands.

yea i understand
when i say 3 weeks ago, that means just the inside for right then but working on finishing the builds on my out door decor and getting the rest pulled out and organized
i started on the outside this past week end

[Pumpkin_Man]

The only thing I do on the outside is a jack o'lantern and a scare crow with a jack o'lantern for a head seated on my motorcycle. Sort of a variation on the "Healess Horseman" theme.
