How do I install and remove x-mas lights as a business? I heard some companies charge $1 /per ft., is that ordinary, and how much will that price range a house? Also what are some install tecniques?

I plan on doign this next year for the first time and my plan is as follows at this point: Charge a 15% fee on the price of the decorations plus $35 an hour for installation and removal. My plan may change based on what I hear others on here say that have done it before.

Thanks , that sound like a sure fire way to get payed right. I wonder too, how much other people charge? I don't know any companies that do x-mas lights, or where they would advertise?
