Mark;

If those windows over the garage are double hung, and if the top sash can be pulled down, you can pull down the sash, get some of those 3M Command hooks and, from inside the house, place one on the outside of the window, hang the wreath on the hook, then raise the window. I’m sure Mrs. B will be so ecstatic that she will allow you to spend all of the time till Christmas playing with your trains... and if you buy that, I have this beautiful bridge in my hometown of Brooklyn for sale

Paul, In my effort to commiserate with Mike, I have lead us off topic.  Yes, they are double hung, and yes we did try Command hooks from the inside.  Since they are double double hung windows, we wanted one wreath in the center, meaning the the Command hook has to be on the aluminum frame between the windows.  The wind pulled them down.  Attaching a Command hook on each window to hold the sides works well from the ladder outside, but it is too hard raising both windows without knocking the wreath off and onto the driveway for another bent wreath.  Those Command hooks hung from the outside lasted 3 or 4 years, but finally fell off this past summer.  Kim's idea, and she was happy with me hanging one from the light over the brick pillar between the two garage doors.  IT balances the one hanging under the living room window so you can see the tree inside.  That's all I needed to hear.    How many times have you sold that bridge you mention.
