facia friction surfaces 22 engage the facia 90 and resist the tendency of the clip to move once in place thus securing the light string in the desired position fig5 provides a view of a user employing an embodiment of the clip and tool combination in the present method to sequentially install a light string held in place on a building facia by clips finally fig6 depicts an embodiment of a clip of the present invention as it might appear once installed with a light string held in position the handle can be selected to extend the reach of the user so that when installing a light string the user can avoid having to climb up and down ladders the present invention also provides the advantage that the clip and light string placed into the clip can be installed remotely by simply reversing the steps used to install the clip in the first instance the clip provides a further advantage in that it can be reversibly mounted on the building feature so that when desired the light string can be taken down the clips removed and the building restored to its original undecorated state the present invention provides a further improvement over prior art devices as the clip does not penetrate the building structure as would a screw or other fastener and thus no damage is caused by its use the installation tool 40 can be further configured to be flexible such that once the clip 10 and light string 80 are in place the clip can be released by simply twisting the handle 82 in one embodiment twisting the handle will impart a rotational force on the installation tool as the clip is secured to the facia as shown in the depicted embodiments the.
