Abstract: A light string holder has a central hand grip with upright members spaced from the hand grip to partially define storage areas for light string segments. Lateral extensions on the hand grip have horizontal edges for supporting spaced apart loops of a light string. Removal of the light string loops is upwardly to permit segments of the light string to disentangle from one another. Slots in the holder receive ends of the light string.

Abstract: A connector for attaching fence rails to posts including a clamp for placement about a post with each clamp serving to support a pair of rail ends. Each of the rail ends is fitted with a bracket having an upright flange for clamped engagement to a post surface. A modified bracket includes upper and lower flanges between which a rail end is received. The brackets may be of malleable construction to permit support of a fence rail in other than perpendicular relationship to an adjacent post. Each clamp includes a fastener assembly positionable opposite a rail end for partial concealment of the fastener assembly and clamp edges.
