caption: Bruce Tamblin stands at the top of his crane at a construction site in Kirkland. He has been putting holiday lights on his crane for over a decade.

Listener Chelsea Nesvig lives on Capitol Hill and has a great view of the construction cranes downtown.

She asked us: How do those holiday lights get put up on the construction cranes?
