So one item I failed to account for in the design was how am I going to install a fan or light in the family room which has a 20 foot high ceiling! The problem became apparent to me after we got things framed when I gazed up from the first floor. Oh crap I thought. Not wanting to spend several hundred dollars on a ladder I would probably use once I starting dreaming up several ideas. The one thing I kept coming back to though was IF one of my contraptions didn't work that 20 feet is a long way to fall. So the solution????
Buy a big ass ladder. It didn't look that big when I ordered it on Amazon.com. When delivered it almost didn't fit in our garage. It's the biggest thing I've ever seen. I can BARELY pick it up and move it by myself. I needed help in standing it up....but it works great. I felt very stable and safe at that altitude installing the fans this weekend. Also finished grouting the ceramic floors.

ReplyDeleteBetter to spend the money on a "big ass ladder", than a "broken neck".
Nice job on the tile ... :-)
