chandelier above staircase
Anyone know how I can possibly hang my new chandelier over a staircase (high ceiling)?.....I really would like to do it myself and save the money on an electrician.....

Re: chandelier above staircase
Are you replacing an existing light fixture, or is this a new feature? If it's a replacement, is the old light a similarly sized chandelier? You need to make sure that the chandelier is properly supported.
I have one of those articulated ladders that can bend in different configurations to work on stairs, but even mine can't reach high enough to mount a chandelier. The safest way is to get a bigger articulated ladder, or a ladder with an extension on the bottom designed for stairs.

I am replacing a similar light fixture. I thought about those ladder made specifically for stairs but they are expensive for something I only plan on using once and for a few minutes....
I wonder if Home Depot rents those types of ladders....hmmmmm

I have a long dust brush for that.

Unless you get LED bulbs, you'll have to change those once in a while, too.....
