re: Changing bulbs in a vertical-pointing chandelier?

Had a similar problem with similar chandelier.

Initial solution was to befriend someone with tall ladder and have them bring it over to change bulbs.

That was costing me too much beer, so I bit the bullet and bought the big-arse ladder. Fortunately, I have found enough other uses for the big-arse ladder.

PS It is still a PIA to drag out the ladder to change bulbs, so I usually wait until half the bulbs are burned out before replacing them.
