Jeanine believes we need to replace our foyer chandelier, or at the very least, paint it in preparation for the sale of our house. I have long put off this project because the ceiling is close to eighteen feet high where the fixture is hung. With my portion of the kitchen make-over all but done, I turned my attention to the construction of a platform from which I can work on the chandelier. The 16″x22″ platform is supported by an extension ladder on one side and indirectly by the floor of the balcony stairway of the second floor on the other. I am confident the platform would support double my weight, but I am not looking forward to standing on such a small surface while wrangling the bulky chandelier.
