Obviously, changing light bulbs in the PH is no easy task when the light fixture is approx. 12-15 feet off the ground. Not to mention this particular fixture is over the landing of a staircase- not the safest place to be experimenting with gravity-defying methods of light maintenance. Nonetheless, I think we found the most effective way to fix our problem.
Step One: One person pushes their back up against one wall and their feet against the opposing wall. Person shimmies their way up the wall as high as they can go.
Step Two: Second person steps underneath the first person, providing support (more moral than physical) in case Person 1 begins to wobble. We realize this is somewhat ineffective seeing as if either person fell there would be no saving us.
Step Three: Change the bulb as quickly as possible and hope you don't get electrocuted in the process (wiring is faulty around these parts).
Step Four: Shimmy back down and breathe a sigh of relief. Then clean the walls because they have dirty footprints all over them.
glad you survived this endeavor! Looked challenging.
