View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: https://www.levitt-safety.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/17.jpg Take note of the proper tie down procedure. That’s a terrible idea. You locked it in and the center of gravity is going to make top heavy as fuck. That will easily flip over. We've, by that I mean someone I worked with I aint getting up on that, done that with 2 sections and a 6' ladder. |

A really good psychiatrist, the fan will have to want to change though.
Could take a lot of therapy. |

Might as well do the lights and the smoke detector while your at it.

I have a similar issue. Ugly old ceiling fan about 18 feet up. We want to replace it with something more modern or with a chandelier-ish light.
I could get a ladder, but it would be safer to just set up some scaffolding. A ladder is fine for changing bulbs, but not wrangling a big, heavy fixture... |

My last house had the exact same situation in the master. There was a smoke detector up there too and that bitch would of course only die at 2am. 28ft extension ladder, had to bring it in through a window and pucker up. No vaulted ceilings in the new place!

Probably 14’ to the fan itself, it looks like? If it’s a bad bearing, you don’t have to change all of it out. I’d unwire and take the old one down, then use the same box and extension to attach the new fan to. I’ve got a twelve foot step ladder, though. A ten foot would make it a pretty easy job.

Pull the switch out of the wall and unwire it, and then screw the switch back in, because a fan that that small that high up ain't doing anything but eating electricity anyway.

Simply Zip Tie an extension ladder to an "A" frame ladder and viola!
trick is "not to die" (dont do this) |

I don't ever want cathedral ceilings again.
That's where all the heat winds up in winter, while the furnace runs non stop trying to keep up. |
|
I had to rent a ten-foot step ladder to put mine in, that was 19 years ago, don't get a cheap fan, get the best you can find.
