Ok, i need to change out a chandelier in a 2 story foyer. I have a 20
foot and a 32 foot extension ladder, but the foyer is too wide to reach
the middle where the fixture is attached to the ceiling with the ladders
leaning on the side walls.
Any ideas on how to safely reach the middle of the foyer to change out
the fixture?
Thanks in advance. jim

You may be able to stretch a plank between the two ladders, but if it's to
dangerous, rental stores have 16 foot A frame ladders, or scaffold

The usual procedure for a chandelier of this height is to install it so
that it can be lowered to a height where bulbs/candles can be changed.
Yes, the procedure is the same as when candles were the chandeliers main
illumination source.

If you only need to change the chandelier and not the chain above it, an
extra tall step ladder will do. However if you need to get to the top, you
really should get scaffolding.

Scaffolding. For something bulky like a chandelier big enough to not
look out of place in a two story space, scaffolding is really the only
safe way to go.
