The Chandelier Goes Up! And Up!

After!
(I love this picture, it looks so abstract and artsy!)

Well, what would you do after you had scaffolding picked up? Have a hydraulic lift delivered and unceremoniously plopped in the foyer, of course! The box on the right was where poor Chandy stayed for months on end--used as a resting place for tools, blue prints, snacks. She wanted to be set free!

First things first. First let's call our handyman and have him look at the small wooden threshold that was in the peak of the ceiling to see if there just might be an electrical connection up there.

Fingers crossed,
Eyes closed tightly,
Wishing,

Thank you so much, you are doing a fine job! What's up there, anyway?
We asked an electrician to do this job for us--but he quoted us a very high estimate--methinks he didn't want to have this responsibility. (Or maybe he was afraid of heights!)

Yea! There is electricity up there!
Wires exposed, patch job commencing...
Handyman comes down to get
Chandy

That is my helpful husband. He was glad he didn't have to go up in the lift!

Great job, boys!

They've made it all the way to putting the glass shades on the light bulbs--almost there! Our handyman is still on the lift, my man is on the balcony. Where was I? Being helpful taking pictures, of course!

Done--
Now that wasn't so hard, was it?
Phew!
Actually, it was a lot of work!

Shine, Chandy, shine!
