Also is there a service to help move large items purchased at Estate sales ( I don't own a minivan or pickup

thanks
Trying to be polite. First of all with 10 foot ceilings you need an 8 foot ladder. You do not have the height to open a 12 foot ladder. A six foot ladder would be dangerous to use.
Far as those bulb changing things, they do not work if the bulbs are at an angle as in typical ceiling fan. For that matter some lights have a globe over the bulb that needs to be removed to change the bulb.
Wife? I do not do marriage counseling. Perhaps, offer to hold the ladder for her?

Stuff purchased at estate sales? There is no possible reply. If, you buy say a piano you do not want some person with a pick up truck to move it. You might have a hitch attached to your car so you can rent a trailer and SAFELY tow it as/if needed.
