How do you change LIGHT BULBS that are up in 10 to 12 feet ceilings
We have light bulbs that need replacing and don't have a 12ft ladder. If I did have a 12ft ladder my wife probably would not let me on it.
Is there a service for that ? Also is there a service to help move large items purchased at Estate sales ( I don't own a minivan or pickup thanks |

Buy one of those expandable poles with the suction cup on the end, you can get them on Amazon.

You could use home adviser or Thumbtack to find a handyman type with a ladder to change your bulb or get one of those bulb changing sticks on amazon. Also you can use those websites to find movers.

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. |

There are extension poles for that - Lowes
Lowes and Home Depot sell extension poles that go quite high. They come with a variety of attachments that go on the end to "grip" different kinds of light bulbs. I used this kind of device on high ceiling for both flood lights and "normal" bulbs. Ceiling was at least 14 feet high. This way you make a one time purchase and can get the job done.

My gawd! How did everyone make it to retire to the villages without being able to figure out how to change a light bulb in the 21st century. That is beyond comprehension. . .

3 guys and a really tall ladder. 1 guy grabs the bulb, and the other 2 guys spin the ladder. SORRY...couldn't help myself.
