[Shop-talk] How to change a light bulb

[Peter Murray]

Rent a cherry picker, evaluate the fixture, and switch it over to LED. Of
course, as the others have suggested, do the lights need to be this high?

I can't believe that multiple folks on this list have suggested hiring this
out! Watch out - Mark B might give you the boot!

Maybe you can hire a chimney company to clean your chimney, and while
they're there, you can have them look at your fixtures...

-Peter (who also hires out for lots of stuff)
