Ceiling Fan Install Question

Sorry, couldn't get a picture of the guy standing on that one. When he saw me coming his way with a camera, he got off of it.

I don't get it..... I can't see anything wrong. Can you point it out?

Tsk, tsk.

Everybody knows that whitehats don't actually do any work.

Other than that, I'm with you.

I just screw everyone equally.

I have only met 2 rich people in my entire life that were wreckless with money. If anyone ever acted as though money was not an issue they were being a poser and never bought.

Honestly some of the richest people in my city that I have dealt with were very strict with their money and would not accept any old quote.

1200 sounds a touch steep, but when you consider what a pain in the arse it is to deal with a 16 foot ladder it really doesn't sound all that bad...add in the time messing about at the depot to rent it, paying another guy to help you out and taking on the risk.

If the owner thought it was too expensive he could have refused the quote.

what is the guy in the yellow hard hat ladder sitting on

I can tell you that for a new ceiling fan location, with a new 3-wire switch leg fished into an existing switch box, it will cost you $350 if you call me. Some will say that is too cheap, some will say that's too much, but if you want me to do it that's what I charge to do it.

Damn.... now you win

Presumably the ground, though that's out of frame. You can see the lower part of the ladder running off the bottom of the picture.

This sounds like it is in the Ball Park..... I will add that it also depends on one's Location such as yours- where it is a different ball game from where I am at............... Sometimes I don't bring this into perspective- but we must not be unreasonable whereever we are--------- Thanks !

ampman

I think you're seeing things. I see a yellow ladder pad with a shadow touching it.

You guys remeber the old 'A' frame ladders, heavy as hell. Worked well but that straight up climb at the top made the knees a bit weak...

It's the angle of the photo, you can't see it very well - that extension ladder is leaned at least 5 degrees off vertical.

When you decide to sell your house, will you just ask what you consider it's worth to be, or will you sell it for the most you can get?
