Hope you're a patient guy.

Interesting...I wonder if "you can hang the moosehead if I can hang this chandelier" discussion ever came into play.

That was quick.

That was quick.

I had good help. Biggest pain was unwrapping all the glass pieces.

So, was that hourly or piecework?

Woulda really sucked if you had to do it by yourself.

It was a bid job and included installing the lift.

The lift was the bigger pain. 2 days in a hot attic.

A little house we are building in Castell on the Colorado River. Building the big house in 2024, this is the guest house/River house

I told my super to roll felt or hay out around the house to protect masonry, he got in just before rain.

Pretty cool house for the budget, the framed in back doors are because of a supplier who went out of business, a lot of drama there I'll detail if I ver get over my uncontrolled rage 😆. I bought some cheap sliders to replace two 16' X 8' sliders. Will pay to remove drywall and siding outside when we replace

Not a fan of the cabinet finish. Exact match for cleints wishes

Well got it done. Close enough (I hope).

Very nice

It's a matte finish and it won't be fully there for at least a week, probably 2 by the time it's fully flattened out.

I've only installed 2 lifts, last one probably 20 years ago.

This was our first, and was an Aladdin unit. I was impressed overall with how it was engineered. 700 lb capacity for a roughly 400 lb fixture. We did have to tap the canopy base and one of the downrod supports to fit the lift base and do some machining to reinforce it. (...along with two trips to the store and an Amazon purchase for taps and bits I'll likely never use again).

(Oh and jack with the framing as, of course, the centerline of the room had a joist in the way.)

With a 20' ceiling it would have been a bear to install the light without the lift and a royal PITA to change bulbs. Luckily, the house has a crazy intense A/V setup and had spare conduit runs from the basement mechanical room to the attic for the feeds. The tech folks will integrate it into the house Crestron system eventually but we installed a Caseta/Pico remote dimmer in the attic so they can control it in the mean time. Crestron has crazy lead times for devices apparently so they may not see that for a few months.

I'm annoyed the lift control integrated coverplate doesn't fit flush to the wall over a standard remodel box. Will have to swap it with something thinner.

I actually thought assembling the 960 pieces of glass would be the most time consuming but the lift work devoured the time savings we had there.
