How many Gattis does it take to change a light bulb?





How many Gatti's does it take to change a light bulb? Pretty much all of them when they are 18 feet off the ground. The lights in the family room burned out some time ago and we were down to our last recessed light. Finally we cashed in some of Mayette's Winster points on Amazon to get a 16 foot step ladder. A ladder that size doesn't manuver well in doors and no one was really thrilled to climb it either. We didn't count on the fact that a step ladder that high has a foot print large enough to be worthless at getting into corners as well. However between that ladder and an 11 foot pole from home depot we were able to do the job with Mayette steadying the ladder, Melissa taking pictures, little JC directing (always) and myself ascending. No Gattis were harmed in the taking of these photos, and those freshly painted walls only required minor touch ups.
