No, this isn't a joke!

We have a super high entryway - basically 2 stories. The lightbulbs need changing, and they are about 18 feet up. How in the heck are we supposed to change them? I don't really want to buy a new ladder (do they even make them that high?!?), and I don't know anyone that has one that tall. It would have to be a A-frame ladder, not an extension, since the wall isn't close to the lights.

While I was looking up there I also started thinking about painting...

Remind me to only buy houses with 1-story entryways from now on!!
