Fiat Lux

I've just replaced the light fixtures on the ceiling fans in Katie and Julie's bedroom and the guest bedroom. They've been disabled since the girls discovered that they could reach and attempt to swing from the pulls while bouncing on the beds in the rooms.

The pulls are not yet replaced at the end of the chains. I can reach the chain nubs. daisy_knotwise can't.

We'll discuss this. :)

That reminds me. I need to replace the pull on the light in the closet-cum-bookshelf.

I recall destroying a light fixture or two that way as a kid.

Clearly the evil fairy arrived at your home and wished you adventurous children, because you've got them!

Obviously, you need pulls that Gretchen can reach, but the girls can't. The trick is finding that right length.

How about a reacher that Gretchen can keep locked up that would allow her to reach the pull if needed? I suspect that anything she could reach without assistance would be definitely reachable by bouncing on the bed.

Such a thing is being discussed. I'm still pondering the design.
yes, Katie's reach is rapidly gaining on mine.
That's what I get for marrying tall.

Hopefully by the time Katie's reach exceeds yours, she will have gained at least a modicum of sense.

Where does the wire to the ceiling fan run? Mine goes up through the wall near the door and I have a wall switch. I can leave the pulls on and turn it on and off there.

The fan is also controlled by the wall switch, but it only controls power to the whole fan, so you can't adjust the speed or turn the light on and off there without switching everything on and off.
