We\u2019re hoping to hang the last chandelier this coming weekend.  It was no small task but a task worth every bit of effort we put into it.  <\/p>\n<p>Hubby started with the chandelier in the foyer.  First he lowered the hoist from the ceiling and attached the medallion and frame then wired the chandelier from the ground floor.  How sweet!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SqhxjM5V2hI\/AAAAAAAAD54\/52CbvlGiZ08\/s1600-h\/DSC04249.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 277px; height: 400px;\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_15jEUMtexcE\/SqhxjM5V2hI\/AAAAAAAAD54\/52CbvlGiZ08\/s400\/DSC04249.JPG\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\"id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379674604465150482\" \/><\/a><br \/>We unwrapped the crystals securing them on a table for the next step.
