It's not just getting up there, but it's also holding the housing in one hand while wiring it up in the other. At 20 feet in the air, it's a royal pain if you realize you need something that isn't with you at that exact moment.


But, as a DIY'er myself, I applaud your willingness to tackle this on your own!

My least favorite part of fan installs is balancing the damned thing so it doesn't shake. Most are pretty good out of the box but I've had some that took plenty of fiddling with to get right.
