Oops - someone did not really think that through at the design stage!


Yep; bless'em, architects are such clueless ****s sometimes.
I installed high-up lighting in a barn conversion and suggested it
would be a good idea to arrange things in such a way as to enable lamp
replacement. The owners insisted on talking to the architect, who said
to just go ahead and stick to the drawings... What a ******. He didn't
like a humble artisan type highlighting his ****-up.
